Re: Thicker filament supplier - 9 years ago
There is no way that will be economical, I am thinking about going bigger but to do that we really need a standard larger than 3mm. The problem is balancing the diameter and the minimum coil-able diameter.by jzatopa - General
Re: Thicker filament supplier - 9 years ago
Do you think that 5mm could be coiled up in a reasonable coil size (3-4')?by jzatopa - General

Marlin 1.0.3 + Rambo + Reprapdiscount smart LCD = no display - 9 years ago
I'm hoping the title explains the problem I am having. I am trying to upgrade from a working copy of Marlin RC2 to Marlin 1.0.3 and I am unable to get my reprapdiscount smart LCD display to work. This is not the full graphics unit. I have the right library installed, everything works with the old firmware. With the new firmware, all I get are white boxes. Is this a known bug or is there someby jzatopa - Firmware - mainstream and related support

Re: 5 axis desktop machine Kickstarter - 10 years ago
This is an awesome project and I wish you the best. From what I understand though the biggest limitation in 5-axis CNC machining is software and g-code creation. Your script may be free and open source but if you need Grasshopper and Rhino to use it you are really limiting your user base. Is there any way you could use the code from some FOSS slicers to create stand alone software to generateby jzatopa - General
Re: Flexidrive is Flex3Drive Early Birds - 10 years ago
Well I have had this extruder working great with 3mm and decided to try 1.75mm. The first print went fine. The second print had some problems with jamming. The filament is wrapping around the hobed bolt piece (I know it's not a bolt but I don't know what to call it). Is there a way to prevent this? If not I think that the design might need a few tweaks.by jzatopa - General
Re: Flexidrive is Flex3Drive Early Birds - 10 years ago
So I got it working last night. First print looks good, I will share more as I spend more time with it.by jzatopa - General
Re: Flexidrive is Flex3Drive Early Birds - 10 years ago
I received my flexidrive and just mounted it to my mm 1.5 today for testing and although I can get a good first layer I am having trouble after that. Before I go much further though I want to make sure I am using the correct settings. E-steps - 1800 E-Jerk - 5 accell - 3000 retract - 3000by jzatopa - General
Re: Smoothie ware - 10 years ago
I think there should be a new area on the forum but not under firmware. Smoothieboard, Smoothieware, Azteeg X5 mini and similar boards need their own hardware area. Firmware can be discussed there or in the firmware area. The fact is that this is a different style of board and the support it needs is different then a Ramps. I am not convinced that it is the next "evolution" but a step on theby jzatopa - General
Re: Has REPRAP come to a standstill? - 10 years ago
QuoteTraumflug QuotejzatopaOne thing that has died over the past 12 months is this forum. There have been quite a few posts about how to make this place better but not much has happened. I have found a lot of people have migrated towards google+ because of this. This place really needs an overhaul or at the least a new coat of paint. Two reasons for this: 1. People don't even try.

Re: Has REPRAP come to a standstill? - 10 years ago
I would say that there hasn't been any leaps in 3D printing yet. Everything is really an evolution of previous designs and technologies. I think some of nicholas.seward's work has really started pushing reprap forward with some of his designs. I would not be surprised if an all printable 3d printer comes from his work. Commercial home printing is still trying to reach parity with reprap, theyby jzatopa - General

Ggalisky, ignore the people on here who are just negative, kickstarter seems to bring them out of the woodwork. Some of these questions are very important though and should really be answered by yourself before you launch the kickstarter.

Re: Nema 17 - stronger motor alternative - 10 years ago
QuoteTraumflug QuotejzatopaThe voltage of your power supply has a big effect on stepper performance Sorry, but in this generalisation it's wrong. Having a higher voltage doesn't add a single percent of torque at low speeds. The only effect you have, is, you can maintain (constant) torque up to higher RPMs. Wether you ever reach these speeds depends on your motors and you printer gearing. My exby jzatopa - General
