Have you tried connectors designed for underground use? The ones for phone lines can be purchased at hd. They use an epoxy

After two incidents of the same nature, I removed my touch screen

Which drivers did you use? Others may have similar issues and could benefit from what you have learned.

I have been using a sheet of paper. Slight drag on paper between glass and nozzle at all four corners. Working on the auto bed level routine now. Seems like an excellent setup for dependable prints. ...

When you wash the purple off with water, it turns purple again.

This works very well. I picked up on it in the RepRap forums somewhere. For PLA it works without heating the glass. If I am not concerned about a very smooth surface on the glass side, I don't...

I am not sure about that setting. I am using Marlin as a firmware. Would it be in the firmware? Notice the X axis move towards the home position. That is NOT in the g-code either. It will also...

My printer is doing an odd thing. I have posted this on the reprap forum in the RAMPS section, but have received zero feedback. Thinking maybe someone...

Unless I am looking for a prefect finish, I don't even clean the glass between prints. Just reapply glue to the area the last print covered. It will start to build up, but lightly scraping a blade...

There are some screen sets for touch screens available if the standard one has buttons too small. I order one of the screens from the link. This will address a space constraint for me. Thanks for the...

I am using the purple Elmers. It works great with pla. I don't even turn the bed on. Not much impact on abs.

I learned to use kisslicer to see paths. Wider was not always the answer. Reducing the width allowed the program to use an additional pass that filled the gaps. I also learned to modify the width of...

Printer is working. Now I am learning how to adjust the settings to get the best prints. Last night I printed ramps fan mounts out of pla. They turned out nearly perfect.

...

Well done on the mounts. I put a 56C 1.5 hp motor on my G704, too. I learned not all 56c motors are the same. The mounting surface is, but the body of the motor may vary. I have two motors. One...

Is it happening when you are cutting? Is vibration causing one of your switches to bounce or falsely trigger for a moment? I would use process of elimination to identify where the issue is...

So the negative move on the z axis is driven by gravity? Seems a captured nut would be a better option for accuracy. If it collided with something, the steppers will just skip steps.

Today I...

I am stumbling on how to assemble the z axis nut. Seems it needs to be pressed into the plastic pocket. Should I heat the nut or just physically press it in? How do they stay put?

I went with the ramps. $140 for kit including fan, limit switchs, LCD, sd, and some wiring. Everything is assembled and booted up. Now need to learn how to setup Marlin.

This weekend, I cut the tray and one of the back braces. I came up short about 17"on aluminum.

Below you can see the assembled frame short one back brace. Three frame pieces fit together nicely....

It appears you are losing steps. May try slowing it down some.

I have started building a Prusa I3. Purchased the plactics off ebay and planned to cut the plates on my G704. I could not get TurboCAD to open the DXF files for the original designs. Found where...

Did you use ball screws or acme in that g704 model? Which driver? :) Very cool!

I had been denying a backlash issue. But it could very well be the issue. Since I posted this question, I noticed some bolt holes were not round. Discovered the X axis nut that maintains the...

Cutting a cap for a tube clamp using my G0704. Software is Turbocad, Sheetcam, Mach3. I have two half circles drawn with the center point being the same. The small circle has a diameter of 2.4"...

I have no idea. Hoping someone knows of one.

Has anyone imitated the 22 cal zombie gun by Red Jacket? Seemed reliable and safe with the low recoil off the 22.

I have tried it upsided down, right side up, backwards and from the wrong side. Locks were removed when originally converted. The only thing I have not done is tear it back down, which I will do...

My G704 is one of the early versions. In fact, it is #85 in 2010. I converted it to CNC immediately and have been running it A LOT since then making some parts I sell. In a recent lull in...

I too am using FRP to line my particle board enclosure. Are the leaks at the seams of the FRP?

The Ebay link shows more than 10 available. Got mine! My X needs it bad. Thanks Hoss.
