Hi Steven, Sometimes, I think building a large printer is a curse in disguise, but I only have me to blame for that. Glad to hear you could find...
Hi Greg, Yes, the smoothie handles everything with no problem whatsoever. In order to give you the right picture, please be advised I am using...
Greg, I am using a smoothieboard for my printer. The printer has four nema23 for the bed lead screws, two nema23 for the y axis, two nema17 for...
Indeed, it may sound counter intuitive at first, but lowering the bed one layer at a time seems to be a better solution than having the extruder...
@ nexttoone: please be advised, there might be a trade off in terms of speed, since a 40x40 is somewhat heavier than a 20x40. also, from the...
no problem, that's what this forum is for. i've been thinking, from the pictures, it looks like your z axis is a 20x60 v slot, with the 60 mm side...
the above port extruder got replaced by a newer version. moved from horizontal full wheels to vertical mini wheels. also added a few bells and...
that is why i asked the question. it seems the vertical (port extruder) z axis can only go so deep. it is hard to use a long pencil for writing...
940 mm x 2 for x and y sounds great. how about z depth? judging from the pics, i'd say around 4-500 mm. please correct me if i'm wrong.
Indeed, this is where our designs part away. I went with the inversed z solution because my extruder is 2 lbs. in weight, obviously not Bowden....
Steven, I am curious: why did you go with the solution of using a 3 axis extruder and a fixed platform?
for bigger dimensions you will need bigger lead screws. in my case, after doing some math, i decided trapezoidal metric, 16mm diameter, will do...
why scrap the 1500 mm idea?
I 'fixed' it by using 4 wheels instead of 6. It seems the middle wheels, especially the fixed top one, caused misalignment upon tightening. Also,...
Had the same wobbling issue this last weekend, but on a 20x80 v slot rail. Never happened before.
I have the same problem this weekend with 20x80 v slot rail. The wheels wobble in the rail, even when the eccentrics are tightened. Not sure if...
Hi Arion, Just my two cents here, have you considered using a Flexdrive?
then I should consider myself lucky...
why am i not surprised? my main autocad file has passed 26 mb and counting.
hi farmer, been down the new born avenue already. well, my son is going on 4 soon, but playing horsey with daddy is most exciting when daddy is...
