I just realized a polar printer would allow you to have a built-in 3D scanner! just mount the lasers on the X carriage, place the part on your rotating platform, then scan awayby filipbys - Polar Machines, SCARA, Robot Arms
@KeithCI If weight is all you need, then you can simply add a couple internal holes and fill them with some of those irksome spare pennies. They're about 2.5 times denser than ABS!by filipbys - General
Congrats! I love this idea. The advantage of a polar printer is also that the X carriage can be half as big as the ones in the traditional cartesian system. Have you considered using slip-rings to power a heated bed?by filipbys - Polar Machines, SCARA, Robot Arms
Ah cool, I'll try that. @TheJollyGrimReeper Did you know you can simply use a hull of 8 spheres for your rounded cube (the last 8 spheres in your module)? Less efficient but also fewer lines of code...by filipbys - General
The first layer extrusion width is always going to be different than what the slicer calculates because you can never know the exact distance of nozzle to print bed. For me this means that all of my holes end up being too small at the bottom layer, even if they are correct on all the other layers. So as a solution to this I was wondering if it's possible to automatically chamfer all the edges tby filipbys - General
Have you tried using the two screws that hold the buddaschnozzle to the extruder? I'm pretty sure you could fit a ring of LEDs around the top of the nozzle and between the nozzle and fan Another alternative would be to use the screws that are at the bottom of the quick-release extruder-holder (looks like a stretched out V). That would allow you to go just under the fan.by filipbys - General
