Re: Idea: A RepRap Hanging From the Ceiling
I think I understand what you mean. I'm planning on haveing the three xy-plane wires' anchor points close to the floor, so that they can have some damping effect on the jumbling. These three wires can...
View ArticleHeated Build Chamber for Kossel
I am considering experimenting with a heated build chamber for the Kossel using a heat bed installed upside down from the top of the frame and enclosed by acrylic. I'm hoping this will allow for FSR...

Wow, very interesting work indeed! Using only springs/suspended counter-weight to control z-height and keep all lines tensioned seems to give really smooth motion. However, it seems expensible to lose...

My personal thoughts on 1/32..."measure it with a micrometer, mark it with a crayon, cut it with a chainsaw." However, as Jay said, it is time to move on with newer technology. I am glad that he is...

How about a comprimise between 1 and 2. A sprung loaded Z motor. You then don't have to worry as much about getting all 4 motors perfectly in sync. I love where this idea is going though. I can just...

It is possible, but a lot more work than you might think. The PLA parts would have to be exchanged for ABS or another plastic that is less vulnarable in higher temperatures. For heating you would...

Out of curiosity, what retraction speed and distance are you running? I am at about 700mm with my 1.75mm filament Bowden tube, and running 6mm retraction @ 100mm/second to stop the E3D from oozing....

@Mallgan.O YES! I am definitely interested in uploading from IDE directly.

I figured that I would need to replace the PLA plastic parts for ABS. I'll experiment with just a HBP and an enclosure to see if a fully heated chamber will be worth it.

Nice work rymnd! I like the direction you have taken. I'm going to pursue a similar construction, using 6 dowel pins and 3 ball bearings to provide a kinematic coupling. In your construction, you rely...

Thanks. I may just yank it off then. It didn't seem too stable and I'm putting in a heated bed anyway.
