LulzBot can get one to you overnight if you want one fast. Or just UPS Ground, for a reasonable cost. lulzbot.com. It works best with 3mm filament.by jebba - Wanted

Re: Lead Screws and Smooth Rods- best bang for buck? - 12 years ago
We are using M6 threaded rods for the Z on the TK-0 now. This is "final". It is nice too, because they aren't very expensive. Josef Prusa pushes for these (M5s, at least) and here is a nice doc explaining more about the ACME vs. metric issue: The fancy Misumi smooth rods are overkill, but we wanted them spec'd within a certain tolerance, and most smooth rods are not.

Re: LulzBot TK0 - 12 years ago
@ foshon: we went to Misumi LM10UU linear bearings for a bit, but found them really noisy. The pillow block bushings in 10mm size are quite huge. In the end, we have settled on something in the middle: the self-lubricating Igus bushings, the same as on the AO-100/AO-101, but in an LM10UU form factor. @kakaroto: We don't have a dual head designed for it.

Re: Make this forum and RepRap.org faster, You can help! - 12 years ago
Who are the various admins of the new site? How will they be contacted? Why is OpenBSD being chosen? That greatly limits the number of potential admins. Debian or similar is widely known, but far fewer people know OpenBSD. It limits the pool of admins without many benefits, afaict.by jebba - General
Re: LulzBot TK0 - 13 years ago
The goal of the TK-0 is to eventually make it *less* expensive than the AO-100/AO-101 series, but we're not there yet. It does take half as much time to assemble, so that is a big plus in terms of my build cost. I have been doing some experiments with dual color recently too (on AO-100):by jebba - General

Re: Hotend Shipping Costs from US - 13 years ago
We (LulzBot of the Budaschnozzle) have one pallet of products currently on the ocean heading to Europe. We have a bunch of printers in customs in the UK. When they get there, our shipping costs to the EU will be much lower, since it just has to go from London. We have plans for a shipping center in Canada and Hong Kong, but that will likely be around Q1 2013. FYI. -Jeffby jebba - General

For a bit of history: The Licensing Compliance Officer from FSF contacted me about an earlier project I had worked on. I think it was Linux-Libre, but this is many months ago, so I forget which. I showed him what I was working on now (LulzBot) and he said, "that would make a great candidate for FSF certification!" (or somesuch). We've been working on it with them since Aptril or so.

Re: 3D Printer, which one is the best? - 13 years ago
Check out our AO-100. It is fully assembled and calibrated. It comes with 15 pounds of filament and a wide variety of tools. If you want to get a printer and be printing within an hour, this is the way to go. I can ship you 50+ overnight, should you desire--these are ready to go TODAY. The build quality is excellent done under strict factory conditions (see factory floor here: ). Have fun, -by jebba - General
Re: LulzBot TK0 - 13 years ago
johnoly99, we are using GT2. bobc, you are correct. Though with 300mm XY it has lots of room to get up to speed (wrt acceleration). That said, I'll see if we can get some better more exhaustive numbers about the machine. I have this noted in our TK-0 TODO list, thanks. -Jeffby jebba - General
Re: LulzBot TK0 - 13 years ago
Traumflug, can you test this Zipper.gcode on your machine? I'd be curious about the results. I haven't checked your Wolfstrap yet. The bed size in the test may be too large though. It runs at 800mm/sec travel in the test. Basically, it can run at 800mm/sec banging back and forth for days. I'm not talking about skips at 40mm/sec, that is no problem. I'm talking no skips at very high speeds. Thaby jebba - General
Re: LulzBot TK0 - 13 years ago
Thank you all! I'm glad the design has met with such enthusiasm. Many different options were considered for linear motion, and many were tested. Run this file on your bots (danger! It may destroy them!) if you want to see what kind of stress tests the linear motion systems went through: Realize that Zipper.gcode *runs for days* beating the hell out of the machine.

We just received our X3 today. We haven't run it yet, but it looks very nice. The heatbed is especially good and heavy. Packaging was good. Some soldering required for the motor connectors. It has one plug for Z (unlike RAMPS 2).

Re: Is This An Authentic Arduino? - 13 years ago
Not only is it unethical to the community to sell counterfeit parts, it is illegal just about everywhere. For a little history: months ago (a year or more now?), we were shipped Arduino "clones" from an upstream vendor, but when we got them, they still had the Arduino logo/trademark on them. They weren't sold to us as genuine, but they still had the Arduino name on them and at a glance looked liby jebba - RAMPS Electronics
Re: Budaschnozzle + Wade's = Kinky? - 13 years ago
We have printed hundreds if not thousands of parts in PLA (Ultimachine's) and don't use a fan. If you are using a fan, your temp is probably too high. Make sure you are using thermistor #7 in your firmware so you are getting the correct temp readings.by jebba - Reprappers
Re: Could someone tell me the simple thing I'm doing wrong with this PLA print? - 13 years ago
Judging from your first photo, the problem is that it is too hot doing the "towers" you have there. That is why slic3r has the "Cooling" tab. If you print one small part where the nozzle basically never leaves a spot for very long, the layer doesn't cool enough before the next layer is put down. This is true regardless of which hot end you are using. To get around this there are at least three thby jebba - Printing
