Re: Idea: A blacksmith bot based on Simpson
Well not any printer. Few printers have stationary beds (which I think would be desirable). It's true I could use a rostock but the issue there is that most of the print volume for those machines is...

Guizmo, I like the ratchet idea, and I can see how each part could be printed, and integrated. But because the string is inelastic it will require very fine detentes to achieve the correct tension,...

While I'm about as far from an expert on 3D printers as you can get, since no one else has responded yet, I thought I'd give an explanation a try. The first thing to remember is that resolution can...

On the subject of resolution .. a stainless steel variable iris-type nozzle tip could be well-suited to a large format Simpson? Nozzle discussion might be off-topic for this thread, so I created a new...

@Matt M: The resolution is anything that you want it to be. I shoot for 25 microns in every direction which would be great for 3D-3D printing. (Okay, I just did the math and the filament I use causes...
