Bleedin' freedee printers.
« on: June 18, 2014, 08:52:56 PM »
Does any one want to buy a built Prusa Mendel printer at cost just cover what it cost me in parts and it's yours.

Feck knows how they print things, all I get is a pile of mashed up plastic no matter what I do, everything sort of works until you want to print then nuffin'.

In related news, i ran an unusually long pass on my machine last night.  About 10.5hrs on one tool - would have been a fair few lines of g-code. I need to run a few more passes on the job before its finished too - you can then see why some of these parts are high value.

(this is just panel work, rather than true 3d output)

Don't give up, it is probably something small. I once took weeks to find a comma instead of a full stop that was causing a problem in some data base code.
Don't sell it yet wait a week or two but I might be interested if you decide to pass it on.
