hi all! thanks for the suggestions. As I said - I dont want to print faster than the printer can move. but in case I added 6 more extruders then I need to know wheater I need a 32bit board or can I still use an Arduino - class board ? will the microcontroller keep up with so many step signals if all the motors used 32bit microstepping or 128bit microspepping? I will look at you answers in dby GeraldTrost - General
Hi All! I am looking for the formula for the maximum theoretical travel speed. Currently my settings are 160 both in X and in Y direction for the "steps per mm" value. I do NOT want to know what maximum speed my machine can possibly deal with - THIS IS AN ENTIRE DIFFERENT TOPIC. I want to know the maximum speed that Arduino or the PrintrBoard or the Teensylu can handle with its usual Processoby GeraldTrost - General
Suppose I had designed an electronic filament detector that gives a LOW signal or a HIGH signal (5 Volts or 3.3 Volts) in case the filament broke .... How would I make the Microprocessor on my printrboard (or teensylu or ramps or other) PAUSE AND REMEMBER THE CURRENT XYZ POSITION And how would I make the Microprocessor continue executing the Marlin Firmware FROM THIS XYZ POSITION ? (this shoby GeraldTrost - Firmware - Marlin
thanks for the link. can I do it with a Teensylu too or can it be done only with a RAMPS board?by GeraldTrost - CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping
Hi all! I know quite a bit about Reprap technics and about Arduino but I do not know some essential details ... I saw a video about building the Tronxy X3 on youtube and this guy mentioned that the Ramps board could be the better solution BECAUSE the RAMPS can be equipped with a grbl cnc shield just like it was a simple Arduino uno. I do not doubt what this guy said - I suppose I would have tby GeraldTrost - CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping
I have a Printrbot simple, a very precise 3d-printer. But I always get crap out of it. I tried Repetierhost with slic3r and I tried cura. And I tried EVEY possible settings. I found out that the problem is in the slicer software: - while cura builds a perfect support like honeycombs with very thin translucent walls - it is unable to buld my mechanical parts in good quality.
