I'm also in waiting like you guys. The last post has one, but it isn't ideal, or designed that well. And certainly doesn't work with the updated BOM, or build guidelines.

For sure it is a bit crazy. I try and redocument as I go, and keep a copy local for the next time. But sometimes it is a one-off procedure, or a printer I'm only building one of. So, those times I just make a mental note (that I end up forgetting) and try to do it right the next time. And this...

I've built Fysetc, Formbot, and LDO. I want to try a Magicphoenix, and Blurolls, but Blurolls doesn't seem to offer them. Unless you pay over 1300. And it seems from above that the price is the quality that makes a brand better than the other. So what do I know? Well... I know I had the most...

How has it been printing?

How is everyone, who has or is building a SW, getting the Y belt tight? I am finding it difficult to both pull on each side of the belt, keep enough tension on it, and the put the belt holder on. If there were two belt clamps instead of one, it might be easier. Suggestions? I'm sure I'm...

I have one and it gets in the way of my klicky enough that I had to cut a slot in it. But without it I'd have little pieces of filament everywhere. I need to figure something else out, that's for sure.

If the lights are setup in your config file, and it sounds like they are since they are on, then you MAY have a section in the bottom left, below those errors you were getting. Should say something to the effect of "case light" "light" or something, you can adjust there. Or, in your printer.cfg...

Until I get everything dialed in, and it seems like there is always something to keep tuning, I'm on .4 nozzles. I do have a wide array of different sizes, but don't want to introduce another variable to adjust everything around.

I had forgotten about this. Glad to see some folks got them and have them running. Siboor sat around not doing anything, so I inquired about when the printer would be getting to me. They blamed covid and Candice not showing up to work. Took them about a month to finally refund as well. Glad...

Maybe we are using different things? Because it sticks so good it will pull up the coating. And waiting until it cools? Haha, it is more stuck after cooling. It is WAY EASIER to take it off the smooth PEI side when it is warm. However, I have some WhamBam sheets that are phenomenal. After...

Mine are all still going. I noticed one of the vendors in Colorado jacked their prices up to make an extra 100 or so from each kit. Strange. Keep up the good work and weed out those bad vendors. They don't help with the image. And there are tons of pitfalls you need to keep in mind when...

For fun? Crazy.

I promise I'm not stalking you, or following you around, but this is great advice. I had to continually print parts as I was building because I forgot some things, or broke some things, so making sure it is all on hand before dedicating the time is a very good suggestion. One I wish I had done a...

This is my only issue as well. I am in the process, well while I am building my v0.1s, of tearing my 2.4 down and rebuilding. My gantry needs some tuning as the directions seemingly gloss of having the same gap up front by the idlers. I was wondering why I couldn't access the left-most section...
