Bill, Could you find an answer from this ATX PSU rebuild description from reprap? It helped me at least. http://reprap.org/wiki/Choosing_a_Power_Supply_for_your_RepRap /Peter |
| BillTodd:
Thanks Peter, I've just hooked the5Vsb into the VCC pin and it now powers Marlin and allows me to power down the 12v from the menu :) |

Never let it be said I rush projects... A belated update: 2017 I got busy with work so only got to play printers towards the end of the year. I managed to set the machine up to the point of printing , well, a mess. I replaced my home-brew extruder with a Chinese one , only to find out the problem I was having was simply one of temperature ! The first attempts to print were bugged with Y axis problems : The Y axis slideway (PEEK on anodised ally) kept sticking so i resolved to replace it with a rolling bearing. October '17 I got involved with a year long project at work (still ongoing!) but finally today, I found time to mod the axis with the bag of China's best plastic rollers : And now I have my first ever successful print :nrocks: It's a simple bezel for a OLED display (I chose it because it is small and ready to go) |

Nice work. |
| BillTodd:
What happened??? --- calling 3d print experts After two successful prints (one over night - pecil holder dog from Thingyverse), the extruded filament does not want to stick [edit] extruder seems to work ok when open but clicks and seems to stall when trying to print onto initial layers suggestions please (I'm just trying increasing the temperature a bit) Bill |
