Miguel Valenzuela Hello germs will fight. When you say it goes to far, I assume you mean that it homes itself to the corner.
Check that the small switch is actually triggered near the spindle on the gantry or the base when it reaches the end. If there are problems, it usually has to do with the gantry riding too high and not triggering the switch.

Miguel Valenzuela Are you referring to the gantry? The big thing that goes over the griddle that looks like it is the attack vehicle in Tron? If this is the case, the belt may be loose and you can rectify this by unscrewing the screw that holds in the belt, and attach it again a bit tighter. Remove the tension spring before you do this and then re-apply the tension spring.

Thomas_U Hi Miguel,
glad to finally read something from you.
One big question: When are you going to answer all the other support questions on this forum that have been unanswered for months and years?
I have not started to use my PB as there are so many unanswered technical requests and I don´t want to damage it.
kind regards
Thomas_U

Miguel Valenzuela I'm not sure exactly what you are asking so I'll make a few guesses to avoid back and forth.
1. The PancakeBot reads '.GCODE' files, or files with the extension '.GCODE'. I have attached a spiral print for you to test (it prints three spirals out). Just copy the .GCODE file onto your SD card, then navigate to the file, and press play.
2. To create your own images, you need the Pancake Painter Software available at github.com/pancakebot.
This software allows you to read '.PBP' files. These files hold more information than the '.GCODE' files and allow you to change the drawing. When you are done with drawing or importing let's say, a logo, you can then export it to a '.GCODE' file that then is transferred to the SD card and printed. Before it is exported, there are settings that allow you to change the dispensing pattern as well as the fill and such.
But to be clear, you can't load a picture to your bot, you have to load it into the software, hand trace or auto trace it, then export it to the SD card and print from the SD card.

Miguel Valenzuela Hi Steve, the PancakeBot reads .GCODE Files. The .PBP files are for Pancake Painter, the software to create the drawings. Check out the quickstart video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ACYhJzCfaM

Miguel Valenzuela Hi Mike!
Yes, the PancakeBot would make a great tool for your catering business! Please note though, that the current version of PancakeBot is created for household use only so you will have to check with your local jurisdiction and health and safety board to ensure it can be used in that capacity.
Please contact support@storebound.com for order information regarding Canada.
Thank you!

Miguel Valenzuela Hi Chanab, Thank you for your excitement. Currently the PancakeBots are approved for HouseHold use only and so you will have to check with your local health and safety ordinances to see if this would be allowed. Please keep up to date regarding what we will be doing in the future with PancakeBot.

Can anyone please tell me how to convert so I can print some more of these awesome designs.

Miguel Valenzuela The PBP files are native to the PancakePainter software and include different information than the GCode Files.
1. Open the PBP file in Pancake Painter
2. Select "Export for printing" located under the File Drop Down Menu.
3. Create a name for the file.
4. Got through the selection process and choose how you output your file. -
David Bourne On my Mac I had to use the mv command in Terminal to remove the .txt bit.
mv EasterBunny.pbp.txt EasterBunny.pbp
I took out the spaces too. The Finder didn't seem to remove the .txt. Strange. -
David Bourne Good question. The mPancakePainter program doesn't want to open .pbp files

Miguel Valenzuela This seems to be an issue with the maximize and minimize selection on the short cut.

Bernard Haddad Interesting while I am wondering if this is a good investment! yes, I found quickly that there is no undo or erase! Also I found that we can import an image but then we have to draw the lines and that is not simple with a mouse. It would be better if we could import .stl files as in any 3D printing machine.
