Here you can find a proposed mounting setup for the stepper motors that flips them around and allows you to add something to the stepper motor spindle.
Also is a new variation of the pen mount and backplate (dxf file included).
The pen mount acts much like a drill chuck and tightens around the pen. The pen is actually lifted from the board instead of just the plate being raised.

Let me know if you print it out. I don’t have a 3D printer at this time so I can’t test it. 🙁

Oh. That would have been good to know! 🙂
I appreciate the update!

Woo Hoo! Got it uploaded.
What did I do?
I uninstalled Arduino completely and cleared out all the libraries and sketches and started from scratch.
I copied only the firmware_rumba folder into the library and opened up the firmware_rumba.ino file and compiled it and it worked.
So I tried to repeat the problem and find out where I went wrong.
It seems that by having both the firmware_ams and firmware_rumba folders in the library are causing the problem.

The instructions on the site say: (http://learn.marginallyclever.com/index.php/Makelangelo_Firmware)

Get the code
The lesson (program) for your circuit board is on Github. Grab a copy here by clicking “Clone to desktop” or “Download ZIP”.

Copy the AFMotorDrawbot folder (./firmware_ams/AFMotorDrawbot) and all it’s contents to the Arduino libraries.

On Windows the files go in the Arduino software/libraries/.
On OSX the library goes in /Documents/Arduino/libraries/.

So my first step was to copy the AFMotorDrawbot folder into the libaries per the instructions.

So then I went down to the M3 Instructions and copied the Rumba files into the folder.

So I would recommend the following changes to the site:

Get the code
The lesson (program) for your circuit board is on Github. Grab a copy here by clicking “Clone to desktop” or “Download ZIP”.

For the M2 & M2.5
Copy the AFMotorDrawbot folder (./firmware_ams/AFMotorDrawbot) and all it’s contents to the Arduino libraries.

For the M3
Copy the Rumba Firmware folder (./firmware_rumba) and all it’s contents to the Arduino Libraries folder.

*Do not copy both firmware_ams and firmware_rumba into the same folder. Doing this may cause a multiple definition error.

The folders for the libraries are located here for the respective OS.

On Windows the files go in the Arduino software/libraries/.
On OSX the library goes in /Documents/Arduino/libraries/.

Hope that helps!

It’s set to “MEGO 2560 or MEGA ADK.”
to test the communication I uploaded the basic blink example and it works fine (at least stopped the motors from turning). 😀

I’ve tried everything, clearing my library, reloading the libraries, all that jazz.
Still get the same error.
