Another scrap yard score! March 28, 2017 10:24PM |
This time it's 1" square t-slot, 11 pieces in varying lengths from 660-850 mm. A total weight of 13 lbs, all for $13!
Visit your local scrap yards!
As you can see, it's a little dirty- a few minutes in the sink with a scrub brush fixed that. There are a few screw holes here and there, and some scratches. It isn't new stuff. Now I just have to decide what to build with it...

I just forked out £16 on 2x300mm 3030 
the only listing on ebay...shoulda got the black ones from oozenest.
but unless I can figure out a printer made from old car parts I aint gonna find this stuff near me,
perhaps you have bigger n better scrappies.

So I got a three V8s to use on my soon-to-be 100m diameter Delta printer. I figure if I use the A4988 stepper drivers to run the spark plugs, and the direction setting to switch between 1st/reverse gear, I can get 1mm resolution. Where can I get 200400 extrusion? Should I use 256x microstepping?
lol

I reckon you could do a slow chunky linear motion system using wiper motors ratcheting along steering racks... 1 step per 25mm or something

and there it was hidden at the back of the yard

Now if you are going to use V8s for stepper motors you will need some decent extrusion. Here is some that I scored earlier:-
Keyboard is there for scale but also see standard paving blocks.
