The USB on my crappy chinese arduino mega running my delta quit working. so I de-soldered the ch340. Then I went to work (circuit board factory) and grabbed a cp2102 off the shelf, and used individual wire strands to bodge it together. It worksby teslalab2 - Look what I made!
mmmmkay, I'm gonna need a 4th axis so I can rotate the board. I should be able to use an extruder axis, but the problem is how do I home it, I did find this, but the reviews didn't look too promisingby teslalab2 - General New Machines Topics
alright thanks!by teslalab2 - General New Machines Topics
Sorry I didn't specify, I meant the modified pronterface, that looks very nice btw!by teslalab2 - General New Machines Topics
Is there gonna be software released?by teslalab2 - General New Machines Topics
My boss hired me too create a CNC conformal coating machine for coating circuit boards. It will basically just be a 3d printer with a sprayer instead of an extruder. I was thinking of just using a ramps board, but there are two problems. The first one being I want to just have a button that you can press to start the program (every time you load a new board in it will need to be started again).

Hey all! I work at a small circuit board production shop, and I was thinking of when things slow down in the near future I would mass produce some powerlolu drivers. Is there a market for this things? If not I wont bother.by teslalab2 - Job Shop: I make stuff!
Sorry I didn't update this sooner. I get the herp derp award of the year. what happened is: I set it to home to minimum and then inverted the motors so that it moves the direction you would expect. effectively making the theoretical printer shape as shown below. By simply assigning the max endstops to the min endstop pin It solved the problem. Thank you for the help. All of the diagonal rods andby teslalab2 - Delta Machines
I am just jog-ing the axis in pronterface. If I change the delta radius it makes the printer head move the incorrect distance, the effect it has on the parabola is negligible. I'll try using G1 tommorrow. EDIT: ok, It still moves in the parbola shape if I use G1. Maybe I got osmthing messed up in the firmware, should I switch to repetier?by teslalab2 - Delta Machines
On my scaled up delta printer I am working on no matter how much I change the delta radius I cant get the printer to move linearly. I have disabled all min and max limits, I've tried with or without. I have spent a whole day just tinkering with things, and in vein. with all the variables set at what they are measured at, it moves the correct distance, but with a really extreme concave parabola. Iby teslalab2 - Delta Machines
Ok. thanks for all the adviceby teslalab2 - Reprappers
I'm thinking of putting together a Rostock Delta 3d printer, but I want to be able to print something larger than 8 inches. Would I be able to safely scale up the dimensions of the printer? Thanksby teslalab2 - Reprappers
