*sorry for crossposting this but you have 2 forums that are almost identical lol* needs printer parts in abs, they need to be built well square flat and true. if parts arn't accurate i heard the printer won't be either so, yah, please know what your doing. i heard there's some nice folks here that will print the parts i just have to pay for the filament and shipping so, let me know.by The Borg - Job Shop: I need stuff made!

so something a little strange and i wanted to see if it is broke or normal. On a e3d v6, when you screw the heatblock/nossel/throat into the cold end, i assumed once screwed all the way in, that i would feel 'resistance' and it would stop. instead, it just keeps turning like its stripped out. So part of me thinks its broken, but then another part of me thinks, maybe its supposed to turn so itby The Borg - General
sorry but im still a little confused. i see numbers like 50 to 200mm/s listed. typically i see something arond 75-150 being the average people run at. but what i don't understand is the math to get those numbers to compare a belt and screw. it seems typically people are using 2 pitch 4 start screws these days which i guess means 8mm per revolution. and motors are 200 to 400 steps depending oby The Borg - General
im trying to find out how fast a lead screw will run compared to belt drive. i seen the calculators but all they show me are 'steps' how do i find my mm/s?by The Borg - General
my controller is a replicape with the tmc2100 drivers. i heard nemas are a little beefier motors and i was considering building a 3dprinter/cnc router so to make it a bit more useful for the cnc part i thought id future proof and go nema 23's. However my electronics understanding isn't the best, so i was hoping someone could help explain how i can tell if my board will run them, or blow up, ectby The Borg - Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, DC Motors
for some reason i thought there wasn't any customs duty from china, but now i read there is 'vat' and if it gets 'stored' for some reason i could end up with huge storage fee's............so now im not nearly as confident in ordering from aliexpress. i was trying to find something similar on amazon instead but all im seeing is plastic machines around the price i was looking at, and 1 metal oneby The Borg - General
is there a guide somewhere preferably with pictures or video showing how to build a more modern 3dprinter from scratch, basically so it looks like these machines ive mentioned but with high quality parts? like i said all the ones ive found on this website are built with hundreds of little rods and nuts and bolts it all just seems outdated. i guess one problem is it would most likely require a 3by The Borg - General
So new to 3d printing. Been trying my best to research but now i feel like im not gaining much ground at this point. Ive ran across that new prusa i3 mk2 and that looks pretty awesome, except the price tag. I then ran across the monoprice mini but realized it was 'too' mini for my taste. The larger model for $350 seems more reasonable Then i seen the tevo tarantula from china, and that seemsby The Borg - General
