The Dimension 768sst that i currently use has a dual head one for support material and one for model material so I dont think the skating accross material will be a problem but i need one for support and 3+ for material so I'm planning on going the carousel approachby Smf_Ogre - Reprappers
"Presumably you mean something like what I, at least, have been thinking about: an area full of different heads, that the plotter arm/head-holder/meta-head could move along and drop/pickup heads from? " yes its just like that. The reason I ask is I am a mechanical engineering major at UTA who works in the Material Science Department and I am making this printer for composite ceramics. So I wasby Smf_Ogre - Reprappers
I was wondering if anyone has thought about changable print heads similar to old style pen plotters? That would make multiple materials possible.by Smf_Ogre - Reprappers
I work for UTA and I'm building the cartesian robot but when I look at the bill of materials one thing I notice missing is a summery of items or part description. This would be helpful to know total length of rod needed, or all bolts in one location to make ordering easier. Also a link where you could purchase these would be nice. If one doesn't exist I would be willing to create one. I alsoby Smf_Ogre - Reprappers
Hi my name is Robert and I work in the Materials Science department at UTA and I have been tasked with building a 3d printer that prints ceramics I have 1.5 yrs exp with solidworks and 1 yr exp with a Dimension 768sst printer. I saw this project and realized it could save me a drastic amount of time in the design phase. Also I realized that I can contribute to itby Smf_Ogre - Reprappers
