I didn't like this happening so I opened up a USB cable and cut the 5V wire. Since both devices are powered, you only need the data wires and ground (in fact I'm not even sure you need the ground).

If anyone wants an "elegant outlook" sticker for any of their machines, I'd be happy to create some for a price :D

Having just replaced the mainboard, I'm thinking it might be interesting to come up with our own version which would work with the community firmware. $70 is not that outrageous but I was definitely …

FWIW, the thermistor is on a connector so it can be disconnected and the resistance checked with a multimeter. It should be around 100kΩ. You can buy the thermistors from banggood with the connector …

Well, I printed the guide and I believe it seems to help. First go, the filament got bunched up inside and broke the top clip but I got that reinforced and actually added the planned ptfe tube. I do …

<div>The layers are always going to be somewhat weaker and you'll generally get a fairly clean break between them. Bear in mind that you're not welding and it's a different process despite supe…

Just bear in mind when changing nozzle size that the printer is limited in how fast it can melt the plastic for extrusion. Does anyone know what the limit is on these printers?

That should be all that's needed. Does it seem like the home switch isn't working or does the bed just not move?

I got my z-axis fixed by replugging on the motherboard. While I have the case open (I'm just about to close it back up), I thought I'd take a picture just for information. Quality is not that great b…

I did have some weird issues with my A1 which I fixed by…
