Quotenicholas.seward The only thing that I have heard that is even remotely valid is that it is advantageous to pick layer heights that are multiples of a full step. You better believe you can do that with imperial or metric screws. This was specifically what I'm talking about. I'm using 1/4"-16 lead screws. 1/16in = 1.5875mm per rotation. So 200 steps = 1.5876mm. So 0.0079375mm per full step.by cratos - Polar Machines, SCARA, Robot Arms
Of course, I too have seen it printing. Though, I am anxious to get some of my questions answered about the bed movement being more/less consistent than rods, and how accurate Wally will be able to print. There has been a lot of talk lately about how using the wrong lead screws (imperial) will cause small layer misalignments because of rounding errors. I wonder if Wally will have those same typesby cratos - Polar Machines, SCARA, Robot Arms
Is Wally usable at this point? I thought the kinematics were not finished? If he is, how does he perform compared to a good cartesian bot? - How is layer alignment (in the Z axis)? I find that layer alignment makes a massive difference in terms of perceived quality. Is the bed movement more consistent since it's just a pivot and no rods? Or does the math mean there is rounding error? - How is thby cratos - Polar Machines, SCARA, Robot Arms

Hey jeff. Is there a way to see all the people that have joined or followed that G+ page? Edit: Also, how do you make a *new* post on the G+ page. Seems all I can do is comment on existing posts...by cratos - Massachusetts, Boston RepRap User Group
Nice to meet you all. It was much harder to keep track of everyone's names (in person and on here). In case you guys have the same problem, My name is Dan and I had one of the MendelMax printers. My name is dmeehl on thingiverse.by cratos - Massachusetts, Boston RepRap User Group
Hey everyone. I have not been following this forum for a couple of months. Glad to hear about the meetup. I have a fully working MendelMax which I can bring. @Larry_Pfeffer I'd like to see one of those boards and learn more about why we need them vs the 8bit boards. @Julia-MOS-Boston I'd be interested in hearing what you have in mind and possibly doing a presentation for you. I know you said Fby cratos - Massachusetts, Boston RepRap User Group
I am close. I do not have a printer yet though.by cratos - Massachusetts, Boston RepRap User Group
I do not have a printer yet but I am planning to build either a prusa2 or mendelmax. I am currently trying to decide between the two but the mendelmax plastic doesnt seem like it's available at the moment. I would be interested in meeting up.by cratos - Massachusetts, Boston RepRap User Group
