I actually planned to have the 5 in 1 out diamond nozzle as my 3rd printer, but it's only for mixing color with filaments at the same temperature. The Kraken only interest me since it can extrude 4 different material at different temperature, I would probably play around with insane material combination, (for example nylon infill for strength, the shell is some exotic filament with PVA or HIPS asby Shizen - Reprappers
I'm interested in using the Kraken; however, it must be a nightmare to get the bed right. I think the best way is to level the bed so that's perfectly parallel to the X axis, then use a sensor like BLTouch to get the height right. I'm just not sure how to achieve the perfectly parallel bed tho.by Shizen - Reprappers
Well, I have no idea how much difference moving to home each time would make. I have aware of oozing each time moving to home as I mentioned in my topic. Like I said before, I'm just proposing a new concept, I haven't tested it myself so I have no idea how efficient, effective or practical it may be. You can't tell if it's a problem until you try it yourself (I can't do it yet since I don't knoby Shizen - General
Fyi, I have owned a 3D printer for a year or so, I know how loose belt result skiped step or not enough current on the stepper motor result in motor moves to the nearest step, or too high jerk results in quick changes in movement, I know all the problem. This is just a concept to make 3D printers a bit easier to use, perhaps exchange the speed for reliability so that it can be more consumer frieby Shizen - General
I think this is a simple way to check for missing step, no need for closed looped stepper motors. Perhaps a small program that reads the G-code, looks for when Z increased, then inserts "G28 X Y ;". This will allow the printer to move correctly every time, even after a missed step. However, I'm not sure if the stepper motor can keep up with the transition. Maybe it needs G1 code with X Y coordiby Shizen - General
Thank you for the suggestion Btw, do you know if NanoDLP supports Grbl for mainboard and allow shifting resin container after each layer?by Shizen - Reprappers
So I just got a Dell 2400MP (a DLP projector) from my friend since he doesn't need it. Since I think it'll be fun to make a DLP-based SLA printer, I snatch it right away. I already have a design in mind, all the material seem to cost around 300$. Just that there are a few thing I'm not sure, so please help me clarify. First, I think a RAMPS 1.4 board is a bit overkill since I only need 2 motors,by Shizen - Reprappers
