15:09 Fixing the High Pitch noise on the Z axis by RoboSavvy, on Flickr
The first tests revealed a High pitch noise on the Z axis. This is fixed by regulating the potentiometers on the Stepper Motor Controller board.
Regulate too much voltage on the REF potentiometer and motor overheats; regulate too little and you get a high pitch noise.

This was the plastic chosen by the customer. It was also the first time we assembled and used an MK6 Stepstruder with 1.75mm plastic.

Our first print was this part from Thingiverse www.thingiverse.com/thing:8704

17:37 A 3D printed Add-on to improve your machine by RoboSavvy, on Flickr
Our 3D printed part from Thingiverse (and also our first print). This is probably the first thing we recommend you print and assemble once you finish assembling your machine. It prevents the plexiglass from cracking around the anchor point of the timing belt.
