So I wasn't charged on my order from the (now defunct?) RRRF store.Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15247030492098019765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291677262018398186.post-38247076503791536522009-09-30T14:51:39.221-07:002009-09-30T14:51:39.221-07:00Hi, you seem to be managing well with the trials o...Hi, you seem to be managing well with the trials of building your own system.<br /><br />How much import duty did you end up paying on the electronics from the USA?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291677262018398186.post-60213410402829288622009-09-29T21:15:59.178-07:002009-09-29T21:15:59.178-07:00The 16pF is white, 0.22uF is brown.The 16pF is white, 0.22uF is brown.Sam Wonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16883755486546997498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291677262018398186.post-55356533628713436962009-09-29T12:08:17.700-07:002009-09-29T12:08:17.700-07:00You should enough 100n caps left over from the one...You should enough 100n caps left over from the ones I sent. <br /><br />There is a 180R on the motherboard you could pinch, unless that is also missing. You could also leave it off as it will make no difference, see my replies in the forum to RS485 termination.<br /><br />You can probably tell 0.22uF and 16pF caps apart because of the extreme 1000000:1 change in value. I would expect the 0.22uF to be thicker. If they are identical then try shorting them and then connecting them across your meter on its highest resistance range. The 0.22uF should take long enough to charge up that you see a resistance that quickly rises to infinity. The 16pF will change so fast the meter will not react.nopheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12801535866788103677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291677262018398186.post-21684116207205239022009-09-29T10:22:25.766-07:002009-09-29T10:22:25.766-07:00No, I don't think it does.

(I have been assiduously careful to keep all capacitors in their labelled packets right up to use, and to check and double check I have the right packet, and to put the spares straight back into their packet before moving on.)<br />Thanks for the offer, but MakerBot are going to send me new parts, and I would have to wait for the resistors anyhow. So it's back to the mechanics whilst I wait the 3 weeks or so delivery from the States.Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15247030492098019765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291677262018398186.post-42134407634407429792009-09-29T09:35:28.283-07:002009-09-29T09:35:28.283-07:00Is there not a capacitance range on your multimete...Is there not a capacitance range on your multimeter? If not do you want to borrow one with one?nopheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12801535866788103677noreply@blogger.com
