Hi m100 You said: > I just left the blade in a properly designed handle and cut my belts in literally minutes with the jig sat on my kitchen worktop, one hand holding the jig and blade, the other pulling the belt through. I glad you found it so easy. Other people have had issues where the metal "ribs" have been more of a spiral than a circle and so they were unable to cut them perfectly. Di

Hi noobcake You said I ripped apart my makerbot and started on my repstrap already Why? I wpuld have thought a backup system would be a good idea. I cant count the amount of times I have broken my 3d printer and needed a plastic part to repair it. Any way. Good luck noobcake. Stephen

Re: What is the biggest repstrap? - 14 years ago

cluso99 said Regarding your head crashes, I would expect the software to prevent such a thing??? The head (in this case) should always move upwards, and any attempt to move downwards should be prompted for permission??? My reply Your reply make complete and obvious sense and I wish it was so. But it's a little more complex than that. My old extruder had a 0.5mm hole and laid down an extrusion

Re: What is the biggest repstrap? - 14 years ago

Hi I look forward to seeing your design. Having a fixed extruder does indeed solve alot of problems. However most of my problems are caused by head crashes into cold plastic with the subsequent PTFE failure. I have observed that ideas are a dime a dozen here. Actually testing ideas is much more rare. So I would advise you to get your idea on paper. Build it. Then show the comunity. My reprap i

Re: What is the biggest repstrap? - 14 years ago

Hi I have uploaded an out of date picture on this message. If you are interested in the latest version I can upload it. I think the advantage of my repstrap is it is easy to build since most of it is MDF and is as stable as a rock so should be able to handle a mill tool. Once I have added the mill bit it will graduate from a repstrap to a reprap as it will be able to cut MDF to create itself.

Cefiar said >Yeah, any place that sells trade over the counter, you most likely want to look the part, and know the terminology so you can walk in and be treated with respect. Even a safety vest is enough in most cases to look the part. Agreed. I made sure I knew exactly what metal I was getting. which was 1214 grade Bright Mild Steel which I can put in my lathe. The steel I bought was abou

Re: What is the biggest repstrap? (400x300x200) - 14 years ago

Answering the original question about the biggest userable space. My current repstrap is 400mm x 300mm with 200mm deep However probably not the most space efficent at a total size of 800mm x 600mm x 450mm and possibly the only reprap in the world which you can sit on without it breaking.

Re: Skeinforge negative coordinates - 14 years ago

Hi I have a different solution. Note: I have not locked my firmware to a minimum of 0,0,0 I have a little program called r_offset which I run before sending the main g_code from skeinforge. This puts the extruder bang in the middle of the board. And then resets the position so its 0,0 All done via g-code. Probably could just put it in the header of the main g-code. Anyway Perfect print and y

Re: openscad - 14 years ago

Did you do a full compile and Render - you pressed F6 or Menu /design / compile an render or a compile - you pressed F5 or Menu /design /compile? Note a compile is good to see what is going on and is quick but uses a green area to show removed section a render is slow but shows you the final product. regards Stephen

Re: Reprap green house / heated chamber - 14 years ago

Hi Arvin said > Aluminium tube is pretty expensive. I can get 3 Metres of Aluminium tube for $A16 retail. It's easy to cut and drill but I see no problems with using Steel if it is cheap. Steel is probably a better material in the long run as I suspect it is more rigid. Arvin said >Does the thin plastic keep enough of the warmth in your green house? Yes.

Reprap green house / heated chamber - 14 years ago

Hi Here are the details of my reprap green house. (which doubles as a real green house for seedlings) Picture 1 is a picture of the prototype to test my build idea.It shows a cube made out of 16mm round aluminium tube with reprap built parts holding the structure together. The two bits of plastic to the side are the reprap built parts. They fit together to form a three node joint. Note they

Re: Production exception: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutofBoundsException: -1 - 14 years ago

Yes I did solve the issue. Basically I was making "inteligent" desisions in the configuration. For example I only have one extruder so I setup the system to be 1 extruder not the 3 which is the default. This was the wrong way to proceed. Anyway the solution was to wipe the whole setup. Reinstall and and do a dummy run using the defaults. (i.e. Send gcode to a file rather than reprap). When th

Re: A call for help/ideas to develop the Heated Room - 14 years ago

Hi I built a heated room too. Mainly because it's winter here and with the room temperature being below 20C results in god awful prints in ABS. Bringing the temperature up to 35C - 50C helped considerably with warping. The parts just look better. I repraped most parts for the frame. If anyone is intersted I can upload Pictures and STL object files. regards Stephen George
