Thanks Julian and guys.
I have always for past 7 years been a Geetech fan, bought my first Prusa clone I3 some 6 years ago and another 4 years ago.?
never failed me, except for a few bits and pieces, which fortunately are available almost over the border from me in Germany, Geetechs have a hub there.
Built a few electronic Arduino upgrades to control fan speeds, but the original Sanguinolou control board is still working Ok,?
thank goodness as they re now impossible to find or even purchase.
With a bit of good fortune, I sold one of my printers and have a Geeetech Mizar S. The extra 25% of bed volume of 255 mm x 255 mm x 260 mm compared to the i3 suits me and?
this machine fits nicely into my very cramped workshop.
From the original Geeetech clone Prusa to the Mizar S, is again like chalk and cheese. Automatic bed levelling is so easy and the magnetic bed plate
means no more hair spray and first level adhesion problems. Early days yet, but as you say I am a happy camper.
I recently read an article from All3DP that Bambu are doing a printer recall, what is the real facts do you know.?
Attached a couple of photos of toys I produced for my neighbours kids Xmas gifts.
Sylvester and of course Tweety pie
Working on the Fractural vice currently see photo and seems to be going very well. All the above items mentioned were all download STL files from Prusa pintables.
I normally design my own parts and print. But the toys land vice look and work so well, so cheating on the odd STL downloads can?t go amiss.
The photo of the Fractural vice, not complete as I am waiting on more 3 mm cap head screws, they have to various but specific lengths and you need a zillion of them. But all 3D printing done is done .
Cheers for now

Hi Ron,
Yes very happy.? It was the combo that I bought.
The AMS saves a lot of messing about and stores the filament in a nice dry atmosphere.
Just a shame it won't handle TPU.

I built a mendal i2 circa 10 years ago when hobby printing was in its infancy and its served me well, but compared to what modern printers can produce it's chalk and cheese.? That said I think a few upgrades on the old printer will have it back to producing respectable results.? I used a VERY early version of Cura with the old printer, but I reckon a large part of the quality these days comes from the slicer.? The Bambu slicer (supposed to be a spin off of Prusa slicer) is by no means perfect but level of fine tuning available is truly mind blowing.? There is a spin off of BB slicer called Orca that may people swear by but I struggle to see much difference between the two ... perhaps I haven't dived deep enough into both yet.

What were the problems you were having with the Creality printer?

Are you happy with the Bambu Carbon x1 so far? I am looking to purchase the combo before my next back surgery next month so I have something to do during recovery. I will never buy another Creality product ever again.

Nice bit of modeling there, John.? Bet they took a while to print with those big flat areas.

Just treated myself to a Bambu x1 carbon.? Boy is it fast, you often can't see the print head move, it's just a blur.? There are two speed levels faster than the standard speed but I haven't dared try them yet!
Very nice printer if you are looking to upgrade.

Attached is a STL of the top part 2 parts of the circular table box.
Showing the typical wood makers male and female tenon approach.
I originally designed and printed the 4 parts? (STL only shows 2 parts) with the base?
not completely closed, This i did not like, as it allowed dust and dirt to get in, so I printed 4 inserts 4 mm thick and glued them in.
Now the circular table is fully protected unless we are flooded out. LOL
Hope of interest, again any questions please ask.

For anybody who has a 3D slicer program, I have attached a STL file of the jigsaw puzzle technique of connecting parts together in 3D printing
This example is a irregular shaped lid for a 150 mm dia milling circular table box.
The box was 200 mmm deep.
If you slicer programme is able to move the 4 parts individually then you will see that they all join up precisely.
The 4 parts were designed to become a "snap fit" together with a small amount of super glue on the straight edges.
My 3D printer has a max table of print area of 190 mm x 190 mm.
Hope of interest, any questions then please ask.
Please see photos in the file section.
Thanks

Can't see the file, John.? It's listed but doesn't show a file size.

Added to the FILES section a 3D printed box that holds my milling machine circular 150 mm dia table.
The handwheel is bolted through the centre hole for ease of loading and lifting the table out of the box.
from the photos you can zoon in and should see the methods of attaching the various parts together using the old technique of
tenon and jig saw male female approach. As my 3d printer has a max print of 190 mm x 190 mm, the box measures in?
the extremes 270 mm x 220 mm.

Welcome to new members.
We have at least 20 people joined this group within the last 5 months and NO posts as yet.
Hopefully there should? be something to discuss with hobbyist in this forum and please share or how can this group of members help.
The? digitalhobbyist protocol is it is necessary for the first post from a new member to be moderated, after that?
normally any on topic posts will be allowed through the system.
Best regards and a good New year.

Leslie,
Re your question, the I2C pins on the ATMega 2560 are pins 20 and 21. These are already used in the RELS to read the pulses from the encoder and are not available for communication with an I2C display. If the pins were available, the sketch would need to be changed to accommodate the different communications method.

Hi John thank you and Charlie for help. It turns out that the keypad was configured with the onboard SMD resistors and wired for? analogue inputs? ?which Charlie suggested earlier. I scraped off the SMD resistors and wired each switch directly.

My lathe has metric leadscrews and all RELS menus work OK, I mention this as I read? you were concerned this mix of Metric/Imperial was maybe the cause of your non operative problems.

I would like to clarify this point. What John says is completely accurate; you can mix metric and Imperial threading pitches. But you CANNOT mix metric and Imperial feed rates, As it states in the RELS_data_VX.XX.xls file, "Instruction" tab, row 24: "Only one Feed table is allowed in the TablesV4.h file!" The same is true for Version 5.
