@Joshua_Taylor hilarious, I am sitting here looking at modifying an X carriage on Thingiverse to use TR8 leadscrews for the DaVinci.

22

You might look at Sonny Lowe’s mods for the i3 though

23

@Samer_Najia LOL maybe I’m not as crazy as I thought haha.

24

@Joshua_Taylor great minds my friend
…great minds. I am actually planning that for my Fab@Home.

25

@Samer_Najia I seen a post mentioning it but I hadn’t seen someone do a build of total Thread. Should be named the MaxThread build etc.

26

@Joshua_Taylor check it out on Thingiverse. There is at least one more X gantry mod like that. I plan to totally ditch the belts. I know the belts are great and light and easy, but constantly adjusting tension annoys…especially on an experimental.

@Samer_Najia and I just burned up my Last extruder motor. I’ve really come to hate this printer.

28

What sort of printer?

29

My M3D Micro.

Yeah there’s a point when you give up and start again. I’ve done that many times.

My friend’s DaVinci 2.0A is a headache. At least until I switched over to repetier firmware. Now it runs great! And I can use any filament I like, though I haven’t tried too many options yet
