			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>So, I had my Solidoodle 2 for almost a year now, and it&#039;s been out of comission for most of it. I had problems with the bed being warped which made it impossible to print large items, I had the motherboard dying on me, I had the VREFs on the replacement board being wildly off calibrated, I had problems keeping the printer powered!<br />Things that happened:<br />- new flat bed with a nice brand new piece of kapton (courtesy of Solidoodle)<br />- new un-calibrated motherboard (replacement from Solidoodle)<br />- scotch-taped the powerchord to the printer so it stays in position and keeps the machine powered<br />- connected a 60mm fan to the computers PSU and attached the fan towards the motherboard, keeping it cool!</p><p>Now I told you I havn&#039;t been able to use the printer for most of the time, I had serious issues with the Y-carriage misbehaving, and later the bed and heater couldn&#039;t be heated at the same time. I tried every kind of calibration there is, adjusting VREFs, lubing the rods, reinstalling computers, drivers and software, tweaking settings, changing USB-cables. Nothing worked.</p><p>Then I was moving stuff around and I unplugged the chord from the poweradapter, and later of course plugged it back in. A simple &quot;disconnect/connect&quot;. Voila. Printer runs. Flawlessly.</p><p>I&#039;m confused to if I should be pissed that all my problems was caused by I don&#039;t even know why that would solve anything (but a similiar thing works when fiddling with computers, detaching and reattaching the ATX connectors to the motherboard from the computers PSU when the PSU is bad works as a temporary fix sometimes), or if I should be happy that I finally can play around with one of the most expensive toys I ever bought. I&#039;m leaning towards happy though, my pieces for my very own boardgame is coming along nicely! (a project that&#039;s been on hold since the printer stopped working).</p>]]></content>
