I'm comfortable with electronics and 3D modeling. It's long past time for a 3D printer. I've used Shapeways for a few projects but it's fairly expensive and (much worse) quite time-consuming. As ya'll know, shorter lead times = $$$. I don't need...
Hi all,I want to simulate an arc (radial) delta printer in software so that I can work out optimum dimensions etc. It would also be great if I could use the software later to design 3D prints but it's the design of the printer that is most...
I am looking for some one who might be able to help. I want to use a stepper motor and hook it up to the spot on my board for an extra extruder. I need to have a limit switch for this motor and the ability to drive it with some standard gcode. This is...
I'm working on a ball and socket "gooseneck" project that is 3d printable. The novel feature is a locking nut on each joint that vastly improves the pullout strength of the joint.https://hackaday.io/project/5739-locking-ball-and-socket-gooseneck-systemWorks great...
Hope to see you at the Midwest RepRap Festival (MRRF) is this weekend in Goshen, Indiana! "What is MRRF? It’s the worlds largest celebration of open source 3D printing with over 1,000 people from around the globe attending in 2017. If you are a hobbyists,...
I have been working on a 3d printer with auto eject system based on the kossel 3d printer. I really need so.e help solving a few issues related to the USB / serial connection cutting out. Also I have been using the repiteer firmware and want to switch...
The ShopArm is a 3D printed robot arm that makers can build from a kit and small businesses can use for small automation tasks. The Kickstarter has just launched.
I'm looking for ideas about how to stack and connect four CR1620 coin cells in series to give me 12V. So some kind of clip or tube. I don't have a 3D printer!
I am looking for software for inverse parallel kinematic equations. I found lots (including OpenRave) but everything seems to be for series robotics and not parallel. The Project is a half inverted arc delta robot, here -https://hackaday.io/project/18186-arc-delta-3d-pcb-drill-and-other-failuresI...
Does anyone know, what is the maximum temperature that plastic packages of ICs can withstand? Ignoring the die. I tried heating it to 350 deg.C for a few minutes. It smells, but without noticeable degradation.I have machined a part for 3d printer extruder...
