First prints on our prototype

We have been printing with the first complete prototype, the results are very promising. In fact the hardware is working just as we imagined it, just a few tweaks to improve the speed, the accuracy is spectacular!

Every imperfection in our test prints is just down to tuning in the print parameters. Between the software and firmware we can set everything we need too thanks to Ian and Ben W’s hard work. There is still a lot more work to do to make all this control accessible to Robox users.

Our intent is to allow the user to simply press print and get a good result every time. The building blocks are in place and we now have complete control of every aspect of the print process, now its time to tune the system.
