Thanks the_digital_dentist for your insight I will be revising this printer in the near future as right now it is a concept and I am still learning all about the 3d printing and this printer has been a huge improvement from the first one I built and I am studying all its weak points and like you said that in X I am experiencing a wobble in my prints that is very small but still noticeable on theby vova - CoreXY Machines
Ya for now I had to drop the extruder low to be able to meet the Bed platform (I will be upgrading in near future getting longer lead screws and having linear rail on four corners also getting larger bed platform) but for now the linear rail is a heavy duty type so it holds up without any problems and can print great no issues my big problem right now that I am facing is that I get MemoryError: cby vova - CoreXY Machines
I have a question that I can't seem to fix on my printer So I am using pronterface as the interface for my printer but when ever I load a large file to print I get error SENDING:G92 X0 Y0 Z0 Setting hotend temperature to 0.000000 degrees Celsius.

Reason for using the Servo motor is because I happen to have some.. But besides that they are quitter just a high pitch noise Never have to worry about skipping steps (Even though in 3d printing that is usually no an issue) These servo motors are self-contained so they receive step/dir from the smoothieboard to servo controller and servo controller drives the motors accordingly.

Hi All Have not logged on for like a year or so...... since my "My first Servo motor based 3d printer" That setup I had did not work out too well, too many issues for start it was large and bulky, motors were not strong enough to drive the stages and that caused servo errors. Another words that printer was all about learning more like a concept. Since taking that printer apart have not done anythby vova - CoreXY Machines
Ok it has been a month since my last post. Have not had much time but have lots of updates. First of all my printer prints. It took a while to get all the parts but now I have it all assembled and working. One of many issues that I am experiencing is having the plastic ABS stick to the hotbed. Other problems that I am having is that my servo motors are too weak to drive the X & Y stages resulby vova - Extruded Aluminum Frames
I am thinking of using MK3 Heat bed as from reading it seems to be all in one type of board no need to put glass on top and it should also work fine with the smoothie board. What do you all think? Would that be a good choice? This will be for now just too get me familiar with the workings of the printer eventually I will have to custom make my own heatbet for the printer that will be 500X500mm.

Tired2 Thanks for being great help. I have been away for the last week so did not work on the printer much. Now I am back and also have received my order a Smoothieboard (Decided to go with it since it seems to have all the features I want and more). Here is the Link toSmoothie Board Have tested only one axis and it works will need to do some more wiring for the other axis. I do have some concerby vova - Extruded Aluminum Frames
So i am looking at the electronics boards and all of them seem to be for the stepper motor. Is there an output for step and dir in there? Or how would i get the step and dir signal out of the board?by vova - Extruded Aluminum Frames
Thank you Tired2 for showing me how to post pictures. As far as your recommendation I would more like it all to be in one peace instead of using another computer plus external control for heaters, so then looks like that would be to use Reprap way. What do you mean that Mach3 does better job than the 8 bit Arduino? Does that really need to do that much computing? I thought that all of it is alreaby vova - Extruded Aluminum Frames

cnc dick. That is some nice setup you have there. The reason I want to use the servo motors is I already have servo driver for them so I would not need gecko drives. But will need some sort of interface that will give commends for them to drive.by vova - Extruded Aluminum Frames
Hi All I am new to this forum. I have been reading a lot here for inspirations and ideas finally decided to post my project, hoping on some input. I have some AC Panasonic servo motors and controllers for them that I would like to use on my printer. But that is not without a challenge as it appears there have not been any build 3d printers using servo motors One of the challenges finding an intby vova - Extruded Aluminum Frames
