the project is making good progress this little video is blowing up the counters on tiktok and instagram, even though everything was there before. people only believe when they see everything pretty and done, it's crazy. 45deg infinite printing module of the GA3D project I'll soon have finished documenting the construction of the basic machine for those who are interested, and all the info wilby Alvon3DprinTor - General
Yes, thank you Victor for being one of the guardians of the temple :-)! this forum and the reprap wiki are invaluable. getting back to the sockets, those ZIFs are cool, but they're really expensive!by Alvon3DprinTor - General
Hi Mike, great project! I also haven't yet found a real open standard on this subject. I don't think anyone has replied to you because this forum has been a bit deserted by users who have been siphoned off by social networks + reddit, discord, etc... which increases the effort of online presence tenfold. I always feel like I'm wandering around a magnificent immense abandoned palace with its aby Alvon3DprinTor - General
@VDX, Yes exactly, thank you for the answer it is just an additional module to make a belt printer, without blocking the machine for the eternity in this particular configuration. you need it => you place the module on the machine and switch in beltprinting modus. you are finished with your fabric, chain, rail, sword, or arrow etc... , => just remove your module and come back to the noby Alvon3DprinTor - General

Hi everybody, is there anybody interested in a smart low-cost filament changer at the moment ? I propose an opensource way of doing it "for the poor people like me not buying a "bamboo"... it still needs development to be 100% efficient what do you think about it ? has somebody already tried something similar ?

Hello to all, I just wanted to present also my little project GA3D M2 in the CoreXY section. Yes it is a CoreXY, but a crossed CoreXY. I have upgraded to version 2 of the machine, these features are : - Crossed CoreXY kinematics - MGN12H ball rails - small and handy manual tool changer - mixed electronics with Ramp1.4 and Raspberry pi, connectors always accessible for easy configuration chanby Alvon3DprinTor - CoreXY Machines

Hi everybody, I'm trying to make a 45° extension module to make little infinite printing just when I need it. see : Youtube Short : Marlin 2.1.x M808 loop I've a few problems to understand exactly what is happening with the M808 loop when it works, and when not This example works : G92 X0 Z0 Y0 E0 ; set start position to 0 0 0 Reset Extruder M140 S0 M105 M190 S0 M104 S0 M105 M109 S0by Alvon3DprinTor - Firmware - Marlin
@rq3 Yes you are right traction does not exactly equal compression. But in my case, If I push or I pull the filament, I have only one "knife" stuck in the filament, if the effort is enough to start the cutting process : I cut the filament instead of pushing it. with my design I must add more blades to elevate the effort needed to start the cutting the process. I could do a kind of tube with mby Alvon3DprinTor - Tech-Talk
Hi everybody, Before that I go further in my project version of the kind of extruder I've done a quick pulling test, to check the capacity of my design : Youtube - Pulling test Rolling Thread Extruder GA3D.tech I want to cry, only a little load on the filament is already making a lot of problems. the filament can be cutted, or twisted, it does not matter indeed, it is just not going forward.by Alvon3DprinTor - Tech-Talk

Hi arsi, Hum I've still a lot of job to get a fully usable extruder, but until now, with the tests I 've done, the cutting bearing makes a beautiful continuous thread mark, it is is very regular (visually seems to at least). Which pressure do you mean instead, the pressure in between the wheels or the pressure to go through the heat block ? in my opinion, If it is to go through the heat block iby Alvon3DprinTor - Tech-Talk
Hi rq3, thank you for your advice. unfortunately I've not yet something new to show, I'm doing too many things at the same time (this is a sickness in my case) 1) for the symmetry of the knife, I also had this fear, but it seem to be ok til now there is less grip in reverse mode in my case, but enough to pull out the filament, and more pressure in forward direction. 2) for the rotation of theby Alvon3DprinTor - Tech-Talk
Hi everybody, I just wanted to show you the quick protoype that I did this week : it is a first quick and dirty test. I did it with only One Bearing, and a half-cutted PTFE-tube as counterpart.

@rq3 I really love this extruder concept ! : it is a real disruptive innovation. I have also used this concept of thread without thread (with an inclined bearing) on a measurement microscope crossed table. it is just to move precisely the axis when you turn it and you can fast pull the axis if you want it because the bearing glides on the axis . It is simple and works very well. With your knby Alvon3DprinTor - Tech-Talk
Thank a lot for your comments Concerning FreeCAD it is since 3 years my exclusive CAD for job and personal sideprojects. I've used in the past CATIA v5 and Solidworks, but with FreeCAD I can do the same, even better (now that I know how to use it).

Hi Nikki, in theory octoprint can run on many types of hardware : https://community.octoprint.org/t/what-hardware-and-os-does-octoprint-officially-support/25435 I've never tried, I imagine it is not so easy to config and to make it fully operational A good alternative seems to be to be octo4a, it is done to run on an android tablet, old smartphone.

Hi andymidtf, Excellent ! your robot has exactly the same cinematic than my reprap ! concerning the rigidity I'm quite happy with my core bloc, it is very stiff.
