Here's a screenshot of the speeds page from Simplify3d. [ATTACH] The X/Y Axis Movement Speed pays big dividends in print time. Compared with my...
Hi Shane -- Here is a link to a few photos of parts made on this machine. I generally use either PLA or PETG. The machine can handle ABS from a...
Hi Joseph, glad you like the build. Unfortunately the openbuilds parts are not yet detailed in the parts list, but they are all in the CAD files....
I use Simplify3D. For this part it's 60 percent fill, .16mm layer, PLA. Support is turned on. Of course there are a LOT more settings, which...
Hi Neil -- Try printing them in this orientation. It will put the rough edge where you won't care, and the detail of important features will be...
===================================================== Hi Knute and thanks for the message (and book order!). The limitations for these large...
Hi there. A fair question, but at this point I don't know any good way to share the PDF (or other format) safely. Please understand, this is no...
Dash-X is a Cartesian 3d printer, the third major evolution of this design. Having tried both HBot and CoreXY, I am currently of the opinion that...
Really nice looking machine! I particularly like the synchronous top-drive Z-Axis, very innovative. One comment on that however, I usually...
8mm leadscrews should be ok, as you say the loads (and speeds) are not huge. As re the controller, if you can afford it, you really owe it to...
The 32 bit boards (SKR 1.3, 1.4...) do require the 2.x version of Marlin. It's not that different in terms of what it does (yet), but it is a...
Up until recently I would have suggested the DEWALT DNP611, it's been the "go-to" spindle for hobby style CNC routers. That is, until DeWalt...
All of my designs for the past few years have used the Openbuilds wheels wherever possible. They have MANY advantages over other linear bearing...
Congrats on getting so far along, you're well on your way! I can't tell from your messages whether you have a copy of my book, if not you may...
Hi there, and thanks for the thoughtful comment. You are correct, in theory it would be fine to move the motors to the other ends of the...
I have created a more generic version of the electronics enclosure, now supports MKS Gen L, MKS Gen 1.4 and SKR 1.3 controllers. Please see: Case...
Hi there and thanks for the message/request. Looks like you're having fun with 3D printers! Unfortunately, I don't have the time just now to put...
Not at this time. The design has been pretty stable for a while.
Hi Jim -- To be honest, most of my information about the 32 bit boards is from other users/developers. I plan on incorporating one in my next...
Jim -- Safe travels, and please do check in as your project progresses. Happy Holidays to you as well! Neil
