Received my Second Gen board today. Was easy to setup and I should be printing buy this afternoon.

how did the printing go Don?

Don C · #29 12-29-2011, 08:40 PM

It worked really well. The only problem I had was ledges where there wasn't something to support the plastic. Other then that everything worked right out of the box. I used a maker bot Plastruder and a nexgin temperature controller, a .35 mm nozzle and 1.75 PLA.

I was using a PMDX 126 breakout board with a Smoothstepper a Gecko's 203v drives.
Thanks

Here is a video on my cnc machine that I added an extruder stepper driven. The video speed shown is the actual speed of the machine

3D printer using mach3 on a cnc machine - YouTube

The machine has a precison XYZ axis using ballscrews on the XY.
I'm using an old G540 4 axis step motopr driver and the laets lockdown version of mach3
I am using Gnexlab ver 2 controller and slic3d to generate the G code. If you stop the video at about 19 seconds you can clearlt see the nice internal thread.
