That is great. I actually played with Kiri:Moto some time earlier today and also linked it in onshape. I really liked it. Great to hear that it will also allow me to do the part conversions. I'm looking forward to try it.

 

Excellent, thank you. And yes, I saw the thread you mentioned last night. Really helpful. Also signed up on GridSpace Forums.

 

Hi, how do i get to the web interface? When i put the PI IP a nginx message appear

 

Thank you so much!!! That worked. I have 2 more questions, sorry, i know that is a lot, but i’m really a starter in this world...
1) how do i visualize the câmera on web surface?
2) How do i upload a archive to the machine physically? Via pendrive on raspberry?

 

Y

yes, i do have a usb câmera, but no problem, i Will replace by a raspberry cam, thanks. There is no way to transfer files from a pendrive or SD card to the Printer directly?

 

Just out of curiosity, once again thanks!

 

Hi guys! Great job, SOA!
I am going to join your club, placed some orders for mechanical parts today.
I wonder if one really needs 7 inch touchscreen for this build. It consumes a significant part of BOM cost. Is it reasonable to save some money and go or a smaller touchscreen?
And... currenly I am running my printer via Octoprint installed on a Ubuntu server. Is there any chance that your grid-bot sotware will run on a basic Ubuntu computer?
P.S. I understand that I can use Octoprint and not grid-bot interface, but I guess I need some tools to control the firmware settings and not sure if it is possible from stock Octoprint. Should I look for the 3-rd party plugins for the Octopring to control accelerations, etc?

 

Many thanks for your answer)
But what about the fine tuning of the printer - like setting bed cover thickness, acelerations, jerk, bla-bla-blah? I have quite a lot of menus on the printer display which do not exist in my Octoprint web interface?

 

Obviously, the less devices I have the better they work)) Would be nice to keep it simple. Ok, I still have a lot of time to sort this... Thanks for advice!

 

hey SOA build looks super rad !!! excuse my noobsness. super new to 3d printing but thinking I want to build one . so It looks like I wouldn't be able to build this one because I have no access to a laser or a 3d printer. would there be a way to just buy these parts that your making or would it be worth my time to buy a complete lower end printer so I can make the brackets and mounts for the bad *** printer ?? thanks bunch!!

 

First post. I have a generic minimill that has yet to see action but here's my start. I got these (12 pieces) free at work since they were scraps. May have to modify just a little since these are 8020 extrusions and measure 25mm instead of 20mm. The shortest strip is still over 20" in length so I will probably cut the rest down to the shortest piece and build from there.

 

SOA, I combined the corner pieces and adjusted them for 8020 to 3D print instead of mill. Do you think at 4mm thick, printed with 1.5mm walls @50% infill will be sturdy enough?

 

Hello! Someone tell me. I started to collect GridBot 2, but the table is turned over in the model, why is that? How to flip?

 

I don't think you can flip it since the program doesn't allow for alterations to the design but just don't worry about it. When you'll bild it just build it with the bed flipped to the model. It will work a charm.

 

Thank you very much, I'll take a look. And another question, you can't buy SKR 1.3 boards anymore. Bought SKR 1.4 Turbo. Are there any differences in build and firmware?
Tell me, Hotend 12 or 24 volts?

 

You can still get the SKR 1.3 with the TFT included on Amazon.

Progress pic. Decided to change up the Z axis to dual steppers since I like how ABL can account for a little bit of Z leveling and possible weight issues. Since I think I should be able to use a bed somewhere around 350mm. If it doesn't work, I can always go back to the single stepper and belt setup. The 3D printed parts have already been converted to 2525 spacing.

 

Plans continue to change. I decided to try 3 Z steppers so I can use Auto Bed Align. Here's what we look like so far. The front steppers will also have 10mm linear rods as a guide/stability.

 

Hello this quick message to tell that this printer looks really great! After evaluating other options, I'm quite sure I'll build one.

Just one very important stuff : link to the active forum in the openbuilds description : GridBot

The sentence that syas :
CAD model here. Software stack here. Preferred slicer here. Forum here

Very important for the uture of the project is to have quick access to this forum imvho

Thank you for the hard work.

You might also want to post the printer to some other websites, like thingiverse and the like.

 

Hi. First time builder and loving this design. As a newbie however, I feel a bit overwhelmed about starting the build. Are there are any helpful tips / general directions for the assembly that you could provide? Best wishes
