I was having trouble securing the all-thread to the flexible coupling. I was going to use heat shrink tubing, but I didn't have 5/8" handy... just 3/4" which I thought would be too bulky when shrunk down. Also, I wanted something that I could be sure that the all-thread rod would be seated all the way down to the stepper motor. My brother-in-law came up with the pop can solution: 1. Get an empty pop can 2. Cut a strip with your exacto knife 3. Curl it like you would a length of ribbon (make sure you don't cut or poke yourself with a ragged edge) 4. Cut to desired length 5. Drop into place in the flexible coupling 6. Push the all-thread down into place and tighten Attached files
Thank you I'll be hooking up the power supply shortly... I'm trying to get a PC to watch the tutorials - my macbook pro is not liking the DVD's... Is anyone running the PhlatBOT from a mac?
Hotbed is wired and taped! The mirror that came with this broke in shipment, so I need to find a 200mm x 200mm piece of glass.... :think: Attached files
