Okay maybe I will try it then. Is it correct as 1:2 on both x and z?by Kenzu - Developers
Would this work as Z=1:2, X=1:2 ? I'amnot good at this:-P Thanks Jesperby Kenzu - Developers

If you can wait, i promise you that I (my company) will release the printer as a kit edition / maker edition later on. It will be printed parts because it's gonna be an envolling thing. Everything is gonna be opensource and you will have access to electronics, firmware, software and openscad source files.

Quotefrankvdh Only available in Europe + USA, so that cuts me out immediately But even if it was available, I don't think I'd back this project: 1. I'd hoped that, as mentioned several times in the campaign statement, the simplicity of the bipolar design would result in a significantly cheaper price than a Cartesian or Delta printer. But at 300 Eur + shipping, this is a lot more expensive thanby Kenzu - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)
Quoterealthor Well, some more details would help people decide. There are a few things that i don't quite get and which had me raise an eyebrow when reading them on the kickstarter page: 1) "Success rate is significantly lowered when using non-proprietary PLA and the raft might not work properly." I don't have a problem printing non-proprietary PLA and I never use rafts. Is this such a problem tby Kenzu - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)
We are live... come and help us Thanksby Kenzu - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)
Quoterealthor Yes I was referring to the minimum resolution of the rotating arm. It is not even XY in the real sense but it's easy to express. That answered my question thank you. Why aren't you considering an indiegogo or kickstarter campaign? People are well educated now about them and I am sure it's worth considering. Thanks. October 22 we will launch a kickstarter, so help us out :-) Thanby Kenzu - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)
Quoterealthor One mor3 question if i may, what is the resolution on xy? Doesn"t the herringbone gear introduce backlash? Thanks. You cant say what the xy resolution is. I the middle is infinite but at the outer cirkel our gearing is giving us 60 micron. We dropped the planetarygear and now using a normal gear now. There will be backlash in time, but you can fix it with at simple screw.by Kenzu - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)
Just a small video update Quoterealthor How do you solve the printing issues at the centre of the baseplate? As far as I understand, that is the most problematic area in this type of printers. Also I was going to ask about straight lines, I hear they are too problematic with non-cartezian printers. I like your design but i am contemplating about a solution that gets rid of linear rods, linearby Kenzu - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)
Quoteappjaws1 Looks great, How do I get one? Still no date (for the open source, but the printer is going on sale around november/december 2015. I will release the source closed after that.), but the next beta is just finished, now I need to finish the new electronics. ps. sorry for the bad gimp work :-Pby Kenzu - Let's design something!

Quotedc42 QuoteFatFreddie Quotedc42 I also have prototype PCBs for a very small version of my differential IR sensor on the way. These are intended for Delta printers and contain just the sensor - no illumination, fan control, or hot end on indication. I'm possibly interested in one of these, do you have any drawings?

I think you need to look at teacup. It supports the Atmega 32u4 on the leonardo + it compiles for less than 32kb flash. Marlin and others don't fit in 32kb flash. Jesperby Kenzu - Firmware - experimental, borrowed, and future
I would like support for bipolar coordinate translation :-) But I think one of my friends (software man) and I will try to port it to teacup our self soon. We need to fit it on at atmega328 and we can't get marlin down in size for that. So Teacup could be the way to go for us tooo ;-) Jesperby Kenzu - Firmware - experimental, borrowed, and future
I have made some test a long time ago, but disasambled it all. Found that you need to support the bearings on both sides, so it stay completly level to the rod. Se my album for inspiration. Don't ask for stl or futher test, I don't have the time, but just wanted to share if someone could use it. Jesperby Kenzu - Mechanics
My first test was this printed upside down. I don't want to print support as 100% fill / normal object, but as support and support interface that KISSlicer make.by Kenzu - Printing
I will make some more test later today and take som pictures. Any good stl model for testing?by Kenzu - Printing
Hey Yesterday it made a print with PLA as support material for ABS. It's just a test to setup my support settings i KISSlicer, before i start to use my PVA support material for PLA. But to my surprise the PLA and ABS did not bond that well and I could break the support (PLA) of in one piece leaving no sign of PLA on the ABS part. (Black PLA on White ABS) Anyone else that have played with PLA andby Kenzu - Printing
Quotetmorris9 Kenzu, my question to you is does simply3d make proper hole sizes? This is a major (in my opinion) problem with other slicers. As far as cost, I would pay $140 for a proper slicer that does everything right. Many people here though build there own printers on tight budgets and may only have a few hundred dollars invested, I can see why they would balk at that price that's half thby Kenzu - Slic3r

I installed GRBL 0.9 dev as is has got PWM spindle control. 0.8 don't have pwm, that's why i looked at repetier. But think I will stick with GRBL for my laser as it's works. :-) But maybe I will try repetier on my old sanguinololu to control the laser with 4 axis later.by Kenzu - Repetier
