Re: Solidoodle 3 bed heats up, but doesn't move.

Don't buy the steppers separately. They come with the board. Get the DRV8825 version.

There is info on the forums but if you have specific questions either post here or feel free to shoot me a PM. I've set it up successfully on my machine.

I hope you have confirmed the driver is indeed busted. It would suck to go through all the effort and still not have a working machine. But the RUMBA will improve your printing life and quality big time big_smile

You will also need a better PSU. I recommend the 12v 360w supernight, it's on Amazon. "Need" is a strong word, but you'll have a much better time with a PSU that offers two separate +12V rails (outputs) and the Supernight is a champ. It'll also save you if you make a mistake in wiring--it's saved my board a couple times. But the rumba is tough. I challenge you to break it.

Seems like every third post of mine nowadays is "get the rumba!!" tongue

+1 on the RUMBA...that will be my next board when the time comes.

And I don't think ANYONE ever busted one (or two)... smile

EDIT:  Jagowilson, can you post the link of where you ordered yours?  The RRD price is north of $160.00...

That's about right. It's not a cheap board. I got it from RRD. and there is one person here who has broken one twice  wink I shan't call them out tongue
