[size=85][color=#333333][i]Hi,
i don’t live in the vicinity but that’s not really an issue. It does depend on when and at what time I could pick it up.[/i][/color][/size]
Actually I don’t have time as something has come up, so please send it as soon as you guys fixed it
So I received the controller last Friday morning and I’ve been printing almost non-stop since. Although I was very impatient to get the controller back, I think Velleman handled this very well!
The printer is performing better then expected, especially since i had 2 weeks of waiting to do and getting out a lot of the mechanical pitfalls seemed like a good way to kill time
I’ve been printing upgrades so far, added a case around the controller, fan duct, secondary PSU for heat bed, power plug and power switch, extruder gear cover, cable guide (to get the flat cable over the Y-belt without them touching). I also mounted the Heat bed upside down because it seemed weird to leave the PCB board be between the glass and the copper of the heat bed. To do this I embedded the thermistor in the PCB. Now my heat bed gets from 19c to 50c in about 4 minutes and i print directly on the glass. As soon as the brim sticks the print will not let go of the glass until the temp drops to about 35c. I clean it between prints with a piece of toilet paper and alcohol ketonatus 96% (cleaning alcohol).
next on the agenda is the GT2 upgrade (waiting for the ball bearings).
