Re: Oh joy, and take it apart...error in my build or manual? - 13 years ago

Thanks! My build is "almost" complete, mechanics have been nearly assembled and I have basically followed your guide. I know the extruders are a completely different topic, but you seem to have wade's extruder in the guide and was wondering if there could be some part that would handle that too? The extruder build itself is a simple task, but for example there could be a part that would tell

Anybody thought of heating with infrared? - 13 years ago

It has been a problem to heat the whole object without a heating chamber. What about infrared heat lamp etc? Placed on both sides one should be able to focus the heat coming from the lamp just right so that there would be no warping..? Possible yes, but worth trying?

Bottom plate size important? - 13 years ago

I am wondering here that is the bottom plate size important? It seems to me that the size could be a bit bigger, or is it just a weight thing? Also in my opinion, the bottom slide rods should be placed wider -> more accurate movement? and to improve rigidity in the middle, there should be one threaded rod more between those sliding rods, just below/beside the belt that moves the bed.
