Re: MakiBox 3D printer...

linear bearings turned up and reduce the stiction of the axis to nothing as in i can't feel any. So the back lash at the moment is pretty good.
My PID controller has just turned up so I'll need to make a new head holder thing to incorporate my new bearings and a new industrial grade thermo couple rather than the look at it the wrong way and it'll break type they send you.
I think I can now say without a shadow of a doubt if any one asks me should they spend £200 and get a Makibox I would tell them to stay well away from them.... just about everything on it needs re design to get it to work.. I'll learn all i can with this then use what bits I can to build my own one.
I'd need to do a bit of research in to what is the best bed material to use to get adhesion. I know some folk use glass and thus I was wondering if a glass door from an old oven would be a good un. I'd like to get away from variables like tape/spray and slurrry.
