Wow! Great ! I am totally jealous of the sweet stand/case you've built for your Printrbot.
I read through the link to the creation of your extruder, are you now using the one he describes, the ? I need to print a second extruder and was looking at the , but I haven't used anything except the Wade's Extruder that came with my Printrbot. Do you like the Huxley? Any pros or cons over a Wade's?
I've got bunches of various stepper motors around from CNC projects (NEMA 17 & 23,) but I sure would like to buy another Kysan to match the ones I'm already using.
My Ramps 1.4 kit left Shenzen on 6/17 (5 days ago,) so it could show up any minute. I've been looking at various cases for it:
But your custom case is pretty sexy, I've been doing a bit of fiberglassing lately and may have to start thinking about upping my game and doing something fancier.
Luckily it looks like Ramps 1.4 is happy with Pronterface, I've grown accustomed to it and switching slicers has been enough for me on this project. I'll keep careful notes while setting it up and am glad to help any I can!
