QuoteSlackdaddy Are you mass producing the x carriage/extruder parts ? Slack Hello, actually it was a kind of R&D study regarding most common cartesian type. I'm actually developing a delta type and a coreXY type. We establish a company with my friend to produce 3D printers. 3D printer manufacturing will be my professional work soon so If someone interested in with this design we could prby toofunal - General
QuoteJamesK Looks great Tufan, you must be pleased with how that went together. Thanks again both for your comment and your valuable contribution.by toofunal - General
Hello again reprapers, I've built up my recent design, You may see it while it's working. Here is the video link. Regards..by toofunal - General
I've just tried the theory that I mentioned. It seems to be working. Ir led board generate logic 0 or logic 1 depending on turning idlers black or white regions. Is there anybody who can write and implant required codes to firmware? Ps: Logic may both be 0 or 1, filament may jam while IR receiver facing with white or black so algorithm should be something like that if there is no change for spby toofunal - General
Hello again, I've modified idler's arm due to JamesK's comments. Now I'm working for develop filament jamming detector. Regars. Tufan.by toofunal - General
Hi Mark, Despite it is against to reprap philosophy I agree with your philosophy. Thus why I modeled and planning to use lathed parts. With same thoughts I’m designing a delta type printer with parts with all cnc milled and lathed. But in my opinion there is a light year between your design and my design. Your design is way ahead robust and looks like professional rather than a maker hobby macby toofunal - General
Hi James, First of all thanks a lot for your comments. I don’t have a printer but I’ve assembled and run a Sigma Printer for a friend listed on the link below. (Which has dual smooth rod for z axis as your suggest ) Doubling smooth rod for z axis is also one of the points that I mused. But I gave up, It will be completely new design. I thought it will be easier to have a 3d printer to print pby toofunal - General
Hello all reprapers; I’ve been thinking building an all-steel Prusa about a while. I was thinking to do some modifications, especially for belts, I want to use pulleys for idlers and want to have spring tensioners. So I remodeled Prusa v2.5 according to laser cutting dwg. I’ve made some modifications for belt and z axis threaded rod. I have ability use a lathe machine and I felt free to use laby toofunal - General
Actually I've already used a sharpie to determine if bearing is rotating or not. It is useful for manuel eye check. I will try before sticker.by toofunal - General
Hello I was thinking printing barcode like sticker on to idle bearing that pushes filament to extruder gear and to use an ir led sensor or simple color sensor to check if idle bearing is rotating or not to monitoring filament jamming. I'm not sure if it works or not but I think I will try when first chance I get. Regards. Tufan.by toofunal - General
