Re: Help Drawing cross hatch or mesh - 12 years ago
Thanks every one for the ideas, and thanks GMH39 for the great example! We finally got it done in Solidworks using a honey cone pattern instead of squares and that ended up printing very nicly on the Cube. Thanks Alanby ajmartin - General

Any Idea where I could find someone I could PAY to make this simple file for me? Thanks! Alanby ajmartin - General

Great???? Well any one have an Idea of how I might make this type of design, It must be simple? Thanks, Alanby ajmartin - General
Re: Help Drawing cross hatch or mesh - 12 years ago
Im not sure, In the 3D Invent software I cant see any way to do this. Then in the Cube SW, that is where the slicer stuff is correct, There are no tools to manitulate the drawing. Alanby ajmartin - General
Help Drawing cross hatch or mesh - 12 years ago
Hello, If there ia a better place to ask this please point me there. I am using Cubify invent , trying to make a cross hatch pattern inside an irregular shapped oblong drawing. But just doing this in a rectangle would work as well, by cross hatch I mean intersecting lines with no material between them, like a net. I have taken the shape with out the cross hatch and extruded it to .030'' thick aby ajmartin - General
Re: Replace extruder with a Spray Valve - 12 years ago
Thanks, I want to do this in hardware, so for instance on the Cubify I see the the temperture sensor , I can break the circuit and measure the current when the Cube is happy and starts to print. From this I can figure out what value resistor I will need to use to replace the sensor. I want to intercept the stepper motor signals and decode that into a control that will tunn my valve on and off. Tby ajmartin - General
Re: Replace extruder with a Spray Valve - 12 years ago
Thanks for the reply, I will be spraying a "Gel" and I need XY and Z axis. So I was thinking I could just use a cheap 3D printer , replace the extruder with my valve , feed the machine an STL file and print it. We have a Cubify Cube here we would be OK converting but its a pretty "closed" machine. I would need to disable some sensors (heat, feed) and interoupt the "print signal" to send to my vaby ajmartin - General
Replace extruder with a Spray Valve - 12 years ago
Hello, I am looking for a pre built printer that is easily modifable. I want to replace the extruder with a Spray Valve that I will control with the signal that usualy controls the extruder. The spray will be room temperture so I also need to modify the printer to not look at extruder temperature or advancment. Is there any recomendation for a very well documented eaisly modifable printer thatby ajmartin - General
