Topic: Greetings from Coventry - England - Just bought a Solidoodle ?
Hi
Just bought a Solidoodle ?I say ? as unsure which one, the previous owner wasn't sure thought it might be a 2 but the bed seems to big it has a glass heated bed 210mmx210mm came in a wooden enclosure, came with no manuals no software a couple of meters of ABS, a dodgy power supply (works if in just the right position) and sold on the well known auction site. Bought unworking as the extruder was clogged and the previous owner had handed his notice in and was moving the OZ so selling all his gear off. Bought it cheap but need to sort it out. Never had one before, I work in software and ok with a soldering iron and a meter and have a tool kit so time for some fun, just may need some guidance.
Spent an evening tinkering and have mostly cleared the clog but when feeding when 30 mm off the bed the extrusion kind of curls back round on the nozzle so may need some further cleaning.
Have it hooked up to pronterware and Repetier and can manually move the extruder around trying to print it just causes a mess, seems the nozzle is moving in the melted ABS on the bed.
So will dial in Z axis and then the extruder feed and then need a decent test print file.
Look forward to some help then helping others and finding out what I have.
