History

2021-08-30: I re-created this page on my self-hosted web server.

2014-11-07: hotend - clogging - now there is a large amount of resistance when trying to feed filament (black ABS) through the hotend (manually turning the feed spindle) and very little plastic passes through.

2014-12-07: new extruder - we (Ketil, Jens and I) printed out the Frozen Extruder v1.1, after Jens adjusted the tightening, it seems to work fairly well. However, the main problem seems to be that after a while, heat creeps up in the hotend and it clogs. That makes filament feeding stop - the feeder wheel "eats" a groove, and your'e lost. Tested with PLA (doesn't work) and ABS on 230, 240 and 250 degrees centigrade. Doesn't help - ABS prints a while and then clogs.

2014-12-06: calibration - I leveled the bed again. Then I got filament feed problems - need to clean the tube again.

2014-12-06: testing again. Version:

nice.

2014-12-06: 3D printer weekend at Bitraf again. I'm replacing the Z endstop switch. First, take off the left cover, next loosen the metal rod that holds the bed and disconnect the bed. Next I removed the complete Z axis assembly from the left side. The endstop switch is secured with hot melt glue, which is easy to remove. Next I removed the defective switch and put in the new one. Made sure that the switch is snugly against the lower edge of the "pocket" it sits in. Replacing the Z axis took most of the time.

2014-05-08: the package from Makible (endstop switches) arrived in may mailbox.

2014-04-23: I ordered 3 x limit switch for Makibox A6 at USD 4.- each, total USD 12.- plus shipping USD 1.- from Makible.

2014-04-21: I finally remembered to take a picture and send to customer support.

2014-03-18: Customer support came back, and said that I could buy the endstop switch from them. They are asking for a picture to avoid misunderstanding.

2014-03-17: I sent a message to Makibox Customer support about the endstop switch; asking for a part number or a source.

2014-03-16: Z axis endstop failure: suddenly the plastic pin on the Z axis endstop microswitch didn't make contact with the "pin" on the Z axis carriage, it was slightly bent inwards. When I grabbed it and attemptetd to straighten it, it came loose. It was probably already broken.

2014-03-16: I have been having feed trouble intermittently today and yesterday. When It happens, stop (pause print), angle cut filament, take out old filament, thread new, restart print.

2014-03-16: slic3r - changed Lift Z from 0 mm to 0.3 mm.

2014-03-16: slic3r - changed retraction length from 4 mm to 3 mm and printed the simple flute again. Still a foreign column of plastic. When the print ends I get this:

o 29274 (executing M110)
-- Unknown code M110.

Not sure what M110 is. Ok, it is set current line number. Nothing to worry about.

2014-03-15: printed several "Simple Flute" models, but they didn't work. Two problems: the sharp edges of the flute have a "lip" of sorts, and a foreign (as in "this is not in the model) column of plastic near the sharp edge away from the mouth piece. Finally, I moved the model close to the X axis side of the bed and got a flute that worked, after removing the foreign column of plastic.

2014-03-15: firmware - updating PID parameters (see A6 tuning). First, print version:

>>>M115

done.

2013-12-08: printing - first test print. I choose the "Test cube - Black (ABS) v1.1.gcode" from the slic3r configs zip file. I had some trouble getting the first layer to sit on the print bed (this file runs hotend at 235 degrees Celsius, and the bed at 120 degrees Celsius), but after a couple of tries it took. The print took about 39 minutes, the end cube is a bit deformed, but still a print.

2013-12-08: tuning - the print bed. I set the temperature at 60 degrees (Celsius) and tuned the bed as good as I could. Next, I started a test print, and found out that the filament refuses to go down into the extruder. OK, something was blocking the end of the tube, some plastic. Fixed by inserting a bit of a filament from that end and repeatedly pushing it in and out until all the blocking stuff was loose. It works now.

2013-12-08: hardware - I found out why the wires from the heated bed tends to catch on the bed: in step 8 part C, the wires shall go through the small square hole at the top of the "wire shield" as it were. Dismantled and fixed that, I also found out that I had mistakenly connected the HE temperature connector to a connector labeled "fan" on the printrboard. Doh! Fixed that.

2013-12-08: pronterface - it uses skeinforge as default slicer, I need to install python-tk to get the gui to work:

tingo@kg-u35jc:~$ sudo apt-get install python-tk

or not. Perhaps it only does the cmd line version?

2013-12-08: pronterface - ok, "+Z" moves still moves the bed down (and "-Z" moves it up), but home Z works at least.

2013-12-08: hardware - after banging (sorry, "tapping") in the top of the Z axis, the carriage now hits the limit switch (endstop). Good.

2013-12-08: firmware - by sending the code M608 from pronterface, I can get the firmware version:

>>>M608

I wonder why the checksum is wrong?

M115 - show capabilities

Does this mean that this firmware has no capabilities? M119 - show endstopper state:

>>>M119

// x_min:L y_min:L z_min:L
// X_MAX_LENGTH:108 Y_MAX_LENGTH:149 Z_MAX_LENGTH:86
ok 6 Q64 (1ms execute)

Hmm, looks like something else to me. Let me home X and Y and try again:

>>>M119
SENDING:M119
go 11 (executing M119)
// x_min:H y_min:H z_min:L
// X_MAX_LENGTH:108 Y_MAX_LENGTH:149 Z_MAX_LENGTH:86
ok 11 Q64 (2ms execute)

Ok, so it does actually work.

2013-12-08: more testing - with the help of pronterface, I figured out that the Z axis carriage is not hitting the limit switch - the top part of the Z axis assembly must be closer to the side wall.

2013-12-08: more testing - pronterface. pronsole works:

Good. Now I only need to find out to invert the Z axis and fix settings.

2013-12-07: testing - I connected power, then powered it up. A single green LED on the Printrboard lights up. I connect the usb cable (micro-usb on the Printrboard) to my Xubuntu laptop, currently at Xubuntu 12.04.3 LTS, with this kernel:

2013-12-07: tuning - I tuned the X and Y drive blocks as show on the MakiBox site.

2013-12-07: building - day 4. redoing some parts. I realized that I had forgot to insert the lower rollers in step 4 (the part labeled "A" in the assembly manual), fixed by removing two screws from the bottom plate and gently prying it away from the back plate, then inserting the rollers. Afterwards, tap the two plates (gently) together again, and reinsert the two screws. I also took out the heated bed and tightened the springs all the way down (from step 7, based on advice from the forum). Finally, I took off the E motor, disassembled the plastic holder, and inserted the wires from the hotend into the provided place, the reassembled and remounted the E motor (from step 9). step 12 - adding the last two rods, the right side cover late and the front side cover plate. step 13 - mounting the power switch in the left side cover (managed to do it without cracking anything) then mounting the left side cover. Afterwards, the "tips" of plastic ends of the rods from the X axis are a bit to short to get a good fit in between the rods on the right side, but that is easily fixed by adjusting the end stop a bit out. step 14 - mounting the two small covers on the back of the printer. The wires are not organized behind the cover.

2013-12-06: building - day 3. step 7 - assembling the heated bed, the plastic zip ties are short, but with pliers I manage to close them. step 8 - mounting the heated bed on the Z axis, routing the wires out through the hole in the left side wall. step 9 - mounted the E motor. step 10 - mounting the hotend. I skipped the top cover for now. step 11 - connecting up all the cables.

2013-12-06: building - day 2. step 1 - found me some longer screws which allowed me to mount the Z motor on the plastic plate (the M3 x 8 mm screws only protrude about 1 mm through the hole). step 3 - I mounted the completed Z axis on the left side wall. when I came to step 4 I had to take off the Z axis a few times. When I finally got the bottom plate to sit properly, I found out that I had forgotten the power connector pcb, so I had to undo and redo again. I completed step 6 by tightening the screws on the "sliders".

2013-12-05: building. step 1 - ok, the M3 x 8 mm screws are too short to fasten the motor to the plastic plate. So I can't build the Z axis. step 2 - the M3 x 8 mm screw from the back plate into the side plate doesn't sit very well. step 3 - mounted the X axis, and the Y axis with the M3 x 8 mm screws (worked well here). Other than that, everything except mounting the z axis worked. step 4 - mounted the Printrboard, step 5 - assembled X and Y printhead carriages with rods and all. step 6 - mounted the horisontal rods on the X and Y axis, then mounted the carriages and the end pieces.

2013-12-05: unpacking. Nicely packaged, with manual (Component manual and assembly manual) at the top. After unpacking and checking the manuals, I found that there was no parts list included. Also, the manuals are mostly "step X" and drawings of the parts. Ok, let's see if I can get it to work. I downloaded the newest manual from makibox.com to, now it is time to check for major updates. Included with the kit was also one roll of filament: "0.5kg of ABS 1.75mm Filament, Assorted Color", mine is black.

2013-12-05: I picked up the package at my local PIB (RIMI Trondheimsveien) this afternoon. I had to pay NOK 533.- in value added tax ("merverdiavgift"). They base that on a value of USD 300.-, which they claim is NOK 2130.-. Interesting, that means an exchange rate of USD 1 = NOK 7.10 which is quite high. Oh well.

2013-11-29: I got a shipping notice, with tracking information.

2013-10-25: I got a "Your Maikbox is going to be made soon" mail, stating that my kit will be produced the first week of November 2013".

2013-06-26: I got an order confirmation from Makible.com. 1 x MakiBox A6 HT Clear, with Norway Express shipping.

Old history: 2012-03-31: I paid USD 350.- (NOK 2057.34 at Paypal current exchange rate) for a MakiBox A6 kit from Makible.com I got a confirmation mail the same day.
