| | 200 | Time has passed, time to revive the project. With the help of other enthusiasts I have re-printed most of the parts in much higher quality. And did a re-assemble of the complete printer with same new additional features: |
| | 201 | * E3D v6 nozzle design |
| | 202 | * GT2 timing belts for X and Y axis, with metal gears. |
| | 203 | * Heated prusa PCB printbed, with cork underlayment and glass mirror top. |
| | 204 | * Raprap Discount Smart Controller mounted on megatronics board |
| | 205 | * Marlin 2.x firmware |
| | 206 | |
| | 207 | It's a Frankenstein design for sure, but it work (sort of), after some endless tuning (and manual bed levelling) I now able to print objects. 5 years of slicer design made things a whole bunch more easy. [https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer PrusaSlicer] is a absolute big help over here. |

| | 209 | Things currently causing issues: |
| | 210 | * Feeder is no good. Lots of grinding and pressure just seems 'off'. |
| | 211 | * Existing programs to edit models files are limited available for personal use. For example SketchUp, DesignSpark retrict usage to only their tooling. And Solid Edge, Solidworks are to my knowledge not available for free for personal use. I have some luck with [http://www.artofillusion.org/ Art Of Illusion] which seems to be freeware. How--ever I personally only like those which are open source. Sticking to [https://librecad.org/ LibreCAD], [https://www.freecad.org FreeCAD] or [https://openscad.org/ OpenSCAD]. |
