Yes, but somtimes its about how much money your willing to spend to gain "Triumph";) For me it was, roughly no more than $200. So my Press is now for parts only.

But good luck to everyone who's still trying

Wow MacGyver.....I have to give you a boatload of credit for persevering in your attempts to make the Press a functional printer. Unfortunate that it seems like every time one problem is fixed, another one pops up to take its place...

Dream-Cypher, What do you think about this? It hangs low enough to do it's job and does not hit anything when it all the way foward. Printing it now. I'll have pics with it mocked up in a few.

sorry to resurrect an old thread, but i was wanting to use your extruder fan mount and i cant find the fan duct on your github, did you not end up using that part?

Yeah, The game plan is to make a new carriage system (Right now I am thinking all sheet aluminum, but that just depends how everything goes). I have all the parts line up and ready. The first thing I am going to tackle is the Z-Mount. (Mine is drooping pretty bad) I got the final measurements of the 'Z-Block' yesterday. I have a bunch of stuff happening at the homestead this weekend, but I should be able to mill out the plate early next week.
I have enough parts to make 4 complete sets and 10 plates of the replacement Z-Mount. Depending how this goes, And if anyone is interested I'll give the 4 complete sets to beta testers and sell the remaining plates... or something like that. I'll revisit that when I get it mounted and working.

You can put me down for a plate/kit (hoping there's still something left?)

Heh. So I was hour 3 in a 4.5hr print and I hear the printer stop in it's tracks. Basically acted like the print was finished. Confused and pissed I pulled the print off and attempted the home the machine. It only homed in one direction. So I am looking around in the machine and everything looks 'okay'. I try to home the machine again, same thing. Only homed in one direction. So I shut everything down and slowly started taking everything apart and I found this...

The header was still attached, but the solder points where not touching the pads. It was just floating there.

Argh. What the hell SD? What the hell.

Solitouch works in RH just fine, I believe the idea of the above bracket is for it to be made out of aluminium and not printed - could be wrong though.

The only additional parts would be a set of SCS8UU. Everything else would be harvested from the Press.
I'll start making the prototype on Monday / Tuesday. I'll report back later in the week with pictures and stuff.
I'd definitely be willing to beta test this for you as well, if you don't already have enough takers. (Though I suspect you do).
Dream-Cypher

In the case above it does matter. The bed frame is keyed into the molded part in three places. All of which are not at 90. Hence the upward slope I was having from front to rear.

At anyrate, I was hoping SD would have answer/commented on that.

I've already fixed it and now the bed is flat enough so I can print on the entire surface. I am going still going to replace that whole assembly anyway. I have a bunch of stuff to print and It would have been easier to use the whole bed vs. select spots that was level enough to print on.
