... there could be some hurdles, finding the needed infos, as "GRR" is for "German RepRap" and totally different from RepRap, as they started their own proprietary eco-systemby VDX - Repetier
... bei mir gehts mitm Laser (bzw. diversen Lasern) jetzt erst richtig los! Nachdem ich in den letzten Jahren einiges an Laser-Anlagen und -Applikationen für die jeweiligen Firmen entwickelt hatte, bin ich wieder soweit, was im "Profi"-Bereich und im Rahmen meines Netzwerks zu reaktivieren - aktuell bin ich auf der Suche nach Partnern (Firmen, Institute oder Forschungsgruppen) für ein "Laser-Muby VDX - Allgemeines

... hehe ... um sie zu "motivieren" brauchts dann wohl etwas mehr Besorg dir einen Laserdiodengravierer, PVC-freie "Laser-Klebefolien" und laser ihr damit einen fancy "Tattoo-Aufkleber" fürs Handy ... geht auch mehrfarbig Die Freundin meines Jüngsten war z.B. über einen Stitch-Aufkleber (der aus "Lilo und Stitch") aufm Notebook-Deckel total happy *** EDIT *** -- damit gehen aber auch prby VDX - Allgemeines
... if it's lack of current, then a "stronger" PS will helpby VDX - Controllers
... could be, I'm even older!by VDX - General
... there should be several pins, marked with "+5" and "GND" -- connect a multimeter and look, if the 5V level drops, if printing starts ... most likely with unsufficient current from the PSby VDX - Controllers
... can you measure the +5V for the controller, if it breaks down?by VDX - Controllers
... yes, "elasticity" can be pretty helpfull in different ways -- have some types of bearings with a Nylon "shell", which drastically reduces wear and sound ...by VDX - Tech-Talk
... for me the laser-stuff was part hobby, part job - actually searching some company or institute for a "serious" methode around LIFT (Laser Induced Forward Transfer) for laser-micro/nano-3D-printing with any available material on every possible surface or 3D-structure. Beside there are some different lasers-types ... and much other related stuffby VDX - CoreXY Machines
... i'm actually mainly focussed on lasers (and some nanotech), so pretty seldom with FDM-printing. But busy too, assembling/building a "metal FDM" with metal wires, melted/fused by lasers, melting only the contact pointby VDX - CoreXY Machines
... the last months I'll get around 4-5 "new users" per week, asking for clearance (sometimes up to 3 per day) ... but no initial posts or other activityby VDX - CoreXY Machines
... there still are some "hardcore" DIYers -- but only in "local" circles, where the (most chinese) copycats won't findby VDX - CoreXY Machines

Hi Fridi, willkommen zurück! Mit deinen Zugangsdaten hast du etwas Glück - normal lösche ich die "Forumsleichen" nach 3-4 Jahren ohne Aktivität ... hab' mich letztens aber etwas zurückgehaltenby VDX - Allgemeines
... ich hatte das mit der Oberflächenreinigung mal mit einem 20W-Galvo-Faserlaser probiert - das ging auch mit Kunststoff. Wegen der geringen Leistung entsprechend langsamer - hier ein Video davon:by VDX - Laser-Ecke

... maybe a scetch? There are sseveral designs with 4 or more motors. For "faster an better" eventually a "better" motor? (eg. more torque, speed, accuracy, ...)by VDX - General
... in the early years of RepRap we were thinking about 2mm or 3mm filament diameter, what's better or more effective ... and the "industry standard" was even 4mm!! - I had some years to ask companies, fabricating 4mm-filaments for plastic welding machines, if they could make some 3mm tooby VDX - General
... check the patent date, if it's still valid. Adrian started 2006 with the FDM-projekt, because the basic patent was from 25 years agoby VDX - General
... most likely a spammer, preparing the baseby VDX - Tech-Talk
... not dead, but dying -- you can still buy 3mm, but as most are buying 1.75mm-printers and the "DIY"-ers vanishes mostly for age, you'll get what the mass wantby VDX - General
... can you post some images or sketches of your setup and the problematic parts?by VDX - Mechanics
... as I've stumbled over this Thread from 28 years ago, here some maybe interesting "update" Some of the ideas and concepts, mentioned here, were developed for R&D-projects in/for my day-jobs. Actually I'm starting another R&D for "laser-multimaterial-micro/nano-3D-pronting" with a sort of laser-thermotransfer approach, where I'm transferring super thin sheets of all sorts of materialby VDX - Mechanics
... there are several if not many similar or slightly different mechanics known, so a single patent shouldn't block it completely ... look into "parallel kinematics". For example, look into the first attached image here:by VDX - Developers
... or you attach an encoder to the axis or dc motor shaft and use a STEP/DIR-Servo-driver ... but it's much pricier, than steppers ...by VDX - Mechanics
... hmmm ... I don't think, he'll read the answer after two months without reactions -- but hope the best ...by VDX - Delta Machines
... if the thermistors have different specs, then you'll need a different temperature table too ... AFAIK the specs even of the same types can differ by something like 5% or 10%.by VDX - General
... hmmm ... some of my (12V) LED-stripes have already internal current regulation, so simply connecting to a 12V PS would be enough. Others (mostly RGB-types) have either 4 pins for the "colors" and GND or 2 pins for the current and one for the selection or serial data. Do you have a link to your specific type or the data sheet?by VDX - Firmware - Marlin
