JohnSL,
My need for files is no longer. I was having issues with some of the bosch profile pieces staying stuck down initially. I have since upgraded the Cupcake CNC I am using to a stepper extruder and I have successfully printed 5/6 corner (top and bottom) frame pieces. I have the bosch rails on order and I am looking at purchasing the rest of the major mechanical pieces.
I do have a few questions, though.
I see on your github/simple files that you have a few different wing parts listed. Which are required and where? I assume that I print the wing and wing mirror, what is the wing long mirror file used for? Also, the MirrorWings file is oriented, in the stl file, such that the flat surface is printed last and a sizable bridge needs to be printed. Can you reorient that file such that the flat surface is printed flat on the print bed first? Did you have a motivation for orienting it that way? I plan on importing into SW and inserting some reference coordinates to use to reorient the part so no biggie, I just thought that it would be good to do for those that don't have the capability to reorient.
All in all, I'm enjoying this so far. There's nothing quite like making another printer with the printer. As a quick little story, I work in an electromagnetics department and I am trying to get 3D printing technology into the work place. I brought in the cupcake and the demonstration print I made was your 3DR Simple top frame piece. The guys were pretty impressed with the fact that I was making another printer with the Cupucake!
Can someone provide a list of hardware length's required? I'd like to put in a McMaster order sooner rather than later. If all else fails, I'll print the parts and measure what's needed.
EDIT: I have attached the SW2010 MirrorWings-Reoriented file in STL (SW file is too large to attach) format for your information. I added a reference coordinate plane and when saving out the STL from SW, you choose options and export it using the new coordinate system (there is a drop down box). I don't know if you knew that. I routinely model stuff without thinking about the orientation of the axes.
