Stage 20 to 25 more rod assemblies and fiddling about with getting the belts on them. Installing y-axis limit switch and slider belt clamps.



blurry sorry about that


Adjusting the belt/rod alignments...


Thanks for looking!

Just got the email indicating to not use the power cable supplied with pack 10. Email indicates the supplied cable is the UK version (I'm in the USA). Do I recall correctly seeing something about this in someone else's build diary?
Anyway I guess my build is on hold for now, until the replacement arrives...

I have received an additional e-mail, indicating to make sure US builds switch to 115V on the power supply.
Does anyone know if this is the solution to the issue or should I still wait for a new power cable?

I am guessing that the cable issue is more to do with the style of the plug as i believe in the USA YOUR PLUG END DESIGNS ARE DIFFERENT TO THE 3 pin Uk version.
Happy Modelling

Hi Rev

The power box has a standard switch to enable the use of the power supply in Europe and the USA to be utilized.

As for the power cable its got a UK 3 pin plug that is different to your plugs. The replacement will be the same type but with the correct plug to fit your power sockets.

From what I understand the US spec power lead is being sent to US customers, approx 2-3 weeks.

Here it is if you can't wait..

I don't mind waiting, because replacement is included as part of the subscription ( I would think so anyway)
I was just a little confused as to which part customer service was emailing about, but I understand now.
Thanks

Finally finished up the build/calibration and tackled my first print today. Clearly I was very bad at updating my build every step of the way. But here you go...The first part of the print appears to have slid slightly? Or maybe it's a raft setting issue.

No worries. I am attempting again today!
Does anyone know if it is normal for it to start at the back like in the picture above? Wouldn't it be better in the middle of the table? Maybe I need to recalibrate or adjust something in the settings.

That is a bit odd.You can center the object in repetier host to the center of the print bed.maybe try at different .stl file to print.Thingiverse has tons of free 3d models to print.
