Platform Testing

How well the part stick to the platform!!!
(This is after I tear the part out)

Print of the Day

Here are the trials today, for the benefits of Tian Cheng and Francis;

The feed rate was too much, causing the parts over filled (Bottom row)(1->2->3). I increased the program to fill more as well. the final pieces on bottom right was much better after correction, but too bad the part fell off the platform and I had to stop. I think it is the warp that cause the trouble......

I cleaned the extruder drive screw tooth too, the grip got better and feed better/more. 2nd piece was the result, still over filled even I slow down the extruder motor. :(

Winner of the day; - y-idler-bracket (Top right)

Heated Bed control photo

Here is a photo of the comparator circuit for the Heated Bed. Tested and solved the warping issue =)

Reprap Pulley Print

Hummm, the pulley print still needs some effort. I am guessing the material I got had some problem causing void in my prints. Anyway here's the photo of it;

Progress of HEATER BED built

Here is the HEATER BED build for the last few days. Still has an analogue control circuit to make. Luckily I have an old project with similar design. So borrow it and do a "quick build" muHaHaHa.

Result of 6 Months !!!

Humm exactly 6 month since 10 May to 10 Nov where I made the first print. :)
So here is an overall pic of the machine. I will do a better housekeeping next time, but what to do when you are alone to order everything, make the electronics, mechanical from scratch,(a bit of help here) bang my head on the programming.....
Many Thanks to Tian Cheng and Francis who helped and encourage along the way, Thanks again.

My First solid print (A Gear)

Finally I get my post right... Ok, Here is my first photo post of first solid object print on my Mendel. Now I iunderstand what the warp is about. The bottom of the gear warp and become like a bowl like form.


So the next thing I need is the HEATED BED !!! (To resolve this common issue)
