I was having a discussion with someone about those spring tensioners for belts. I don't use them. But it seems like on paper that they should reduce vibration from backlash correct? I am pretty sure it was here. But I seen where someone had ran test on the matter and had a good reason for not using those. Anyone have a clue? I can't find the post and can't remember for the life of me.. Orby dasflux - Mechanics
What an interesting idea for a printer. Did the mostly printed CNC inspire you ?by dasflux - General New Machines Topics
I always thought the blackbelts looked cool. Not cool enough to spend 10k dollars on though. Lol. So what is the advantage of printing tilted like that?by dasflux - CoreXY Machines
Some guys in the Tarantula community were wondering about the processor limits we can expect running some of the latest marlin features together such as linear advance, s-curve, junction deviation, and bed skew. The Tarantula uses a MKS Sbase 1.2-1.4. My first question is if the Atmega 2560 is 8 bit. What makes this board 32bit? The delta little monster uses a MKS Gen and it does pretty wellby dasflux - Controllers
I was just wondering if anyone has adapted this yet? Surely someone has. Anyone seen this around the interwebs? I searched but could not find anything.by dasflux - Prusa i3 and variants
Im upgrading to TMC 2100's in my MKS gen 1.4. I was just going over vref configuration in the wiki when I noticed this statement in the wiki. "The maximum continuous current is 1,25A (Irms) or 1,77A (Imax) and is determined by the 0,11Ω-sense resistor. Chinese PCB's have been reported with a 6.8k Ohm potentiometer instead of 20k. This limits the maximum current significantly." This sucks... Iby dasflux - General
Awesome thanks! Well what do you think about that beagle board? Sounds pretty awesome. But im checking out the duet right now! Got a good place to order from? I like that I also get to keep my tft touch lcd. Wish the drivers werent integrated but I think im gonna go with it.by dasflux - General
Started with a Tarantula running mks base. Moved to gen with the new tmc drivers and I'm finalizing my first build from scratch. I'm looking for recommendations for someone with about 8 months under their belt and programming experience(so firmware modifications like in marlin and no problem to me). I was reading this tonight ( ) and that beagle board sounds really awesome. I would rather haby dasflux - General
Edit: Problem solved. Axis were wrong. Thank you for the help.by dasflux - Prusa i3 and variants
Well thanks a lot guys. Well, is there a good resource or place where we are ordering out parts for the frame should I choose to build? Or are we all using ali? I want a large build area.by dasflux - General
I want to say yes to this so bad as in 2010(before my divorce took place) I started buying parts to build a huge CNC. Total cost was in the thousands on my spreadsheet. Right now I just have too much on my plate. Kid on the way, a massive vertical garden+greenhouse, drones, a mesaboogie rectifier replica and work. Its certainly within my bounds. Unfortunately Im gonna have to pay in and cutby dasflux - General
I would like to print drone parts. A few canopies and a few things around my circuit projects. Wel I want a nice high rez without going into sla like anyone. Speed isn't an issue. Say I go with a more expensive printer around 500-600. Do you have any recommendations? The market is saturated and there is so much...by dasflux - General
wow really. I thought the other looked more solid. But I look at both facebook groups and i see a lot let problems on the tarantula. I asked the guy that msged me if he was selling these things(referring to the non tarantula printer) and he kind of fear mongered me away from it with a pic of one that burned up and made a nice hole in a table. Can u tell me exactly why the frame is better. Thby dasflux - General
Tarantula - or I've really been impressed with what I have been seeing on the Tarantula webpage. I'm now aware of all the problems of the tarantula but im impressed with all the out of box prints im seeing after setup. I asked on the FB page about how it compared to a few others. A guy messaged me and was very helpful at clearing some things up I did not understand. I am looking to tinkby dasflux - General
