Re: Home built printer - what is nearest commercial model - 7 years ago

If you have a home build printer, build a custom profile in your slicer. You already listed the most of the relevant values. Only when you build your printer to the exact specs of a "brand" printer you should use an existing profile.

Polysmooth without polysher V2 - 7 years ago

Hi, im very interested in the polysmooth/polysher system. From the mentions of the usual 3d printing youtube channels it seems to work well. However the pricetag for the polysher unit seems a bit high for my taste. That got me thinking on how to replicate the function: *The box can be recreated with a plastic box and one of the 3$ jewelry lazy susans from ali. *The vaporization could be done

Re: applying silkscreen ink without a paste extruder? - 7 years ago

Youre right I probably wont get around a paste extruder and that has been on my list already for other stuff. It just sounded so simple in the beginning "just strap a pen to the print head", but it never is For stencils a low wattage diode laser would probably be simpler but ill look into that later^^. Multicolors would be very cool indeed, maybe Ill find/design the paste extrude in a way tha

Interesting technology. Reminds me a bit of the objet printer. Do you get usable parts out of it with that UV curing method?

Re: applying silkscreen ink without a paste extruder? - 7 years ago

I want to use the ink in the pen and yes a paste extruder that feeds ink into the pen would be the ideal solution but I want to exhaust the simple solutions first. The pen would draw directly on the shirt, so cutting stencils and then manual painting could be avoided. Apart from that your idea with the blade in the print head is interesting. I saw that once on a cnc where the blade would foll

Re: applying silkscreen ink without a paste extruder? - 7 years ago

Hm interesting ideas. I thought about the capillary effect but I think the ink is to "pasty" for that, but dipping the pen in the ink might be possible. Maybe there is a sweet spot with only a slightly thinned down ink, where it gets sucked up by the pen. However then Im limited in how much I can draw. I wonder if I could increase the normal gravity feed by putting a weight in the pen that pu

applying silkscreen ink without a paste extruder? - 7 years ago

Hi, I was looking into creating some t-shirts with my printer and it could be done with fabric pens but those always look a bit flimsy, so I got some left over silkscreen ink from a friend who has a whole silkscreen carousel in his cellar. The one issue that im foreseeing is that the ink is pretty thick/viscous and with that my idea of applying the ink with a felt tip marker doesn't seem feasi

Re: Making motors move independently from 3d printer - 7 years ago

The link only links to the main page but I assume that you mean the standard wiring diagram. and yes you can connect all your electronics to you ramps and test out everything before you install the components in your frame. i would recommend to test the board connection, endstops and thermistors first with the board only on usb and in a 2nd step the motors with 12V attached. cheers

Re: 300mm PVC/acrylic tube as a shell - 7 years ago

neat idea, maybe you find a way of securing it to the frame during printing and take it of afterwards as a stabilizer of sorts

Re: Carbon 3d printer in europe? - 7 years ago

Yeah but im exactly after the post processing. I want to make something that can resist some water pressure and would like to know if that realistic with a carbon printer. They have a vid where they make some valve components for a high pressure system, so that looks interesting enough to ask^^

usable 3d printing pens from china? - 7 years ago

Hi, since I occasionally do 3d printing workshops I thought about getting a 3d printing pen, so I looked around an ali and banggood and they start at 30$ which is fine, but I also remembered some negative reviews about those pens from 1-2 years ago. I dont know if they have gotten so much better that even the cheap ones are usuable. So has anyone made some good experiences with a cheap 3d print

moisture % in filament storage? - 7 years ago

Hi, I recently build a filament storage with one of these desiccant dryers boxes I have it now in the filament box and the moisture percentage has stayed at 45% for 3 days and its lower than ambient moisture but still a bit high for my taste, but I have no baseline to compare. Does anyone have a similar storage solution and can share some long term moisture observations? Cheers

Re: NF hotend - 7 years ago

Ill asked the vendor of a similar design for some renderings of the internal geometry but got nothing. You need a very gradual filament path and I dont see how that can be manufactured here. The main issue of stringing filament wont be solved by this design. There is another 2 way splitter out there that can be mounted directly to the hotend leaving a similar short retraction distance. If I ge

dual extrusion y splitter anti stringing tool change scripts - 7 years ago

Hi, I recently installed a y-splitter on my printer and mechanically that all works out well. The one persistent issue that these systems have is the stringing caused by the filament when it gets retracted. After I figured out that the stringing is mainly caused by moist PLA, I started building my own filament drying storage and while thats on the way I ordered some PETG sample that came recom

auto bed level not applied - 7 years ago

Hi, I recently got an Ultimaker original that I upgraded with e3d v6, titan and marlin 1.1.2. This is the first time that I used the auto bed level on a cartesian machine, before I only worked with deltas. I set the levelling method to bilinear and put some bend cardboard on the bed to test how responsive the algorythm is. As you can see in the attached pic the bend shape is captured quite wel

Re: What limits extruder feed rate? - 7 years ago

I might be a bit spoiled with the bondtech but the ability to transfer heat into the material limits me the most. I calculated the extrusion volume for my different nozzles and then ill push them so fast until the extruder starts slipping and extrapolate those values to bigger nozzles. I would actually love to see volume info from the filament manufacturers.

Autocalibration bias related to what factors? - 7 years ago

Hi, Im doing well with smoothie and Re-arm and I spent some time today to square up my frame. Its a big and slightly fragile frame: 1m high and 40cm triangle sides, but with some cross-bracing and flying extruder I have no instabilities. I tried to get all frame related variables as close as possible. Arm length, arm parallelity, triangle sides and height are +-0.5mm. For auto calibration I

Re: The "Flying Extruder" Mod - 7 years ago

If you dont mind the optics you can place a V bearrings over you towers and a counter weight over each tower. The removes all influences of a swinging extruder from the carriages.

Re: Re-arm, connection drops after G31 - 7 years ago

I ran some more prints, and I still have issues. I ran G32/G31 combo with 9 points and it dropped the connection like before. When I changed to 7 points it worked. I have to repeat that some more times but its not encouraging. and secondly almost on every first print of the day. When I just turn on the printer for the first time, select a file from the micro sd, the bed starts heating up and

Re: Re-arm, connection drops after G31 - 7 years ago

Great, this is the same issue on the smoothie support google group. You mentioning the watchdog is interesting because in the very beginning I had to relax the settings already a bit and over the last 3 days I had 2 "random" "halted, use M999" error, not sure how that fits in the overall picture.
