I ordered all of the parts I needed from the standard bay (cause I'm cheap). I should have all the parts I need here in 5 days to 6 weeks. I have finished 3D printing most of the parts I need for the Z setup borrowed from the Mostly Printed CNC. When...
Thursday, 18:32, 18/05/2023 Bruh, I posted this one earlier by accident, lol Well, I felt guilt because I feel I didn't try hard enough on the previous project log, so I decided to finally make a drawing so I can visualize the final...
The first backplate has been waterjet to test the fit and get the overall feel. I'll be traveling this weekend and won't have too much time to work on the TOME until I return. Next week will be a busy week of 3D printing to get the Z and X axis prototyped.Here...
I will be making the print base out of 256 x 256 wire arrays that are individual modules that take a digital input of x and y. These modules can be combined for a larger printing area and should not slow down the printing process as each module...
First, each component is designed in the Fusion 360 software, using commercial bench presses as reference. That's also the case for the dimensions of our 3D printed bench press. One of the challenges of our design was to ensure smooth movement for the...
Plan This week, I will continue printing more copies of the prototype of the servo-mallet system. Procedures I will continue 3D printing out more copies of the stand prototype and building more servo-mallet systems. This will allow me to test my code...
If you own the lerdge USB/Wifi printing module, you've probably looked at that 8 pin header and thought "It would be nice to do serial printing." And it probably would. However, in the lerdge store's description, they basically say other ESP8266-01 modules...
In my last inkjet project I built a piezo inkjet printer from scratch made of cheap electronics, pneumatic and 3D printed parts. I could get it to work, but I had a few problems with the reliability. The drop size was quite large, keeping the ink supply...
These are my final entry describing how I have built my 3d printer. They are not so complicated because I have tried to keep it simple as it was just a simple proof of concept. Now that I have seen some flaws and bugs in the algorithms, I can start working...
Each Lubitel camera has its own charm! For this project it translates to the need of matching a lens rim to the camera body. From my experience, it can be done just by measuring the body (the diameter of the inner screw thread). Essentially, you need...
March 11, 2016Hey guys, we’ve had a bunch of hitches with parts coming up late and 3D printing issues, but we’re back on schedule and have finished building our X and Y axis.As I write this, we have our second Y axis gantry on the 3D printer.Once we...
I have been having an issure uploading pictures for my phone all of a sudden saying there is a 5mb limit so pretty much every picture has been denied, but I did grab this from a screen shot in mattercontrol for the robto 3d, this is the next print!...
Three years ago when I started this project, I thought I would upload all the parts to an online machine shop and hit submit. After > $20,000 quote I decided to go with additive manufacturing & investment casting instead -- and what a journey this has...
I was able to pull myself away from my other projects to give the TOME some love tonight. I've had this makerbeam sitting around for quite some time, generally I use it for quick test stands or supporting rigs for projects that i'm working on. The TOME...
I really don't want to have to use custom CNC machining to make the motor, so I'm searching for what I can use for making the motor.rack with no pinionBenefits:+ precision+ flat-topped teeth. like in steppers.Drawbacks:- wrong material- eddy currents-...
