PM them to me Please

This is a remake of my re-design
I have posted the information Here

More on this subject below
Fan Duct

I have not ideal where I got the heat-sink fins

Found some here you could cut to make half round

Thank You> LePaul Problem I have already purchased the 3D Touch, I somehow got it confused with the BL Touch. Thought I had purchased the BL Touch, As this is one of the problems with searches on E-Bay, They allow other similar merchandise to enter into your search results. It is OK though! I will m...

Today the 3D Touch showed up, quickly opened to take a quick look see what my money had purchased. It looks pretty good, came with packaged like a Cadillac mounting a pair of screws four 3 pin, two 2 pin housings and pins plus male pins for extending the wire harnesses. It was at this time I decided...

Ordered a single unit will test to see if my pins are correct. Using my MPCNC with an Arduino Mega and Ramps 1.6

I am glad you are back to printing using Marlin 1.1.9BF. You made a few changes to 1.1.9BF post them for me would like to keep records for the next Hictop 3D Printer user that needs help. Note: I had several different version of Arduino IDE on my computer until my window 10 auto update crashed me. N...

Over my 3D Printer ownership have been changing lines in pins_RAMPS.h Some I believe are still necessary though other can be moved to Configuration.h this set of lines for example #ifndef MOSFET_D_PIN #define MOSFET_D_PIN -1 #endif changing them to enable E1 or Fan1 PIN could stay in pins_RAMPS.h #i...

I also checked the voltage from the 12v output from the psu. 9.5 is what it says while the printer is running. You measured the Voltage on the Power Supply terminals at 9.5 volts. Power Supply.jpg Your power supply should look like the above photo. On the Left there is a voltage adjustment, have yo...

Throats, nozzles, and heat blocks yes. My job requires stickers on my phone cameras so I'll get you some picks tonight since it's my Friday. Just changed all 3 because I was getting clogs for the first time. Turns out my retraction was set to high in cura. I need to make my own profiles. The ender ...

Sounds Good,

Lets get a game plan.
Do you have any of these consumables for your Hictop 3D Printer.
Throats, Nozzles, Heaters, heat blocks and Thermisters

1. Do you think this printer is worth throwing a couple hundred dollars at? 2. psu voltage drops to 8.5-9v when heating and during print 3. Z lead screws have a wobble at the top 4. I don't think the extruder has enough tension anymore 5. after switching out old bed bearings and adding tensioner to...
