I need to have a stepper motor in the middle of a long (500mm) smooth shaft, as i need output on both ends. Non-Captive steppers seem to be made for threaded acme lead screws, hollow steppers seem made to allow for wires or other items through the middle.
I want to insert a 8mm shaft through a nema 17/23 stepper and secure it to the middle of the smooth shaft, I can grind a flat spot to secure i

I currently use Simplify3d but im finding that its not getting updated very often. feels like its stalled
are there any new innovative slicers out now that have some cool new features.
I heard about a slicer that would adapt layer height based on model detail. which sounds very cool so some layers are thick and some thin. choosing automatically

Trying to raise some money to help out the hard working Marlin development team, with the goal to get Marlin on 32bit boards
If you have a few bucks and Marlin has been useful to you. please give back directly to the developers
Thanks

OK I figured it out. As I saw it happen by chance 2hrs into a print. The nozzle/heated block has excessive petg buildup. The buildup touched a the print at one point with enough grab to make it skip steps. I took this opportunity to replace the heat block and nozzle with a new one that I had waiting for a rainy day with the new e3d silicone covers and Re ran the same geode and it printed perfectl

Ive been running into issues during printing of the print job shifting after several hours on my makerfarm i3v 12"

at first I thought the belt was loose and it it jumped a tooth or missed steps. but i check it and checked voltages and its fine. temperture on steppers is fine.
I have a strong fan blowing on my Rambo board, the ste

I would like to add a Nozzle wiping station/area to my printer
trying to decide on what material would work best to have the hotend wipe against
- Suede/leather
- Scotch Brite Scrub Sponge (Green)
- Silicone rubber
any other suggestions on what can be used. and hopefully not melt with a hot nozzle wiping against its surface

I purchased a E3D PT100 and it looks almost identicle to the standard new Thermistor E3D makes
same colour wires, same length.
no writing anywhere to identify it.
how can i test that the PT100 i got is really a PT100 and not just another thermistor?

The e3d silicone hotend caps really help with petg buildup
But they don't last that long. I had one already start to fall apart around the nozzle tip after 1 month.
I guess that's why they sell a three pack

for a 120v Heated bed. you connect it from the mains 120v power into a SSR (Solid State relay) that is controlled via PID on your 3d controller.
