I got the thing to not break out the tube, but i think things are still moving too much to avoid it clogging up. I figured the hot-ptfe-tube ends the reprappro came with can drill themselves into the PEEK causing only (afaics)irrelevant damage(making itself some threads in there), and has a good shot of creating a tight fit in there, so am giving it a shot. Edit: note that i had to take ~3mm ofby Jasper1984 - Reprappers
I use nothing, when it gets squeaky i just use a bit of rope to clean that bit up a bit, it seems to get less and less squeaky over time and no apparent damage. I hope any wear that continues is mainly on the nuts, those are easier/cheaper to replace. The threaded rods dont seem to have sustained much damage so far.by Jasper1984 - Reprappers
Right 'trying again' waas just screwing the set screw further, i wanted to see if the tape approach would really fail, and it did.by Jasper1984 - Reprappers
To be clear the first paragraph is the problem; the PFTE tube pops out and the set-screw doesnt seem to be anywhere near small enough inner diameter able to hold it. The second paragraph was wondering if this set was composed correctly.. Or am i misusing the set screw? surely you dont have to rotate it all the way down? Right, pictures, sorry if they're bad, i only have a (pretty decent, but..)by Jasper1984 - Reprappers
I bought J-head compatible but the set screw doesnt keep the PFTE tube in the PEEK tube while operating. I tried putting tape on the PFTE tube so it would have to push off the tape to come out, but it just breaks through that.. It might be that the set screw is too small, the heater resistor is way smaller than the heater resistor itself. That would be fairly easy to deal with, but not at all aby Jasper1984 - Reprappers
Hard to see how to beat 15€/servo at the wages many people have! Also, not sure if you'd get similar quality ferrites at all, i mean you'd have a medium for the stuff to go into, thinning it, and 'getting the magnetization in'. However, i like the idea of the ability to make those things by itself, and we dont quite know where it leads a-priory. For instance, it'd probably be able make some shaby Jasper1984 - Paste Extrusion Working Group
If there isnt a plan to have & support an alternative to thingiverse that is effective in the general public, we're just a bunch of malcontents. It looks to me like a critical piece of infrastructure, what use are designs if we can get people to look at them? The good news, of course there are alternatives; the thingtracker network, which bld3r at least supports, fabfabbers, and another oneby Jasper1984 - General

Cool that you're coming with something specific, for the record!by Jasper1984 - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)
Cool, thought about doing similar myself, but my glasses are still good. Its really annoying how at the glasses-shop 'designers' seem to be in control what is the offering of the frame. The kind i wanted(just a minimal frame) doesnt seem to be among the choices. I think it would look less nerdy if it was rounded. And probably if less thick, but at some point you hit limitations of the material.by Jasper1984 - Look what I made!
* Stuff i try to develop, like the soldering iron, also tried retractable pens a lot, but got tired of it. And a hand drill.(wip) Uses this method of holding drill bits, but i think i'll add slits to insert metal sheets to spread the force over more plastic. * Lots of stuff to organize things, mostly on the plank above my desk. * Figures, artsy stuff.

For the record i think Zach Smith(Hoeken) is the closest analogy to Wozniak. (Not that the analogy is very close) What VCs and companies do is incorporate things into the mainstream. Incorporate it into the status quo, and any ideals or ideas how to actually do things be damned. And it is not like democracy is an alternative to change those things.QuoteYes, all the MBI owners/managers will get aby Jasper1984 - General
Please actually link to the stuff you're talking about? I take it is this. I think the rostock design also saves on one stepper.(magnitude matters; ~15$ to ~20$ i think) It has longer belts though, dont think that adds much in the price.

I think 3d printers dont actually care about gravity that much, people have run them upside down. Bed leveling setting the orientation relative to the movement of the hotend. Some people have completely fixed beds(because then the bed cant wobble), you dont need to recalibrate that often. The only thing i recalibrate sometimes is the orientation on the two driving z-rods.

For slic3r commandline, perimeter-width is set with `--top-infill-extrusion-width`, or see the section 'Flow options (advanced)' searching the gui its under 'Print Settings → Advanced', the extrusion width section there. The idea is that if the accounted extrusion width changes, it changes the path there. Not sure if that path then fills it up proper, but at least it has a shot..

I dont think it is that near to maturing, it seems pretty young to me. No-one is using reprapped vacuum cleaners yet. Repraps could not be the producers, but also enablers for another style of development of stuff. Maybe one that is more flexible/responsive than existing ones. So then it doesnt need to actually make the items, just be a quicker way of prototyping. (Edit: for instance open sourceby Jasper1984 - General
Good point, but beer cans and metal wires are everywhere! Surely we should explore what can be done with them? (Edit: like a metal version of this stirling engine, many mechanical moving parts can be put outside the can) Besides, if I ever want to design a whole soldering station instead, the tin can is the least of the vitamins.

It is on github, but consider it the 'dev' branch! Dont think i'll put it on fabfabbers/thingiverse et al without improvement. That bit of wire runs inside, and is a bit too much of a pain to get in. Basically i poked two holes and ran the wires to the front and twisted them together. I did that once, then i ran them through the front there.

I reckon for a reprap human time is usually more important than machine time. Figuring out a configuration to stack them in one print might take a bit of time to, and support sometimes affects the part negatively. I think this is a really good approach; I expect that any non-iterative improvement of this is a step up in complexity.
