Hi guys, I live in S - Florida, USA, and have a small project coming up in the testing of desktop speakers. I wanted to buy a printer that can print the housing (cabinets) for these small speakers I want to create. They will mainly be beta/prototype models, to learn about audio engineering. Bed of 200x200mm is good enough for me. It would allow me to create most basic blocks for speakers. I amby ProDigit - General
Jaren lang in Antwerpen gewoond; nu in FL! Ik kom hier op de Dutch groep, want de Engelse groep heeft een hele hoop ideoten, en spammers (ik bedoel, mensen die lagere qualiteits dingen willen verkopen om zelf profijt te maken). Zelf jaren lang in Belgie gewoond te hebben, herken ik het Nederlandse, Belgische, en Duitse oog voor perfectie! Alsook de meeste NL mensen zijn beschaafd.

wat versta je onder 'tweaken'? Is het temperatuur wijzigingen? Of stap wijzigingen van de motor? Of bedoel je lager of as-wijzigingen?by ProDigit - Dutch User Group - Archive
Hi, I wanted to reply to a topic I started, and the forum says my message is filtered as spam; which it is not. I want to contact the forum admin, but there's no 'contact us' anywhere, nor a userlist where I can see who's forum admin here...by ProDigit - General
What about printing the horizontal walls of a square in X motion, and vertical walls in Y-only motion? I mean, it can't get any better than that I suppose!by ProDigit - General
...Which is why we need some kind of hands-on experience between both! Besides the fact that there are so many different models out there, some goign with cheaper motors, or bearings, or other parts, some selling with more expensive ones... I just wished there was some sort of benchmark out there!by ProDigit - General
looks very nice! Not that the motor would need it, but if ever needed I suspect you could add torq very easily by doubling the rotor section (with magnets)? What's the average costprice for this?by ProDigit - General
That's a good argument, and since the motors and bearings seemingly are made to last, I presume it's a non-issue here. I've looked at many prototype designs, of many items, and most of the time they can be used sparingly. But while looking around, I found, that there are several people running these machines 24/7 weeks on end, so I presume that the parts will outlast a normal person's pc, if useby ProDigit - General
I understand, but what I'm saying is, if you rotate the design, you'll increase wear on only one engine, while keeping the design normal will ballast and wear both engines of the table.by ProDigit - General
Hi, I've seen quite an amount of models of 3D printers out there, and wondered if anyone knows the differences between models. Quite often each printer (like the orca, the glider, the Axis v2 ) compare themselves to the prusa mendel being somewhat 'better'. I'd like to know which model has good quality prints, is easy to mount, comes in a kit, and perhaps other differences between models! I'veby ProDigit - General

In the past I've worked for a plastic factory; so I know what base materials they use to increase the toughness of plastic, and what materials do what to the plastic, however I do not know the right doses of those materials, and do not know if those materials do any damage to the extruder. Many of the materials I've used in the past generally can only be found in local industrial plants and on iby ProDigit - General
Hi, I saw in one of the video's of one of the plastic printers that it fills up spaces by printing under an angle (X/Y plane). Do all printers do this, or are there also models that just fill up spaces solely on the X or Y axis? Reason why I ask is that when filling up spaces under an angle, you're wearing out both X and Y plane rotors and table. By filling up just using one axis you'd probablby ProDigit - General
Thanks for the advise! I saw however most of the complaints where about the DIY kits. They also sell fully assembled kits. Unfortunately I was looking for a $500-600 kit, and already need to cough up twice the amount to have an assembled kit where I only need to assemble the frame. I have no 3k spare for a hobby; but won't mind going to a smaller printer if it could reduce the overall price some!by ProDigit - General
So you think the angled thread can be done in one go? And later perhaps mount the hook with crazy glue? I'm not really trying to make this object, but a similar object with a hook and a small base with thread in an angle from the hook. Basically a part of my car to keep the passenger's mirror from falling down...by ProDigit - General
Thanks! I've tested google sketchup, but it's very limiting in the more advanced 3D functions, like 3D mirroring, and having a 3D object follow an exact curve. So far I've found an Axis 2.1 plus printer, fully pre-made, and a glider 3.0 printer for $1200 and $1400. I'm not very good with soldering, and basically want everything to work out of the box so I can start printing some small replacemeby ProDigit - General
It's basically a clothes hanger. The problem is on one side there's a hook, on X plane, but on the Z-plane there is a hole in it with a thread... http://www.woohome.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/copy_0_hanger1.jpgby ProDigit - General
Hi, I'm just an end user with Autocad experience. I've seen the Reprap Mendel and the portable version, and was very intrigued. I would like to know what the standard 3D modelling software is to use with such printer, and which printer is best suited for me. I'd like to find one that would fit on a 24" x 24" space on my desk. I read a printer costs around 500Eur, or in USA that'd be around ~$by ProDigit - General
