I just took my shiny new Ordbot Hadron for a test drive, so I thought I would share!

Here are the first prints. One is a Ramps adapter and the other is a Power supply cover plate. Both were drawn using sketch up.

For a first print that is very good.
I have got an Ordbot Hadron. Did you buy yours fully assembled or as a kit ?
I struggled for ages with a QU-BD extruder before abandoning it and going for a jhead and Wade extruder.

Thanks,

I bought the platform kit from Automation technologies.

I just finished building a Prusa Mendel I2 a few weeks ago and I bought the same extruder and electronics for the Hadron. All I had to do was flash the firmware, align, calibrate and level the bed. I got all the bugs out of the system on the I2. The extruder is a greg's/wades with a j-head.Sorry you had to deal with the QU-BD extruder, that must have been beyond frustrating. Fortunately I heard the horror stories about it before I bought one.

So far I really like the hadron, for one thing it is a lot easier to level the bed!

It also runs much quieter.
