Plastic pieces came. Spent the weekend putting it all together.
Just need end stops and get the extruded going.
Almost there…
Which generally means: You’re just getting started!
Yes, you are absolutely correct!! I have been eagerly waiting to get started!
You should be able to test your system without the end stops and extruder installed. Setting up software and motor motion is quite a bit of the challenge
Eric, Yup… I was able to do some testing. Without the ES the motors only moved in one direction. I could have updated the firmware to set that differently, but I just waited a few days. I do have the End Stops now and everything works great! I am waiting sourcing the hobbed bolt right now. Once I have that, I should be able to get the extruder finished and begin printing. It has been a fun journey. I started towards the end of January.
@Jeffrey_Byrns , I just bought myself 2 MK8 extruder gears after reading airtripper’s comparison on his blog. I had really wanted to but the one from deezmaker, but I needed to buy 2 and price won me over
