There’s a computer there, just not like the ones we are used to. It’s interpreting gcode, exercising the printer and updating the display. Have fun!
The mac can unzip the files with no problem on a Mac, but you may need to format the usb drive with a FAT file structure before moving the files over. You use the Disk Utility to do this.
I un=zipped the file the GW posted but it's not in G code. it a photo, do you know how to convert it to G code?
Just got it! printing now.
Happened or happens?

Printers are different depending on age and features, but I think yours will give you a filament out warning and stop the print and move the print head to a corner and allow you to add another roll......mine then gives me to choices, purge or continue. Purge means it presses filament through the nozzle for a bit....then asks Purge or continue again. Purge again if the filament is not a solid stream, or continue and the print head will return to where it stopped and the print continues.
this is so easy! who drew these parts?If you happen to be close at hand and watch a roll come to the end, while the tail end comes out of the spool and starts to feed into the filament checker, you might be ablye to hand feed filament into it, pressing against the tail and the sensor may ignor it until it is grabed by the feed wheels....but you got to have the new against the old and hold there until it grabs.
If you miss then it stops and you do the purge continue thing. One guy did that with different colors and the result a red white and blue collator!
If you're talking about my parts, I'm to blame.....done on DesignSpark Mechanical. For collator bases, caliber plates, downtubes, Lee App quick change parts and feeder dies, TylerR is the source, here:
oooh man, I can print the 200mm collator on this printer then? or should I return this and get a bigger 300mm printer?If you're talking about my parts, I'm to blame.....done on DesignSpark Mechanical.

Any of his posts has "downloads" at the bottom....click that then click the green button to download all the files in one place on your computer.
With your 220 bed choose a collator and caliber plates that fit.......not 300 and not Mongo....those take a 300mm and 350mm bed respectively.
Also the download includes a manual.....read that....all of it.
LOL!! Thanks but no. I work with computing alll day, every day. This hobby is my escape from the world of technology.
what’s RTFM?LOL!! Thanks but no. I work with computing alll day, every day. This hobby is my escape from the world of technology.
I know, I can’t escape their irony of using a computer to escape computers but, that’s our modern world.
One piece of advice: RTFM!!!!! Twice!
I had guessed as much.

LOL!!! Well, as the Competitive Shooters say, “It’s better than yet another bear load thread.”

Download the manual and expand it on your computer monitor till you can read it.

I want to make a simple powder check die
Remember this picture? It has a 300 on the left...TylerR's basic in the middle...and AmmoMikes little one on the right. But Ammo Mikes files are hard to find nowdays..... With yours you can print the basic size, and/or Ammo Mike's size.
