Re: Sore throat and cough? new printer? - 11 years ago
Why ask and then ignore the responses? I watched a sit movie yesterday, and now I have a cold too...by Cylindric - General

Re: Auto touch Z end-stop - 11 years ago
This is very interesting! Going to give this a go. Don't see any reason this wouldn't work on my MakerFarm i3. It's floating on a nut at the top now, so changing it to floating on a little platform at the bottom shouldn't make any difference.by Cylindric - General Mendel Topics
Re: Hi from Farnborough UK - 11 years ago
Hi there! It just so happens that there is a Surrey & Hampshire Hackspace that meets every Thursday in Farnborough. Check out our website (http://www.sh-hackspace.org.uk) or Google+ pages (http://groups.sh-hackspace.org.uk/) for more info. Lots of us currently into 3D printing, but also plenty of other hackery going on too. There are also often a few people hanging out on IRC in #sh-backspaceby Cylindric - General
Re: Why two motors on Z axis? - 12 years ago
QuoteEdvardasRicardo, but Z axis motors are not doing all that much work, no? They are turning just a little bit every time new layer needs to be done.I think if you have some auto-levelling magic going on too, that can make the Z-axis move a LOT more than just once per layer.by Cylindric - General Mendel Topics
Re: How to generate extruded 3D model from images - 12 years ago
I'm just getting my first printer in a couple of weeks, so deep-diving into this sort of stuff before it arrives. Very useful techniques in there for bridging the gap between procedural OpenSCAD and more organic parts. Thanks!by Cylindric - OpenSCAD

Re: Getting into 3D printing witha RepRapPro Mono Mendel - 12 years ago
Heh, nice. I've also seen some nice build-videos on YouTube that make it seem quite straightforward. Not exactly trivial, but " everything proceeded as planned", rather than "half the components needed filing, replacing, hacking"by Cylindric - General Mendel Topics

I've ordered a Prusa i3 now - the 8" one from MakerFarmby Cylindric - General Mendel Topics
Re: Getting into 3D printing witha RepRapPro Mono Mendel - 12 years ago
Based on some advice here and in IRC, I'm leaning towards one of these Prusa 8" i3's from MakerFarm now - Seems a bit more modern, and still allows for future expansion at some point. Price isn't as bad as I thought either - £420 ($700) delivered.by Cylindric - General Mendel Topics
Re: Getting into 3D printing witha RepRapPro Mono Mendel - 12 years ago
More than happy to self-assemble, I'm quite handy with that sort of thing. How do the i3 printers stack up when it comes to upgrading to dual-extruder at some point? That's something that seems quite straight forward with the Mendel. Finding a UK (or at least European) supplier would be good too, to keep the price down, and the delivery time. i3 seems pricier too. RepRapPro Huxley: £411 RepRaby Cylindric - General Mendel Topics
Getting into 3D printing witha RepRapPro Mono Mendel - 12 years ago
Greetings, makers. I've been looking at getting a 3D printer for some years, but have only recently got some spare funds to actually do something about it. I have initially been looking at the Makible Makibox A6 HT, as it seemed a fairly high-quality product for the price. Unfortunately I'm not sure how long it will take for one to actually arrive, as there seem to be quite some delays in manufby Cylindric - General Mendel Topics
Re: I'm new to here. How can I load an IDE for this source - 12 years ago
The source is just C++ and Perl. Fork it from GitHub and use whatever IDE you want.by Cylindric - Slic3r
