    How do I know what length lead screw to look for? We are not going to find another 10 start I suspect, so will need to look for a lead screw with the most starts possible. Anyone have any other thoughts?

    @carl your game is beautiful. But sorry, still no bed of 300x300, it is not necessary for me at the moment.
    Unfortunately I do not have time to print them your board games.

    @carl for your game if you plan to distribute it, the better would be to print once a mold, and then inject a resin.

    thank you Sebastien
    just had to ask! just in case you had time or could :thumbsup:.. yes i was hoping to distribute it but only print to order at the moment it takes 22 hours 34 mins to make one Game with two printers the Lautr3k and my 8" prusa

    Would a full ramps 1.4 be adequate for this build?
    I plan to attempt this build using the openbuilds leadscrews :)
    I am extremely new to printing so advise as to the type of electronics will be needed.
    Ty in advance :)

    Robert - Yes the kit it a good price for what is in it. Also I have a V5 extruder that I am converting to V6 and have been able to boil abs in it without a problem. The only flaw in the v5 was the attachment of the thermistor to the heater block and that was solved with "Muffler and Tailpipe Sealer" puddy. Once installed never to be removed. I also like the fact that they are using clamping method of attachment on the heater element on the V6 as the v5 used a set screw and it was possible to move the heater element because of that.

    Otherwise you are going down the correct track.

    Thank you so much for the fast response, I'm making up parts now for the mechanical while I wait for some things to come in for the Stinger.
    Since I don't have a printer all the plastic parts will be made of aluminum and parts from openbuilds.
    So not a true copy but everything will operate in the same fashion.
    I may also go with 20x40 for the x axis

    For travel without printing, I go up to 180mm/Seconds. Faster it starts to vibrate too much.

    I designed it in sketchup along with a 1/4 and 3/8 inch spacer block to fill the void in between the bed and lead nut :)
    Here is a pic of how I connected everything, speed tests to come after work.

    Wow! Ok I was way off on that an I'm sure I won't get that speed, but testing will show what I can ;)
    What micro step setting are you using?

    What voltage are you running the system @?
    Sorry for all the dumb questions I'm sure the info is listed :/

    Nvm I see the 12dc pc power supply :)

    I have tested it @12dc 1/16 step,2200 mm a min setting.
    So if I'm right here, 2200\60 gives me 36.666 mm a sec max before the motor stalls.
    My current is only set for 1 amp because I don't have the driver heatsinked, will be heat sinking the ramps 1.4 setup for sure.

    i have been having a similar problem so im going to trying thz when the come http://www.ebay.com/itm/271419276953 BUT a frend of mine has got them but he has seid (QUOTE) Be carefull, these are used the other way around.... What I mean is the trim pot goes opposite end to the current drivers, you'll also need to alter jumpers under driver and unfortunately you'll need to re do your firmware as the distances will then be all wrong (end QUOTE ).......but i do seem to have it salted at the mo by just messing around with all settings its not perfect yet but works, i hole the new drivers may help ..i hope this helps you in some way :nailbite::)

    I was going to go the same route but was told that the kit I got will drive my motors at the full 1.5 amps with heat sinking so I hope it fixs the issue of stalling :duh:

    Since the stock is out on 90s I have made up a temp fix so I can continue :cool:

    Here is the base fully assembled so I can design the Z motor mounting ;)

    I have decided to go with a 2 part mount using 1/4" plate.
    The first is the motor mount with a 30% pocket operation done on it.
    The secound will be a simple 1/4" spacer plate :)

    I didn't plan on making up parts but if it turns out as I hope I may just do that and put some kits together ;)

    I just really need a printer to put all the final touches on my builds so they can all be complete :)

    I will be releasing the files when the build is complete for and milling peps that are looking to build a printer :D

    I should prob do a build log instead of filling this one lol

    And here it is at a stand still, all out of T nuts and hardware is running low.
