I’m going to link my builds here in the hope that I keep organized and can point more easily to my builds when giving assistance to others.
[Planned builds]
Repeat V5 printer build (Just starting, late April 2024)
First post of topic.
Ordered some V1 parts today, starting to gather stuff up for my build.
LR3
Post RMRRF, decided it was about time to get off my butt and finally build me an LR3.
V1 Parts ordered today. Started printing plastic last night. First part pics this evening.
[Completed builds with ongoing activity]
JL1 Laser converted to run Jackpot controller/lightburn.
Starting a thread to document my work to put the Jackpot onto a JL1 laser.
This will be another typically slow build log for me. Hopefully less slow than my stalled before seriously underway repeat printer log.
Here’s the JL1 on my too small work surface I’m using at the moment:

That JL1 was a $75 purchase that our own @dkj4linux pointed out to us in these very forums. How cool of him to tip us off about really affordable hardware like that.
I use Lightburn to drive it from a wind…
FluidDial pendant
I’m creating a thread to document my build, this topic will be linked out from the FluidDial thread shown below.
[Repairs or troubleshooting]
I’m posting this information in the hope it might help other folks troubleshoot if they have similar issues.
I came into possession of a Jackpot board (newest revision, black PCB) that had a problem.
The symptom is that incoming power to the board was a dead short.
In setting about troubleshooting this board, I first carefully inspected for any solder splashes, or obvious routing/isolation errors in the PCB exposed outer plane. Board / VMOT power has a fair amount of run on this board, so th…
Troubleshooting a BTT TFT35 with connection issues.
This is a second post in a series where I’m working to troubleshoot and repair some damaged/suspect boards that have come into my possession.
I have a pair of BTT TFT35s that have an identical symptom. These power on OK, and can select Marlin mode and Touch mode. They work fine in Marlin mode, but do not work in Touch mode. Touch mode comes up fine and the GUI is repsomsive, but they throw an error that there is no printer connected. All settings are correct on both boards.
I have a known …
[Abandoned- builds]
Repeat V4 printer (abandoned to instead build a V5)
An initial post to start this topic, as promised.
The parts shipment from Ryan for the start of my Repeat build arrived today.
Parts were well packaged and promptly shipped- as expected. Off to a good start.
I started printing over the weekend, initially of the stepper mounts.
I started these on my Taz5, and am using a inland black PLA that is a first use of that particular filament for me. I’ve had a bit of struggle with these parts and I’ll post that below. I believe this is because the…

How do you find time for all these projects?! I’ve got quite a few in the hopper, but only time to work on one MAYBE two at a time.
This spans a couple of years, but they’re only my V1 related projects.
That’s my real problem- too little time for all of life’s other projects.
