Re: Skanect and Nvidia ? - 9 years ago
Its highly advisable to have an nVidia card, but its not obligatory. You have can manage with an i5 or better CPU only, but the GPU acceleration helps a ton. A MacBook Pro with i5 manages about 8-12 FPS on High feedback quality, while a PC laptop with GPU acceleration manages about 16+ FPS, from what I've tested myself. Practice makes perfect ofcourse, and you can do just as well without it. Cby krakadu - Reprappers

Re: Ostensibly-named J-Head V6 - 9 years ago
Even the original E3D has PTFE tube inside. The question is where the tube stops. "All-metal" means the PTFE liner is only in the cold part of the hotend - no contact with the heater block, which enables for high temperature printing.by krakadu - General New Machines Topics
Re: Nylon Moisture - 9 years ago
Can you link those photos of the boiling plastic? I'm struggling with nylon moisture too and my nylon does something that fits the description, which I'm trying to eliminate. I've attached a picture of the plastic, extruded by hand through the hotend. This video shows the process: Video of manual extruson of moist nylonby krakadu - Printing
Re: New slicer software - 9 years ago
When using Linux as proof that open source is widely used, you're forgetting that it is a 20+year old project, while the 3D printing related software has just a couple or so behind its back. Open source is good and innovative, but it depends on the community and while that is small, development is slow.by krakadu - Reprappers
Re: Has anyone used 303 stainless for linear rods? - 9 years ago
I thought that 303 is one of the softer steel alloys.. but maybe its just the finish that matters.by krakadu - Reprappers
Re: Folger Tech Kossel Delta 2020 Full 3D Printer Kit w/Auto-Level - 9 years ago
Quotebluesmike Aside from Kapton what else could I use? Plain glass smeared with UHU glue stick works like a charm for me, when printing ABS. When printing PLA I print right on the glass. In both cases, a well leveled bed and good nozzle distance is needed.by krakadu - Delta Machines
Re: Two slic3r controlled fans - 9 years ago
These two are effectively a single fan. Just like the z-motors on a Prusa. I believe you should connect them in parallel to a single connector on the board so it controls both the same.by krakadu - Reprappers
Re: [Chinese Full Kit] Rp3d Prusa i3 - 9 years ago
Quoteishe7ata [Hey thanks for sharing your experience. I've read most of that post on the other forums you sent. I will see how it goes. I'm purchasing a kit by end of March. So you only paid 299$? Cuz that's really good value. I think I will ask them to swap the electronics with the RAMPS Did you make the purchase off the website or off the AliExpress.com offer? I purchased from the website, bby krakadu - Reprappers
Re: [Chinese Full Kit] Rp3d Prusa i3 - 9 years ago
I bought my printer from them in January 2014 and I was happy with what I got. I've also bought ABS plastic, their RAMPS full package and 2 all-metal extruders. I havent tried the metal extruders yet but everything else is working fine. I hear that for the past year they have upgraded the packaging quite a lot and your printer comes packed well and tight. The printers come with all needed tools tby krakadu - Reprappers
Re: Core XYZ? - 9 years ago
Isn't the Delta style basically a perfected CoreXYZ type? The CoreXY utilises 2 motors working simultaneously to cover a plane. Similarly Delta utilises 3 motors working simultaneously to cover a volume.by krakadu - CoreXY Machines

Re: Random not-thought-out Idea - Partial Bowden - 10 years ago
I've been considering a similar idea for a while. Will try to implement it in a RepStrap I'm designing. Will post rough sketch a bit later. EDIT: On the attacked sketch we see a simple schematic of the positions of the cold-end and hot-end - distanced of each other, connected with a bowden and a rigid rod. As the head moves in the horizontal plane, it moves the cold-end vertically on a fixed axiby krakadu - General

Direct drive slipping - 10 years ago
Hello, This is my first post here so ... Greetings everyone. A few months ago I bought a chinese kit for a modified Prusa i3 called Pangu from rp3d.com and it's been wokring pretty good until last week. I finally decided that it's time to tweak with the firmware and found a topic about my printer on the soliforum where a guy had uploaded a new version of marlin that he had modified to work withby krakadu - Reprappers
