- Pronterface with SFACT
- 10/2/2011 CURRENT SCREENSHOT OF SETTINGS
Print Status
The printer is NOW printing. It needs better calibration, but it is close.
Current Work
This is the TODO or In-progress list...
Electronics
- Get the fan on the polulus mounted & connected to always be on
- Build a RAMPS case
- Clean up stepper wiring, and add some nice disconnects...
Mechanical
- Add a print cooling fan?
Software
- Speed up python?
Notes
- Turn on & off fan in D9 with M106
- Calibrating SFACT - DO THIS
- Spent lots of time getting bind out of the Y & Z - this is why the Polulus needed so much current, and why they were overheating...
