So my extruder stepper motor is pulsing as it extrudes at low speeds.  You can see in the picture that this is causing the plastic to lay down in a wavy pattern which is causing some strange effects in my prints. I am assuming this means I need to order a new motor.  Any thoughts? Anybody else experience this?

DePartedPrinter: are you experiencing this same problem (micro stepping) on your Press?

I mean, except installing the new driver and all...

Since I was fiddling with the solder, I unmounted the Sanguinololu and soldered all missing headers...

Especially if I could just plug it into my computer, open up Repetier Host and start printing again.

But I dont want to have to buy components from various sources, troubleshoot slight differences, follow various tutes sattered across 10 topics and mess about with software. I'm getting lazy in my middle years smile

I flat out refuse to do any surface mount stuff anymore. My hands have gotten too shaky and I always end up with my fingers burned to poop.

Gomisan, if your SD3 is like mine it uses the printrboard instead of the arduino kit the SD2 uses. That means the stepper drives are integrated, so they probably can't be replaced. Switching out to 1/32 microstepping means getting a whole new board, I think. Feel free to correct me on this one.

Confirmed. New Printrboard has drivers built-in. In order to upgrade, you will have to replace the board.

Adrian, have you found a good Aussie supplier for one of the upgraded stepper drivers?


I'm not Adrian but I stumbled across these when I was doing research  http://www.robotgear.com.au/Product.asp … Current-V2

Yeah, they look ok... cost wise, its about the same including shipping as Pololu... but would hopefully be 2-4 days vs the 10 or so you wait via USPS 1st Class...

I got mine via Pololu though, so can't offer any comments re specific local supplier for the 8825s
