Sewing needles are cheap and work. They also common in many different sizes. However, they can rust over time. Graphite is a good idea. I will have to see if I can find something that will not break during auto homing. The electrode also acts as a probe.by JMAPsci - General
I wanted to share a project I have been working on for a few months. What I have developed allows for any 3D printer to be able to engrave and machine nearly any conductive metal using electrochemistry.by JMAPsci - General
here is my problem. My printer can print ABS fine, when I load my PLA in it extruders for about 30 seconds then jams in the hotend. I think the PLA is melting too early in the barrel. Any thoughts?by JMAPsci - Printing

What kit would would you recomend to me?by JMAPsci - Delta Machines
I posted a thread a few weeks ago asking about a delta printer kit and based on the recomendation I have decided to keep looking. I need a new delta 3d printer for my projects and I have a buget of under 500 dollars. I would like to have a heated bed and a biuld space of at least 170mm. Any tips? I found this printer on Ebay what do you think of it? Does any one have this printer?by JMAPsci - Delta Machines
I am on a buget and I am replacing my 3d printer. This kit seems ok to me but I have never used a delta printer. Before I had a standard XYZ style. So do you think this is a ok kit?by JMAPsci - Delta Machines
