Hi Denny,
Greetings,
Still frustrated but the end is in sight.
Yet to actually do any more than extrude some abs, then that even stopped working.
As I was replying to your previous comments (and getting close to 3~4 pages), the more I read it the more clarification I was actually sorting this out my self as I went on and re-read it.
Things were looking good for a little while until a previous fix on the X axis (drive end) failed as I did not take out the m5 nut that was not sitting correctly and was stuffing up the Y axis movement (the nut was rotating bit by bit and thus causing jitters, throwing all my alignments out of whack).
I played with that for a while and thought I had it sorted out, but all was not to be.
Somehow or way, my next issue, there is a threaded rod that connects the hot end to the extruded, it snapped without me knowing it and after a few test runs (with no printed result), the hot end separated itself from the extruded, I screwed the hot end back into the extruder assembly (before I knew it was busted) and it effectively ground away the main extrusion gear.
I am picking up a new extruder assembly today (and then I will go looking for spare parts) to fix the 1st one.
I needed to get back in touch with you so you did not think that I have been ignoring your valuable input and still want to chat about your current project as it looks very interesting.
I'll be back
Cheers
Daggs
