I understood the concept perfectly, but the rails only come in 6ft lengths? Disregarding the length and answering the larger question, no, I...
I've tried to bridge rails together for camera use before and unless you have a way of perfectly mating the ends- milled, ground, maybe even...
Hmm, I'm not sure how many people get into the details like that in builds, since typically they're either using off-the-shelf systems, or tend to...
Since you're taking pictures from, and presumably loading stock from, the right side short end, I've been using that as the de facto Y- "front" of...
A hand drill and an angle grinder would make short work of those screw heads (I use this technique for bevelling, diameter reducing, radiusing......
Those are all super simple tasks, though: Level shifting is trivial- just look up "bidirectional level shifter" on Amazon, you can get five...
If you want to do step on low, maybe, but that's not the way mine works. I'm guessing ENA+ would go to Arduino +5V too. I'm not sure, I was just...
I think setting it up for convenient local use would be worth the effort, for sure. Although sometimes sending a job downstairs without having to...
Personally I'd probably use M8, but I do like to over-build things, for the most part. Seems like the less flex in the screws you have, the more...
Dedos cruzados! :D
If Octoprint can be installed on the Pi, why can't a monitor and peripherals simply be plugged into that Pi? It sounded like it replaced Cura and...
X and Z should continue as they are. X PUL/DIR into pins 2 and 5, Z PUL/DIR into pins 4 and 7. You can continue the chained black/yellow power...
More importantly, which subforum should it be categorized under?! :ROFL:
Yes, I was trying to keep the wiring as simple as possible. Much clearer to see and perform surgery! On the image, that's all correct so far. Add...
Arduino pins are pretty fragile- I'd add an optocoupler at minimum before any power semiconductors, and I don't recall off-hand if SSRs need a...
Power supplies: Steppers: 24V. Last photo, red and black wires, top left, into black and yellow wires daisy-chained across all drivers....
I'm going to keep this simple so Google Translate can do a good job if it needs to. Here's my actual working setup before I start putting it in...
Looks fine for now? I mean, it's concerning in that all that's holding the thing on is those four puny screws and the only thing stopping it from...
If I were to build a printer, that's more or less what I'd guess my stack would look like (probably TB6600x5 though, because sometimes...
No, they're basically the same- they just blow pins on the base board instead. They're not optocoupled, so have a stack of microcontroller boards...
