Ciao ragazzi, chi di noi abita attorno Varese (Lombardia)? Io sarei di Sesto Calende, vorrei sapere se c'è qualcuno attorno a me, per eventuali collaborazioni e cose carine di questo genere. Let's engage in jolly cooperation.by Gibbon91 - Discussioni generali - NO PROBLEMI DELLA STAMPANTE
Salve ragazzi, sto vendendo la mia Tevo Tarantula, non so se posso aggiungerlo ma ecco il link Ebay dell'annuncio, a limite lo riscrivo per intero.by Gibbon91 - Mercato
Ciao ragazzi, le stamperei io stesso queste parti, ma dato che ho appena smontato la stampante dovrei rimontarla, stampare le parti e poi rismontarla di nuovo. Ho pensato quindi di sentire un po' il prezzo e le tempistiche della stampa di questi pezzi. Io sono di Sesto Calende, mi piacerebbe venissero stampati in ABS o qualsiasi altra plastica abbia proprietà migliori del PLA. Fatevi avanti.by Gibbon91 - Mercato
yeah, that's also what i thought, i read some people talk about rods bending, but that's assuming the plastics won't bend before the rods, and realistically speaking, they will ...by Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
Do you have the file on openscad ? be sure to apply everytime you make a change or check the auto-apply option, change to 8mm rods and then go to "all printed parts", it's a plate with every part on it, then you can go to the tab dimension and find the general dimension of the frame and the belts and the lenght of the rods.by Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
Did you do any other research on those rods ? I'm afraid they might bend in my xl300 Also, as always, good job manby Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
Yes, thank you, i think i'll go for the xl300, i don't NEED a bigger print volume, but i'll need it, i will have one.by Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
yeah right ? Worst case scenario i'll send it back, best case scenario, it prints like a dream and i can print myself a girlfriend. Or at list a pair of tits. And i won't have to upgrade the frame or the bed later, just eventually the plastic parts to nylon and the rods to 12 mm onesby Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
How's your xl300 doing ? they just made me an offer to have one instead of the alu, so i was wondering if there are some problems or i can go for itby Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
Mh ... well, the xl300 has 8mm rods, with direct extrusion, so if they don't bend there, where would they ? Also, my alu is late, so they made me a discount offer, if i want i can have the xl300 alu kit by adding only 80 €, should i go for it in your opinion ? The bed size and direct extrusion are really tempting .....by Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
Are the rods 8mm or more ?by Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
Shit homie, you da best I don't know how black people speak, but good job, i was just thinking "maybe i should've gone with the xl300" and bam, here it is, doubt gone. Also, how's the titan doing ? Did you acquire it ?by Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
Well, my problem isn't speed, i want to print with all the filaments i want, and an e3d v6 plus titan seems to be my best bet, and having it as a direct drive extruder seems even better ... The fact is, that's going to be around 140€, which is around the price of the flex3drive, shit. So, i think i'm gonna first evaluate all my problems, then i'm thinking of a way to solve them. Worst case sceby Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
Guys i'm wondering, would a direct extruder add too much mass to the x carriage ? I'm fine with less speed than the bowden, but i want to print flexible filaments and other strange filaments and with direct it might be more easy ... What about a titan e3d with a little nema 17 like in this video ?by Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
This discussion is so sparse ... did you came up with another design ?by Gibbon91 - Paste Extrusion Working Group
Oh, so it will need specific corners, i see .... Well, let us know if this inprovement is worth it !by Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
yeah, i like gettin ahead of myself ... Or you can make a composite flex and pla print or something like that, i'm gonna go and search on youtube if someone has done a cool thing with itby Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
yeah, i meant x axis, well it doesn't seem difficult your upgrade, maybe i'll do it too, but changing the 2 axis with v-slot aluminum extruded (profile ? beam? how do you call this things in english), that would mean spending like 20 €, but i think it might be worth it ...by Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
Yeah, seems to me that there are a lot of ways to improve this, but all involves printing out different part or making the frame bigger .... Well, for now i think i'm gonna upgrade the shit out of the printer without major changes (z-axis, stability, etc.), then when i need to make a major upgrade i'll include making the print area bigger. That in my opinion can be done by either keeping the orby Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
Wow, that's so cool ! Maybe i'm wrong but from your photo it seems that your y axis is not parallel to the frame ...by Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
Did you do the upgrade ? I'm interested ! Did you gain some build volume ? You could put the motors outside the frame, the bearings on top of the carriage , maybe even arriving at 300x250 or something ... this could mean the birth of smartrapcore alu 2.0 Also how is your z-axis working ?by Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
How much did it cost you overall ? V-slot is pretty expensiveby Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
So, i ordered the smartrapcore alu (not the xl300 because i prefer the alu actually) (and because i'm cheap) and i'm already throwing out ideas to improve this printer. Big ideas. Well, in the beginning i wanted to eventually build myself a c-bot, but now i'm thinking about being more realistic and finding out what i can do with the structure i have. The first thing is: we have a 400x400x340 mmby Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
That's probably because they are in France, i'm in Italy, so no problem there, it's gonna arrive in a week.by Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
Hey, that's exactly my plan too ! I want also to have a floor under the heatbed carriage which separates the electronics from the rest, switches and panel on the front of the printer, and maybe i'll even convert everything to v-slot rails ... it offers many opportunitiesby Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
Well, that's for sure, an open platform like this is sure to be uprgadable, personally (and if i want) i'll evolve it slowly in a vulcanus, maybe even with a massive build volume ... or just 30x20 or something, i don't know ... then close it up, making it look nice and shiny, lots of things... Oh, by the way, would you recommend the smartrapcore alu or the basic kit ? Or maybe even the xl300 or tby Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
Ahaha no, i decided for the smartrapcore, with all the pros and cons that comes with it .... i will order it as soon as paypal decide it's time to give me my money .... in the meantime, how is flex3drive ?by Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
Actually i may have changed my mind to the smartrapcore .... My god, this might be too difficult for me !by Gibbon91 - Smart_Rap
