Re: Looking to build a delta - could use a bit of input
It was surprisingly simple, since I find poster tape works fine to attach the glass to the tabs on the Kossel - no new parts needed. I just had to crimp the thermistor and bed heater wires, attach the...

Hi RickM The extrusion was about £1.06 per metre and I got them to cut the nine 250mm and three 800mm pieces. I think total including shipping and cutting was £24.00. Cheap as chips really! Andy

What's happening with this project? Things seem to have died off. Expect it 'tis the season.

There is some action over here. [forum.conceptforge.org] I personally am abandoning this thread in regard to specific builds. (It would just get too messy with all the variants. GUS, THOR, BOB, LISA,...

Based on the comments in those threads about shrink during cool down, I'm not sure I would want to try all of that on a large format machine that does not have a full heated enclosure and a big heated...

I'm not really sure when or how to use M666 function? Kossel mini. Mechanical endstops. Thanks

The M666 command is not strictly needed. You can run the printer just fine without it. If you run without it you will need to manually set the locations of your end stops so the bed comes out level....
View ArticleRe: Can anyone explain how to use M666 Marlins?
M666 (together with M500) can store its parameters in EEPROM if you have EEPROM inabled in Configuration.h. In such a case, you do not need to add it to slicer options. M666 is just a way to adjust...
View ArticleRe: Can anyone explain how to use M666 Marlins?
If you do decide to enable the EEPROM stuff - read up on it first. Things can get very confusing if you don't understand all that gets / can get stored when you turn it on.

Hi RickM My printer is a bit noisy, steppers are at 32 microsteps so that helps a bit but with the belts, and the bearings running on the aluminium extrusion it's definitely not as quiet as the 3DR....

I don't know enough about those plastics to know how hot you will need to run your enclosure to control shrink. I also don't know enough about them to know if there is a temperature where shrink is a...

Hi Alex, It is unclear to me whether your gears have a point where more force is needed and motor skips or if the driver is overheating and thermal shutdown is kicking in. You can rule out the latter...

Of course, you will not want to have any PLA printed parts inside the heated enclosure. :( Aluminum machined parts would work. I would think it better to have a movable air "lid" that the extruder...

I thought it might be. I guess the channels along the aluminium resonate and cause the sound. It's no big deal. In fact it'll give me something to do - try to make it quieter :D I've done a bit of...
