Looks nice! I enclosed my printer in a case made of Lexan and wood. It doesn't add much weight, but to make the entire setup more stable, it is all attached to a table via bolts. Is yours attached via...

That is a really interesting/weird effect. The bottom looks it almost moves in a sharp angle as those layers just bunch together. I've never seen that before. I too build my own all metal hotends....

Quotersenas the weight of this structure and the quality of parts made stands compared to its previous. Hugs. It is a heavy structure with the six 900x300 glass panes, the ceramic tile and the 2...

View ArticleRe: Perfect Build Surface For PLA?
Blue tape wiped down with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol with no heat gives a ridiculously reliable "stick" for me. In fact, it's probably too much stick-- the tape usually comes up with the print. But...

Blue tape and 45C always perfect for me, even if my bed is both too high or too low it sticks well. I often take up tape when I pull up the print, having to replace tape about every fifth print. Just...

Your post contains a few errors: Quoteallempty I built a delta earlier this year and found that the most important point is to make sure the angle of the push rods from the ball joint centres is...

I have a suspicion that the torque required on the outer edges of the delta is higher than when printing in the middle. Have you calibrated the stepper drivers? My stepper drivers were at .65+v. I...

Oh I see, that is a very innovative design. I checked out your blog, is there any video?

Thanks everyone for the input on this. I've taken the 'get to the other side' measurement, which is 252mm. Hercek, thanks for the explanation and graph on slowdown, that's something I hadn't fully...

That is a good idea. I believe jaguarking11 is meaning that there is possibly something off in the mechanical build/parts that is binding/non free motion which is resulting in the problem. Check the...

You should really calibrate the stepper drivers. Mine were set to max, which under normal conditions would mean the motors could skip steps due to internal thermal shut down and overheating the...

The 80% (and the 60%) rule is BS when it comes to custom designs. That works on the Kossel Mini, but as soon as you alter the carriages or frame, that number goes right out the window. If you use 80%...

I see two issues here. Deltas tend to print bowl shaped. Think of a cereal bowl, as you move away from the center it's flat, and moves up slowly , then as you get to the edge it goes up faster and...

I just took a look at my printer notes. There is a bunch of math that went into this thing. The smooth rods are roughly 814mm long. And the radius is around 206mm, my effector rod length is 334mm eye...
