Quotedc42 There is nothing wrong with using printed parts in a 3D printer if they are used appropriately. The genuine Prusa i3 Mk3 uses lots of them. I completely agree with you, but in the case of the piper3d, there is no bracing of the printer (unlike the prusa which rely on a waterjet powder coated frame...) So the printed part are having a much more important structural role... I don't say iby Archiclem - General
I’m sorry, it's not what I meant… I just don’t want to use 3D printed part for the structure of the machine… I remember my restock mini printer, which was too flimsy… So I’m kind of reluctant to use such configuration… (+I really don’t like rods for the linear axis…) I just want a bit more expensive and reliable machine. I totally get why you made such an inexpensive 3D printer, and I think itby Archiclem - General
Hi everyone ! So I was wondering if there is a good open source belt printer around… I was looking for a rather simple design, but with aluminum extrusion and linear rail ? a bit like what the kossel did to delta printer… I’ve come across the piper infinity which looks interesting but a bit cheap… The printerbelt from brook drum looks very interesting but rather complex to build (it seemsby Archiclem - General
Thank you so much for your answer... I have seen your guide, as it's from 2016 I was wondering if there were something you would do differently nowadays ? I really don't know whats best between Maestro and regular duet 2 ? (in terms of connection with the smart effector / screen ?) I will probably go for your solution, but where do you buy the silicone heater ? ( I've never used ebay before...by Archiclem - Delta Machines
Hi everyone ! So let me introduce you to the project. It all started with a failure from my smoothieboard. I had a bad mosfet (always on, was powering the fan) for quite a long time... I already asked the smoothieboard team if it was a problem... And they said, no (except the fact it was always on). And one day (July, just before my vacations), it decided to explode. I was in the room nextby Archiclem - Delta Machines
QuoteMatthewHall Archiclem... I built a printer in the design style of a Cetus. Here's the link to the respective forum thread. While I didn't put all the belts inside the extrusions, this might help. If you have any questions just ask. Yes I know, I've built and printed some of the part you designed, but I really like the idea of belts running inside aluminum extrusions And I nailed it this Weby Archiclem - General
@Mechabits The 3030 could be the solution, but Cetus does it with 2020... I'm kind of jealous... So no one on this forum has a cetus to take a look at ? It's so sad that the price has gone up like that on those nice printer, otherwise I would have bought one just to see how it's made !by Archiclem - General
Quoteo_lampe Maybe this design of my 'compact carrier' helps understanding? It is designed for 'Bosch slot5' extrusions and works surprisingly well on my Delta. They are made of PETG, which allows me to tighten the belt without breaking the clamping part. @o_lampe To connect open belt together in a 'twisted' fashion, I simply CA-glued them. That's strong enough, but only works on straights.by Archiclem - General
@LoboCNC I know that a cantilevered design can be done the good way, It's going to be all metal connector, the main post being fixed on 6mm aluminium plate with countersunk screws... This is rock solid. I will do a thread once this is finished. @Etfrench (are you french ? cause I surely am...) It's the motedis I type extrusion from here They give an STP file... For the moment I havn't beeby Archiclem - General
I'm not sure to uderstand what you are saying, but i think their is a misunderstanding : I mean for me the problem is not the way you keep the belt inside the extrusion, it is how do you connect a belt in such a tiny space (inside the extrusion) to the mgn12 carriage... I cant believe this is achieved with a 3D printed piece... I've tried many design and the "clamping the belt" part is alwaysby Archiclem - General
Hi everyone ! I'm currently building a crane style printer (a cetus ripoff to be completly honest)... I know this is a flawed design (I mean cantilever... come on !) but I really like the compactness and minimalism of the overall machine... Anyway... I find quite amazing the fact that They are able to run the belt inside the extrusion and yet, connecting it to an MGN12 carriage... I've looby Archiclem - General

Really like the igus rails! Can't wait to see the final mount! How much does they cost?by Archiclem - Extruded Aluminum Frames

Can you use the maestro board with no endstop ? (using the stall detection like prusa do ?) I'm quite interested in this board ! I find the price/performance very good ! ( and about duet Wifi same question ? I really want to get rid of those endstops)by Archiclem - Duet
This is a really nice machine from what i understand from my rusty german ^^ I'm wondering why you choose fishing line over belt ?by Archiclem - Tantillus
Really interesting... What is the hotend you use (it seems really compact) ? And the second one is going to be bowden ?by Archiclem - CoreXY Machines
QuoteMKSA I don't understand why people use Bowden with all its potential problems on a single extruder/hotend XY machine. On a Delta where mass is important, yes, but here ???? And a Bowden geared extruder using printed gears is a non sense. I think it was explained here that the goal is to have 5 extruder or something... I am curious, where did you saw a bowden with printed gear ? And what wouby Archiclem - CoreXY Machines
I think if you are open To robotdigg products you should look for their extruder.... They have a bunch wich are not that pricy.... I cannot say about bulldog XL but titan is as reliable as bondtech for my requirement which are pla petg &tpu. I think that you could go for cheap titan ripoff (trianglelab ones have been reviewed on the forum by demondj) .... But it won't be supporting the greatby Archiclem - CoreXY Machines
I use a fliying extruder in a delta which is a bondtech bmg.... It works really well... They are indeed expensive but they always work! You could use this one it is recommended by the dice 3d printer which is a very fast tiny printer.... Anyway my experience with bowden : the longer the worse.... Except from they ultimaker, i've never liked bowden.... Good luckby Archiclem - CoreXY Machines
The prusa I3 does that, and given the reviews, you might wanna reconsider your view on auto-probing. I just do the bed distance (1 center point), not the whole grid leveling probing. Futhermore those mechanical endstops are not that precise to begin with. So with this technique, it compensate for it. because it starts the print as soon as it find the bed, without re-homing. In my opinion,by Archiclem - Delta Machines
I can confirm that, by putting around 800 € in a custom KOSSEL XL, it is pretty darn good (better than the ultimaker 2 I have at work)... I used the Smart effector from DUET ( really good stuff !) and haydn magnetic rods, and a smoothie (I'm french... like the smoothie, but in 2018 Duet is way better). I have a flying extruder (Bondtech BMG ) on my delta which prevent me from doing somethingby Archiclem - Delta Machines
I have a Flying Bondtech BMG and it works really, really, really well. I tried 3 extruder designs before that, (even one with a geared stepper motor for maximum pushing force) with like a 40-60 cm bowden, and I got so much problems... Either grinding trough the filament or not enough force to push it... With the combination of a flying + Bondtech BMG I have no problem at all. And the small dby Archiclem - Delta Machines
Hello everyone... I was wondering how to find a 24V silent fan (Like the nice Noctua ones that every 12V printer owner has !) The new Prusa i3 MK3 is 24V so I was thinking there is a way to get these marvellous fan... Or if anyone knows a design to use a blower fan for cooling the hotend ?

Hi everyone ! I'm using the ir probe for a year now, and my delta printer had gorgeous results : perfect first layers all the time. Yesterday, I changed my hot-end, so I rebuild the effector, and changed some firmware parameters... But now I'm having a very very strange result : The probe triggers way too high, about 5-6cm above the bed ! It makes the G32 calibration sequence impossible asby Archiclem - For Sale
