i have found a dead plotter that i friend had at his work, and he will give it to me, i was wondering what other parts besides the steppers motors, at least i hope they are steppers they used in it, is there any other parts i should be looking for.?by dissidence - Controllers
oh i thought it was running at the 20mhz i wonder if i would gain anything if i tried to overclock it to 20mhz, but for now i will take stability over anything else though.by dissidence - Controllers
thank you, for that, i have been hoping that i could use sketch up allot, i find it to be the most friendly to use. thank youby dissidence - RepRap Host
i was wondering if you ever ran into any trouble with the speed of the arduino, i know it is slower than the 20mhz of the the one they are using in the gen 3 motherboard. i was wondering if any one has run into troubles with that, i think it is close enough that it may be able to cope fairly well.by dissidence - Controllers
i was wondering if any one has used COLLADA based files to print from, i noticed that the free version of sketchup from good will export in that format. though i am not sure if that file is supported but the software that reprap uses. any thoughts on this please i think i have the right area to post this inby dissidence - RepRap Host
i did find an interesting frame to build my repstrap out of, it is a chair base, not has small has i would like but i think it will work nicely. i think it should work well any how, any other people tried something like this.? i am going to try to make it like mendle with the extruder on two axis and the bed going one one axis sorry about the size of the picby dissidence - Mechanics
i am thinking about trying a geared stepper in an extruder, i think it should work good, dose any one else have any other thoughts.? what about a geared DC motor has any one used them with the mendle yet.?by dissidence - Controllers
i was wondering if i would be loosing anything major by going to a arduino mega over the other kits out there, it has more memory and ram, but it seems to be slower than the 20mhz the other kits include. i am just trying to build my repstrap i am not very far along yet, so i thought i would start with the items that i need to learn the most about. is there anything else that i should be consby dissidence - Controllers
i am thinking of using the copper pipe for mainly the wedge of the body then just doing the rest in what ever i can find what i was going to do for the mounts was just use a T fitting, with a cap at one side with a nut soldered to it so that i could mount stuff that wayby dissidence - Reprappers
i am thinking copper because it is more redly available where i live and all i can find for ready rod is just short pieces that i would need you buy a few of, thats why i am thinking about going with copper,by dissidence - Reprappers
i hope some one out there can help i would like to know too, so far i can really only work with sketchupby dissidence - Reprappers
i am looking into building a reprap out of copper pipe, i want to build it like the new mendle design, i think that would be a good one to start with, have many people had any issues with 1/2 copper pipe.? and i was wondering if anyone has tried to modify a hot glue gun to make an extruder with.? i am also looking to find a good cad program to use, i was hoping to be able to use sketchup put iby dissidence - Reprappers
i wanted to know if any other people out there have tried any other cpu's for there reprap like the parallax propeller paralax propeller or the xmos i am interested to find out what people have tried and what works for them,by dissidence - Controllers
