Closest thing I can find, but imagine that gantry goes up and down as well. This is of course about 3-5 times larger then the printer I'm making but same basic design concept.by RPearce - General
We are men here, carpe diem will work instead of Yolo, anyways I know what it should look like and that's all that matters, we will start buying parts soon. I am going to get the beds and heaters done first. Then work on gantry units. Still trying to figure out the trolley system for the gantry. Making a system that rolls smoothly on a 1/4 face and keeps level is a bit of a challenge. Good thingby RPearce - General
All I wanted was for someone who knows what's in a prusa and other repraps to build a parts list. And if people know where to get good deals on parts. Oh well, I'll just build it all my self and hope I get all the parts the first time.by RPearce - General
ok so its a full sheet of aluminium, we are waiting for price on the sheet, get that tomorrow, but a company i work with in town, because i am a currier and bring them all there steel, said they would do all the work to the metal for $250 CAD he said aluminium shouldn't be that much. ill post pictures of the frame once i have it built. |_____| | | <--- rough picture of the machine, iby RPearce - General
Quotecozmicray OK a design possibility but --- bed moves Use Ordbot Hadron design I have built one and upgraded a lot Use longer makerslides / belts Five Makerslide 1000mm $21.00 each Y axis will need two slides to support bed I got plenty of upgrades to design ie. use a box beam across bottom that holds the motors Oh no I am getting sucked in!!!! We have decided to use a 1/4"by RPearce - General
Forget I asked. Clearly everyone just wants to say negative things about the idea so what ever, I'll do everything, and I'll do it for $600 Usd a piece and then yah.by RPearce - General
We already sourced the heaters for $400 for the 2, we want to use E3d heads because we work.with carbon fiber. I don't see 10 Nema motors being outrageous also some the China sites make a complete electronics kit. Though the plan was to use a Printrbot board.by RPearce - General
The way I figured it, take the Prusa design. But make the bed fixed and make the gantry move in every position. This seemed the best way to accomplish the task.by RPearce - General
Hello, I need a machine builder. More or less someone to source parts and put a kit together. This kit will be 2x total numbers as we need 2 identical machines made. Parameters: must have a build space of 600Mmwx900mmLxby600mmh. Must have a heated bed, we did find a source in China that can supply them. Must have a floating gantry fixed bed. The spool will not mount on the gantry so the only weby RPearce - General
so during the cube test my printer started in the middle and made its way all the way to the front side...by RPearce - General
i have increased my max temps, no change, i dont have M109 code, only a M190 code which tells the bed to go to 110 G21 ; set units to millimeters M107 M190 S110 ; wait for bed temperature to be reached G28 ; home all axes G1 Z10 F5000 ; lift nozzle G90 ; use absolute coordinates G92 E0 M82 ; use absolute distances for extrusion G1 F1800.000 E-1.00000 G92 E0 G1 Z0.400 F7800.000 G1 X85.250 Y80.25by RPearce - General
there are no M104 or M109 commands in my G codeby RPearce - General
Hello, so i have been fighting with my Prusa I3 and upon a few other bed leveling issues, every time i try to print a test cube, at 235 since im using ABS, as soon as it starts to print the damn thing drops to 200 and starts printing, i have checked my Marlin, it seems ok, i checked slicer it seems ok, i have even tried taking away temp controls so that they stay at what i set them at but it keepby RPearce - General
getting lots of noises, none of the motors are doing anything though...by RPearce - General Mendel Topics
ok my bed motor ticks, my Z motors are making a high pitch noise and im not getting anything out of my other motorsby RPearce - General Mendel Topics
My Y Axis stopper is killing the USB on the computer side, if i can run with out a Y end stop i will be happy but, my servos are still not movingby RPearce - General Mendel Topics
can i run the printer with out a y axis stopper?by RPearce - General Mendel Topics
so im actually killing the computer not the adruino with my board problem...by RPearce - General Mendel Topics
so i flipped the 3 end stops back to the way it was and it all fired up, WTH man... ideas?by RPearce - General Mendel Topics
guys... im gunna start beating this thing soon....by RPearce - General Mendel Topics
Could not connect to COM4 at baudrate 250000: Serial error: could not open port COM4: The system cannot find the file specified. it isnt coming up in Device Manager at all, and Marlin cant find it...by RPearce - General Mendel Topics
... frustration level increasing... computer not reading the arduino now.... all i did was switch which way the end stops were and i did it while it was off... this machine is a headache...by RPearce - General Mendel Topics
maybe i have to reload drivers, COM4 isnt working anymore and i cant get Marlin to connect to itby RPearce - General Mendel Topics
ok i got them switched, but now i cant communicate with the board, i shut everything down before i did it so idk...by RPearce - General Mendel Topics
i have to do something in my Gcode because my fan is wired somewhere else, i think its 33, it says my Y axis MIN is triggered, and when i touch any of my end stops it kill the board, and i have to replug it in so i can get it to work again but im still getting nothing out of my Servos, what do you mean by S + - vs + - S? is S = to a Remote wire? are boards at least right?by RPearce - General Mendel Topics
this is my board, for some reason we are not getting any movement in the servos.by RPearce - General Mendel Topics
