How to made my CAD models? - 9 years ago
I've designing a new type of hotend but I don't have the equipment required to make it. I've looking for fablabs, makerspaces etc in my country (I'm from Spain) but I couldn't find one with the equipment required to metalworks (aluminium CNC machining etc). I've heard that there Chinese manufacturers on demand that can make any CAD model that you send. (Similar to PCB manufacturers on demand Iby Shockley - General
What knowledge do I need to designing hotends? - 9 years ago
I want to design hotends but I don't know how to start with the design. I suppose that I'm going to need knowledge about thermodynamics, material enginering etc. But, What knowledge do I need exactly?? Thanks.by Shockley - Developers

That part is printed in the worng direction, the reprap style drills have to get the plain part oriented to up instead of down.by Shockley - Developers

Great concept! I'm working on a similar concept. It's really interesting. I sent a PM to you.by Shockley - Developers
Nuevo tipo de hotend que he ideado - 9 years ago
Hola, vereis hace ya casi un mes se me ocurrió que se podía hacer un nuevo tipo de hotend para la impresión 3D por extrusión de plástico FDM/FFF ya que actualmente este tipo de impresión es bastante bastante lenta. Entonces tras darle unas cuantas vueltas llegué a la conclusión de que la solución estaba en usar una boquilla de extrusión longitudinal que extruyera el plástico y usar unas "agujas/by Shockley - RepRap en Español
Re: What Softwares are you Using? - 9 years ago
FreeCAD is having many improvements lately especially in FEM workbench so I think that is a good choice in short and mid term.by Shockley - 3D Design tools
Re: What Softwares are you Using? - 9 years ago
Quotemarkstephen FreeCAD, and the #1 reason... It runs on Linux! (and I will not ever give even one rusty penny to micro$oft) The other few solid molders that run on Linux have a UI that just flat out sucks rocks. For designing parts to be printed and all around work at home, I haven't found anything I cant do with FreeCAD. And you really can't beat the price. Yep is a good software for making 3by Shockley - 3D Design tools
