Nice work! The cable chain you printed is an awesome upgrade. Thank you for taking the time to post this.
Almost every upgrade you mention i used on my R1. It made my printer so much better! Thank you for sharing
Good video.
I've seen quite a few of your videos and will be implementing a lot of your mods to the Robo 3D R1 Plus printer I recently purchased.
Keep up the good work man!
I'm thinking of getting a RoBo R1 for printing figures. You just convinced me with your up grades to make this dive. Great work!
Dude, you are the awesomesauce, thanks for compiling these, the spool it came with is shockingly bad, and one of the wires needs to be adjusted or it'll just sit on the heated bed! That being said, I do love my Robo something fierce.
Definitely inspired me to purchase this printer. Very awesome video!
Good job, Your printer looks so much cooler than mine with all that customization.
+koolbeenzbro Thanks! You should see what it looks like now. I should be making a updated version of this video soon.
Do you have a video of it? I'm working on making an enclosure for the printer. Do you know how I can get my Robo 3D R1 Plus to be more accurate? Also when it prints circles they come out as a polygon vs a true circle do you get the same thing? I'm not sure if its software or printer issue. I like the production in your videos btw keep it up!
Amazing video! You Definitely tricked out your Robo! I will use some of these upgrades to mine when it arrives.
Great job, like your glasses
Thx for a fine informative video. I may buy one of these guys. Did the flexible cable guide come with the machine or did you make or buy it? Also, where are you located?
wow that is superb upgrade
Ok where did you get those eye glass frames? Thats awesome bro!!!
I really like the upgrades that you've done to your Robo3d, I also have a Robo3d R1, and a E3D hot end, however i'm nervous as hell to install the E3D hot end because they said we need to drill holes and stuff, if possible is there anyway I can contact you through email or something?
Awesome video, I got a robo 3d r1 with auto leveling and want to do the top led strip mod, I got the Logisys 12" 18 LED Super Bright Sunlight Stick White which i assume is sticky taped to top but where do I connect the cord for power. I hear you say yellow to blue and black to grey? To the board or some other part?
Good stuff! Thanks for posting!
Are you planning to upgrade to leadscrews, a video of that would be great.
Great video! Thanks for the great content. You have some very helpful tips!
Love all your videos........ but I've been hunting for the files for those other Z stabilizers you're using where you have the base stuck to the main Robo body, but can remove the part that attaches to the Z without removing the whole thing....... do you have a link to that model somewhere ? the link you have in your description isn't the ones you're using. Thanks again for your great videos....... awesome.
So sorry, making video on replies now. here a link to my dropbox www.dropbox.com/s/hmdbrs829p6qyyj/Stabilizers.zip?dl=0
Do you sell the parts of the upgrade you did I need them or can u please teach me ?
How many chain lengths did you use ? Looks like you got it perfect.
Great Video Thanks
Hey so I have a robo r1+ and I have been trying to print flexible filament but it won’t pull it through. You said the guide tube helps with that. Have you made a video on installing that? If not that would make for a really good video.
flexibles have been my demise, if I find a reliable solution I'll let everyone know
just bought the robo 3d R1 I'm trying to edit the chain-link design you put on thingiverse. can you tell me which program you used because everything I try is not working. I'm trying to remove one of the brackets so I don't have to remove my wires to put it on. can you help
Returning my Robo 3d today, first print was okay (a couple of z axis holders, even though the opening was way too small for the rod and they were essentially unusable), after that it was nothing but one horrible print after another. Went to different forums and watched numerous videos trying to tune the thing, but it just got worse with each print. I like what you've done with yours, I just wish that I could have got mine to work.
Well, I have some time before Amazon said I have to actually do the return. Right now my biggest issue is that the extruder is not working. It's not that it isn't heating up (it is), it's that the gears are not turning to extrude. I can turn them by hand, but when printing they do not work, and when a command to extrude is sent from the software it doesn't work.
I can turn it by hand, it just doesn't extrude in a print or when the extrude button is pressed in the software.
arcanum70 Your set temps must be set to at least 195 or higher for the stepper motor to engage. This is a fail safe built into the firmware. I recommend at least 200 to allow for temp drop.
arcanum70 RoBo3D support is always available to help you get your printer running great. We now have a 24/7 hotline you can call. You can also schedule a 1 on 1 Skype call with a RoBo3D Tech. Every printer comes with a 6 month warranty and we will replace any parts that need it within that time.
RoBo 3D Actually, I just exchanged it. And I know for a fact that (if anyone reading this is curious) that you guys are awesome when it comes to part replacement. Really enjoying the printer. Still far from being anything close to an expert. Trying to find a slicing program that I like, and that works well with the printer, but, I'm getting there and enjoying the ride.
If I could get a old used R1 for under $100, is the printer still a better buy than what you can get today new for under $200?
Let me first say i like your videos. lots of info. thanks for that. being you upgraded a lot to your printer. did you upgrade the firmware to it as well? what version are you using? i'm asking because i just bought a Robo 3D printer from a seller ( bad experience) seller (llfila9 aka Ben Delgado) be warned.... Seller claimed it only need new stepper motors but it really needed everything, i mean everything i even had to fix the casing. anyway long story short i replaced everything even the wiring. now its time for me to upload Robo 3D firmware to the arduino to run it. just need to know what version i should use to upload to the arduino? the printer is the newer model with the rod support on top of case but has the limit switch on z axis rail for x axis and not on carriage like your newer one. any help you can give would be great.
Thankz Chaz
+Robo netix Sorry about that, TH-cam didn't display you comment till now. If you still need help with the firmware lmk, I love playing with the Marlin firmware :)
Hey Novice, I am trying to find the z stabilizers that you show in this video but the link you posted are for ones that use screws. Can you please post the link to the ones that you show?
+ThePaco7269 Of course, the author changed the model. But I have his old one. (this is a link to my dropbox, so it may disappear eventually) --> www.dropbox.com/sh/tu6sqizuircvchz/AAD5rYwrx00tu5L8-GPyHA2sa?dl=0 it is the zip folder named stabilizers.zip
robo3d and novice expert even with the stabilizers my motors seem to spin giving me bad prints also would motor oil be ok to use for sqweeky rods
wobble
does google sketch up files work on this?
Hi Novice, Can you share what software program you use to build the the parts before printing ?
Novice Expert Thank You
the z axis stabillizer listed is not the one from the video?? do you have the corrected on to list.
The one in the link was updated by the designer. I remodeled it for you: www.dropbox.com/s/v5m2d9787zzbcvg/Stabilizers.zip?dl=0
I'm skirmish about moding. Thanks
HI nOVICE / EXPERT
how can i remove my extruder on robo3d r1 plus mine looks a bit diff. there is a fan on the side the screws that are supposed to release the extruder . should i remove this fan first ?
+Paul Robb th-cam.com/video/sZM6MIuPorQ/w-d-xo.html at about 0:55 shows how to take that apart. That was a stock being upgraded
please help me install my e3d v6 onto my new robo r1 anyone
great job on the videos novice expert id love to see you post more
Can you please share the link to your Z stage stabilizers. They one you provide requires a screw to secure. The ones you show in the video have a dovetail type connection that make it very easy to remove the lid :)
stantok Sure, it may be temporary but here's a link to the one in my dropbox:www.dropbox.com/sh/jy98ql4favlz78v/AAA96VKGvkd1N1pVZ-hjKZQda?dl=0
+Novice Expert Hi i really like your Z rod stabilizer is it possible to get that file or a link to the file? i just picked up a used R1 and need to do a bunch of upgrades but i need to print parts to do so and i really need a stabilizer and really like yours. And also i really like your videos they have helped me out a lot so thanks
+robert jacobson much like before, may be a temporary link. Here you go: www.dropbox.com/s/rz468vqgzcczbbj/Stabilizer.zip?dl=0&preview=Stabilizer.zip
How do you install the E3d v6 Extruder on the Robo3d r1 Plus? I need your help . Thanks :)
Wish I could help more, but I don't own a R1+ I was looking around the forum for a R1+ tutorial, but couldn't find anything there either. However there is some mention of how to remove the plate to the extruder in this thread: community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/e3d-v6-information-installation-guides-and-review.3407/
Novice Expert Thanks Ill probably just keep the extruder i have and not upgrade it.
"he can fit them on there (Real) easy". anyone else smile a bit there?
Hey NE,
I am having an issue with my printer, was wondering if you can give me some pointers.
I am new to the whole 3D printing, bought robo R1 as an impulse. when I print small stuff, it's fine. but when I print something with about > 2-- layers, my hot end actually just knocks the print off the bed.
another question I had was, do the new R1s still need Z stablizers? it seems like mine has two holes at the top of the plastic casing that holds the Z axis in place.
Novice Expert
At this time I'VE tried everything but the glue stick. i.e. hair spray, masking tape, K tape (even tho I am currently using PLA). I tried one of them calibration cube, and the print had all sorts of things wrong with it. it's not even, lines are not straight. and it once again got knocked off after about 23~25 mm mark.
This was when I was using blue masking tape.
bed temp at 65
hot end at 200
printing PLA
using Cura
using canola oil.
Novice Expert Question, I just got the e3d. and lot of people are saying I shouldn't use bowden, because you cant use soft filaments. what do you think about this. also what's the difference between bowden and PTFE tube?
have you experienced any issues from the printed belt? Has it stretched any?
Frank Ribitch It had kinks in it, but never lost it's accuracy, I switched back to the regular one. I keep the printer one around just in case.
+Novice Expert What was your reason for switching back to stock belt? I was thinking about printing one up but if there is a reason why I shouldn't , I wont. May still be a good stand by just in case
I'll stick with my complete in box FlashForge Finder. Volume is small and no heated bed tho.
+Mickice Looked it up, looks like a superb printer. I'm sure you could figure out how to add a heated bed to it, owners of 3D printer are inherently innovative.
Indeed we are, the machine is a box frame but I've already placed weights on the black bass to prevent vibrations and added rubber band to the wing nuts that level the bed so it doesn't shift over print. The best feature is it'll pause a print when out of filament.
im not able to fit my e3d hotend on my robo r1 please help anybody
What is the tubing that you are using to bypass the bearing in the extruder?
Peter Sharma PTFE Tubing, I cut it later on. So now it is below the bearing.
Awesome thanks! Have you printed much with exotic filament outside of polyflex?
Peter Sharma Nylon as well. Still want to get ColorFabb XT, Woodlay, T-Glase, and Carbon fiber. But until I get money that will have to wait.
Hey man, I've been doing some serious research and I think I want to buy the R1. I just had a few questions/concerns that I really hope you could spare some time to answer.
1) Are you pleased with you purchase? I just REALLY don't want to waste 700 dollars.
2) How necessary would you say those upgrades are for the printer? I would definitely be using the printer a lot and I would most certainly want the best results, it's just I'm not usually a DIY kind of person.
3) Do you have any videos showing exactly how you set all of that stuff up? Specifically the writing things. It all looks so complicated, but given how well yours seems to work and how pleased you are with it, I would want to make mine as close to yours as possible.
Thanks
The head that the new r1's come with...are they already able to print with other materials such as ninja flex and wood? Or would I have to upgrade it?
Novice Expert Brison Chu As for printing with Flexible filament you can do an easy modification with a small 22mm ptfe tube between the hobbed bolt and the entry to the hot end to prevent it from curling up. The other option is to get a 3mm all metal hex hot end and use 3mm Ninja flex since it's not delicate as the 1.75mm. Wood filament works well by with the default setup.
+novice expert I have a robo r1 and am getting warping along half way of my prints any help will be great
+Oldskool1427 Glue is NOT easy to clean up. It took 4 times of windex and then wiping and scraping for me to clean the glue off. I started recently using hair spray. You barley even need to clean it.
Can you do a tutorial on setting up the printer to use flexible material..
Thanks
lele gricc On it.
+Novice Expert Now that... That just earned you a subscriber.
+Beepis Thanks!
+lele gricc When I went to go make a video on flexibles I ended up running into problems when I was making the video. haha, I made a temporary solution but I am working on a more permanent one now. th-cam.com/video/5JpEYnegdDM/w-d-xo.html
I'm looking at buy the E3DV6.... should i get the 12V or the 24V? besides the voltage whats the difference?.....do you have a video on how to install it?
Delroy Pearson Some printers like my buddy's flash forge have 24v power supplies. We have 12v power supplies in our printers. I can make one, but it may just be a dis/re-assembly video of the one I have on there.
Thank you very much......................keep up the great work
What slicer are you using? can i copy and paste your start and end gcode into my cura slicer?
Awesome, we use the same slicer. You can copy and paste it. This is the most recent revision of the Gcode (always making tiny adjustments).

Did you design all of the parts for it or did you find the files somewhere?
Timothy Plant Designed fan ducts, everything else was found. All links in description.
+Novice Expert you redesigned the z stabilizers didn't you
Nah those were the original ones before the creator redesigned them.
Novice Expert mind reuploading the stl, (remember to use the same license (CC-BY-NC-SA)
+Gordon Freeman I can redesign the .stl but I don't know if I have the original files.
i need some help please . I was going to update the firmware with some of the changes you suggested and now I keep getting this error when i try to compile how can i fix this ? please help
thank chuck

+just me Sorry for the long response, but that problem is usually caused by the library being absent from the library folder. Go here: github.com/olikraus/u8glib.git and download the library and place it in the library folder of your computer.
Thanks for posting all these videos. As a newbie to 3D printing, you have made getting up to speed a breeze. Also, I was not a fan of the spool holders shown in this video so I edited them. The improved design locks the holder in place (I learned the hard way that this was necessary after a large spool came loose and crashed down on my glass). The new design also adjusts the angle at which the spool gets drawn (so it is a smoother pull). Anywho, check it out (www.thingiverse.com/thing:1148533) and let me know what you think. Cheers!
i cant get the links to print. it fails on the bridge every time
Nathan Horning Fails? how so, stops printing or the bridge is drooping?
Ya it droops down to the point it isn't connecting.
It's the top bridge point on the link when it tries to print the "bridge" it just collapses
Oh, If that the case just generate support material.
