				<description>Thermostat for left extruder stuck reading 60C</description>

					<![CDATA[
						 <p>Hi All,</p> <p>I am having an issue with my Generation 1 Replicator Dual thermostat for my Left extruder assembly. I recently bought a new extruder assembly and just got it wired onto my Makerbot. The right extruder works fine, but the left extruder is stuck at 60C. When I try unhooking the right extruder thermostat, I get an error reading that the unit is no longer receiving a signal from this sensor. However, when I unhook the the left extruder thermostat I do not get this error, so it appears that the unit still thinks that it is getting a reading from this sensor. Furthermore, I have confirmed that the left extruder is heating up and I have used a infrared thermometer to confirm that it is reaching a temperature over 60c.</p> <p>I am running firmware 7.5, and everything else appears to be up to date.</p> <p>Does anyone have any experience with this or a similar issue and can possible recommend some troubleshooting solutions? Please let me know if you need any other information.</p> <p>Thanks!</p>

						 <p>Hello All,<br /> I read about the Magnetic Linear Encoder from this link:<br /> makerbot-dot-wikidot-dot-com-forward slash-mle</p> <p>It says that: &quot; If you combine this with a motor and a microcontroller, then you can build a closed-loop positioning system whose speed and position can be precisely determined and controlled, even if something unexpected happens.&quot;</p> <p>Questions:<br /> 1. I need a Micro-controller board in between the Magnetic Linear Encoder, in this case Arduino Uno, and the makerbot controller board for translation, is this correct?</p> <p>2. I have a cupcake the very 1st version, has anyone close the loop to this machine? How do you install the magnetic strip to the XY axes?</p> <p>thanks,</p>

						 <p>So, I posted this to the Makerbot google group also, but my post isn't showing. I hope it's because of a technical problem, and not just me being impatient with moderators approving my first post or something&#8230;</p> <p>Anyway, hi everyone, my name is Jeff and I'm working on a Thing-o-matic owned by my local makerspace. The machine is running with Jetty firmware and up until recently, an MK7 extruder. I've had consistent problems with the extruder in terms of feeding issues, admittedly most of which are caused by low ambient temp in the shop. For more consistent behavior, I've built a no-hob extruder (Thingiverse thing 28430).</p> <p>The extruder is working great in terms of filament feeding. The problem I'm having now is getting the machine profile and skeinforge profiles set up appropriately and I'm hoping someone can help.</p> <p>I've read all the threads I can find about calculating steps per mm, although I've been unable to find one specific to replicatorg and the ToM with a geared extruder. Based on the math provided by the extruder designer (in the instructions section of the thingiverse page) I have the steps per mm set to 970. I've created a new machine definition in the /machines/thingomatic-advanced.xml file based on the original settings and added the new stepspermm value, and I've confirmed (through the machine information menu option) that the value is being loaded.</p> <p>The gearing is giving me fits. I figure with a 47/9 gear ratio (5.222) and the new driver gear giving an additional 1.89 ratio (old was 10.58mm, new is 5.2mm) I *think* that gives me an effective drive gear size of 1.07mm. I plugged that into the ProfileMaker on Makerblock and generated a new profile. The resulting print had an extrusion speed that was WAY too slow based on the 20mm test cube I printed.</p> <p>Has anyone swapped in a geared extruder onto their ToM? If so, can you either find a flaw in my math, or thing of something I've missed? I'm inclined to think I missed something somewhere in a config file or in the app because even increasing the stepspermm value dramatically in the XML file doesn't appear to change anything.</p> <p>Thanks for reading,</p> <p>Jeff</p>

						 <p><em>Setup: Cupcake, MK6, Gen-3, 3G Shield Hack, HBP</em></p> <p>My current print has larger periods of travel in order to build tall pilers on the corners of the object. During the time of travel from one corner of the object to the other, the nozzle starts to extrude 1-2 seconds before arriving to the corner. As a result, each of the pilers has little excess lines of plastic hanging from the sides. I'll have to go in and trim it to clean it up.</p> <p>Is there a setting that deals with this in SF? Some setting that will prevent the nozzle from turning on too soon before arriving to the destination of where it should start extruding?</p>

						 <p>Surface Windows RT had was released for a long time. It supports a lot of video formats, if you have got one, you should have had a good movie playing time with it. However, if you are an AVI video fun, you will find its default Xbox video player can't recognise all AVI files. After testing, we found the RT tablet supports AVI video in DIVX, XVID, MPEG code well, but if AVI in MSMPEG codec, it doesn't. For example the below question.</p> <p>[b]Hi all, Anyway, I'm planning to buy a SURFACE RT tablet but I need to know if it has some PC features that are found a mental to me. As far as I know VIDEO doesn't support .avi formats. Are developers able to integrate these formats in their metro apps? I want to thank everybody in advance for your help.[/b]</p> <p>To help all guys to backup any AVI file to RT for playing, we advice you to encode AVI to the most compatible video format MP4. This [b]AVI to Surface Windows RT Converter[/b] is the key for the issue. It’s the best assistance for you to convert any AVI video files to a common video H.264 .mp4 for Microsoft Surface tablet. You will be satisfied with the output video quality and conversion speed on your PC.</p> <p>[b]Guide: Transcode any AVI video to Microsoft Surface Windows RT video format[/b]</p> <p>1. Download, install and run the Surface RT AVI converter to load your kinds of AVI files to it. Join several files together via checking the “Merge into one” box if necessary.</p> <p>2. Click “Format”, select “Windows” &gt; “Microsoft Surface Surface RT H.264 Video (*.mp4)” as the output format. The output videos are encoded in 16:9, bring you [b]full screen playback on Surface RT[/b] tablet.</p> <p>3. Start to convert AVI to Surface Windows RT with the best video/audio settings via hitting the Convert button.</p> <p>After the conversion, tap the Open icon to get the output video. Then, it would become easy for you to copy and watch AVI movies on Surface RT with the metro app Xbox video or other Microsoft Surface RT video players.</p>

						 <p>About half way through this last year, my work took me overseas for extended and unpredictable periods. This brought all work in my personal Mad Scientist Lab to a halt, including my TOM, which I had upgraded through Mark 6+, and had printed literally dozens of reels of ABS through on various projects. It's been cold and still for months and months now. When I checked back on MakerBot a few weeks ago, I saw how things had progressed through the Replicator 2.</p> <p>Looking for real information from real users (as opposed to the press release type stuff from back at the end of September), I'm not finding anything. So here are some questions (and apologies in advance for duplication):</p> <p>** Are there any Rep2s actually out there in users' hands?</p> <p>** If so, how has the general experience been?</p> <p>** What is the basic user community thinking about what seems like a major, huge departure from the CupCake-&gt;TOM line of development?</p> <p>** In terms of print quality and print time, is there any real, independent assessment of how the Rep2 stacks up against the TOM and other currently available machines?</p> <p>I sincerely appreciate any info and comments from the folks here on the board who have been so informative and helpful in the past!</p>

				<title>Extruder Fan Not Working after Firmware Upgrade</title>

				<description>Updating the software and firmware seems to have introduced a problem with the extruder fan not coming on when I print.</description>

						 <p>I'm using a TOM with MK7 extruder. Everything was working fine and then I upgraded to ReplicatorG 0040 and updated the firmware to Motherboard v4.1 and Extruder v3.1 Now my extruder fan doesn't come on when I am printing. Is there a setting I need to change to get the fan to come back on?</p> <p>The problem is that this causes overheating (I'm guessing) when I try to print and then the filament doesn't feed correctly to allow the extruder to work correctly.</p> <p>Everything was working correctly until I updated the software and firmware.</p>
