I don't use PLA, but corners warping with ABS is from too hot extrusion. The layer cools too fast & warps, usually curls up or pulls in (making a rounded corner & concave vertically, more likely with too hot bed.) I run Hatchbox ABS at 215 / 90. at 220, I get a bit of oozing, <218, no oozing...

Button solution? Or do you have a supply of buttons?

Your mind is the limit - well, actually, it's tools that probably limit you. I bought a sheet of aluminum & cut it with snips & bent it with pliers & JB welded the 2 pieces together (for my Keg). Not perfect, but functional.

As Steve said, the Pi would be the easier of the 2 to swap out. All it does is the network/graphing part, the controller handles the grill. As a matter of fact, Bryan should be getting his Alpha-level CHIPs this month...... (CHIP is a $9 computer similar to Pi). You're still going to need a...

For the 2nd issue, If you told me "I have 2 pieces of machinery, I need a consistent gap between them", my solution wouldn't be to add a servo probe measuring system and then compensate constantly during operation or use the measurement to turn the screws to set the gap. It would be, go to...

Does it move the Z throughout the whole print? That sounds like a recipe for backlash-induced error (as Bryan pointed out in the post beyond). Maybe my expectations are too low, but my X/Y/Z are well within +/-0.1mm and I could probably tune them within +/-0.05 using better filament than I...

Perhaps I'm weird (It's actually very likely), but I don't see the point of auto-leveling. Never used it, so maybe I'm missing something. Hear me out, there's a method to my madness. For the record, I did 4 1-2hr prints today & a 6hr was starting as I left the office, it has an hour left...

I use it, but it has worked fine on my GS3 & Note 4 - don't really NEED an update, but would always appreciate one.

Well, having a bunch of unfinished projects means you are the target audience for heatermeter :) Welcome to the island of misfit toys. I printed another case for my HM because I used it the other day & the slight warpage in 1 corner bothered me (3rd if you include the Lego case I made before...

If you 'know' PLCs (IE, competent enough to understand how to flash & set up Pi) & can solder through hole, you can have a HM up & running in maybe 2 evenings (~4hrs). Once done, you probably won't HAVE to fool with it again, other than using it. But you just might find that you WANT to fool...

That was my experience with JET as well. While I used what I had, it was for stuff I didn't care about. Ran it hot & reduced flow to keep it from clogging, but had skips/voids where it got narrow. PVC elbows, etc. There's a few brands on Amazon on the white spools like JET for about $20/kg...

I was looking for the biggest bed for the $ last year, I settled on the XYZ davinci at 8" cubed (almost). To be honest, I've printed probably 10kg of ABS & only filled the bed maybe 2x. with the trial & error nature of 3D printing, unless you have really simple structures, it works best for me...

Hopefully someone can help quick - I bet it's a simple thing I'm overlooking. I have an IR sensor (like a remote sensor) & an IR LED (circuit works with a visible LED & I can see IR on via phone camera). Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00EFOQEUM/tvwb-20 running the LED at...

yup, I doubt Bryan would have anything but the latest & greatest on there.

That table is freaking outstanding.

andysnider11.no-ip.org:8080 2 Butts in Turbo Mode (~300*, no fan/servo). I think Probe 2 is wonky, tried 2 probes & neither are working right. Will troubleshoot after the cook. Already updated HM & LM in-cook, better quit while I'm ahead.

Fusion 360 is an evolution of 123D. And you're describing my frustration with any modern CAD package I've tried - it's hard to go back & make changes (especially the farther back in the workflow you try to go). It was easier to do 3D in autocad r14 than it is in some of the solid modeling...

I've been using Fusion 360 from autodesk - free & works pretty well. I haven't created threads, but it can do it pretty easily. I don't like sketchup, but it's popular. Openscad is popular, but it's greek to me

You're not going to use an IP at all in the app. You're going to use "TrentCsGrill.no-ip.com" or whatever hostname you selected. No-ip is going to associate that name to your external IP (the one your router uses to communicate to your ISP). You'll enter that host-name, the app will connect to...

I've heard nothing but good things about the kick ash on the BKK forum, but I'm not dropping $60+ for a wire basket. Keg works well enough as-is.
