Arduino Mega & A4988 Driver Module

Both my 3D Printers run with a dual Z in parallel now for 3 years with no problems. Do not like the ideal of twice the current though, if I designed the circuit would had wired them in series. I have been thinking about my MPCNC it used X & E0 for X and Y & E1 for Y to drive stepper motors. ...

Re: Noob with Cura - HELP

Your timing is OK, It has been getting crazier for everyone for finding time for all that has to be done.

This leaves us very little time for doing these things we want to do.

Re: Printer printing where it shouldn’t

Would be easier to answer your question with pictures to give us an ideal what we need to see. Normally when you have a hole that is being filled in, is because the outer shape was created as a solid. Post images and give more details, this would greatly help us in solving the design with a hole bei...

Re: will rubbing alcohol work for cleaning prints?

I purchased some it was the Green rubbing alcohol,, and no 50% alcohol will not work.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol.

For me on parts that fit I make a 0.2mm gap. I find the print is 0.2mm bigger so I get a good fit.
It saves all the sanding afterwards.
So if I have a hole that an 8mm steel pin has to go in I make the hole 8.2mm.
Good information for @RodB
