Quotedc42 Quotemichaelljunggren I have a suggestion for future versions but I don't know how easy it is to implement. Simple compression of the g-code files makes the files about 1/2 - 1/3 the size and should therefor be so much quicker to transfer. I obviously don't know what goes on when it is being streamed.

Quoteormerod168 you will so much enjoy this mod.. Erik...done... I will now run a speed test. I took the opportunity to strengthen a few other things too.by michaelljunggren - Ormerod
Yes, but if the firmware was aware of this, a quick 4 point sensing could auto generate the calibration information that the setbed.g contains. The head could jump between these points in a few seconds...by michaelljunggren - Ormerod
Can this somehow aid in auto bed-leveling?by michaelljunggren - Ormerod
If you have a microswitch as a zprobe, it must hang lower than the extruder. Dont you risk dragging the microswitch into the bed?by michaelljunggren - Ormerod
Thank you. I will update as soon as I can. :-) The upload speed has, from the start, been surprisingly low. What is/was the limitation depending on?by michaelljunggren - Ormerod
Thank you for a very instructive set of images! Unfortunately my hardware store only had 3mm thick aluminum but either that'll do, or I'll strengthen it in some other way.by michaelljunggren - Ormerod
Technically, you are not probe-less, you just switched to simpler probes. Using a microswitch for Z detection would be ideal. Isn't there a risk that the internal circuitry of the switch moves about a mm or so after a day or a month?by michaelljunggren - Ormerod
Quoteormerod168 Quotemichaelljunggren I say - where did you get that aluminum part from!? I want one! Made them from a piece of scrap aluminum, but I hope Dave will make these and and ad them to his offers, I'm working on it, hope he will crack before I run out of cherries ;-) ...I am going to attempt to add some aluminum to the ends as you did.

Quotedc42 To control both of them, they need to have different MAC addresses. So if there isn't a hardware MAC address on the board, then I guess we need to make the MAC address configurable in config.g.Maybe you could just create a hash with the IP as a part.by michaelljunggren - Ormerod
My ratio is 4:1 in calibration printouts vs useful stuff.by michaelljunggren - Ormerod
Thank god I have a 3D-printer or I would never be able to print out so many spare parts for it.by michaelljunggren - Ormerod

QuoteDavek0974 Hi, I am going to the post office tomorrow...I got my X-rib kit in the mail today. Looking forward to assemble it, but - where is this 1x31cm metal strip supposed to go?by michaelljunggren - Ormerod
You have aluminum everywhere. Any MDF remaining?by michaelljunggren - Ormerod

It doesn't matter if you have problems dc42, we will send you all our test prints and you can choose which suits you best. ;-)by michaelljunggren - Ormerod
My simple solution is to set the RPM of the fan by driving it externally, not via the duet. I always know what I'm printing so I always dial it in myself. I'm guessing the number of users that will invest in the time to install a servo is rather small. Worth noticing is that by dialing in the RPM manually and using the 360, I notice very little difference in gravitational interference. As I saidby michaelljunggren - Ormerod
May I come with a naive suggestion? I'm not certain how important it is to regulate the air flow around the extruded filament, but you appear to think it is. We mustn't forget "the fan" has two separate purposes: cooling the upper "cold end" and cooling the extruded filament. Measurements show the cold end can be easily cooled with a small fan, and performance isn't depending on it. A simpler wby michaelljunggren - Ormerod
Thanks for the update. We'll wait a little longer. :-)by michaelljunggren - Ormerod
After 1.5 years in print time, it weighs in at a hefty 43grams. Is this reasonable?by michaelljunggren - Ormerod

I'm still printing. As you can see the bridging has resulted in a few strings, but it looks airtight and straight otherwise. I'll run to its completion and see if it measures up. You may also notice the lower part of the chimney is missing! The web based gcodeviewer confirms the gcode really is like this. still, it will be fully functional.

I stumbled upon 6 powerful blowers from an old computer I might try later. It has 34mmH2O of static pressure but that might enable me to run it at a lower speed. It's not exactly silent...by michaelljunggren - Ormerod
QuoteKimBrown michaelljunggren, Where are you having problems?I don't, at the moment. I'm still running it. I thought the first horizontal floor was giving up but it really turned out great. :-)by michaelljunggren - Ormerod
As I write this, I have come to the section where "you absolutely have to have support structures". I... don't... I'll keep an eye on it and the moment it falls apart I'll start over. Oh well... You know... Bridging, as impressive it might be, I really wouldn't mind have a print made up from smaller pieces that are either clipped or screwed on. It's really alright with me.
