Please be specific.

Thank You

Yes I am going to restart my DIY Home Brew Hictop 3DP11/12 Conversion to to a Simple CodeXY. The other day ordered a new controller and some Driver chips. as I am still using original controllers, Would like to upgrade to a 32bit controller.

Hey LePaul How are you!!!

I too took a 2 year break, everyone knows why,. Thank everyone took a similar break. as few were on the forums. And my printers, filament were in a drafty old garage, thought it appears all still works. I started back decided not to do a full maintenance just added a little lube and started printing...

Not bad for years old filament that was left in a plastic box in a non heated / cooled garage for almost 2 years.

I swear by this moisture eliminator I purchased at the local dollar store.

Thank you very much for you suggestions. I had another 3D Printer enthusiast suggest the link below and I decide on that design. https://www.printables.com/model/317026-improved-hictop-i3-x-belt-holder However I did not use the Tie Wrap in fact never noticed it until I came back to get the link for ...

Reduce load: A heavy load can increased vibration and noise Hi guys, can anyone help me with setting up the stepper motors? All I understand is that they bu...
