Microcan

@microcan I moved this to other printers.

Looks very interesting. Belt looks very nice and also scary expensive 🙂

@microcan
thx buddy

@microcan it may be a language problem.

@microcan Did you try a clean install? Did you open a support ticket? I know that V3 works fine on mac, but you have to give CEL a chance to help you as you have an issue somewhere with your system.

@microcan Yup. That the best reason for it. Shame they didn’t make all those tiny servos same size. I bet that SG90 and HXT900 (in both ‘9’ stands for 9g servo - which, again, very few use as denomination) are slightly different, too.

BTW How are you driving servos? I am planning to make PiZero into USB stick that will do exactly that: expose…[Read more]

@microcan I moved this to here because it is so cool 🙂

@microcan I actually found an existing wood STL and chopped it up.

@microcan “This model violates the laws of gravity.” Tee hee! Nice bridging!

@microcan aside of fine detail artifacts, that is fine tuned, quality printer you printed benchy with. Isn’t it?

Now, I am 100% sure DM Robox can achieve as good print as that. Why not? That’s the question I am after and, even better, ‘how’! 🙂

@microcan Yes I got that too. It will print ok.

Got to agree with @pete the Benchy is not much use and I generally only print functional parts and prototypes. However I only use the dual to take advantage of a different support material so it was interesting to do a 2 colour print “for fun”.

@microcan Hm. I didn’t see bad design affecting other printers. Or, to be fair, others ‘slicing’ (however they’ve done it and through whatever software) as this is not “printer’s error” per se.

@simonhoult oh, on a good day Robox (AM, et al) bridges far bigger gaps quite nicely. I am worried that maybe some of the issues are from handling of…[Read more]

@mistsoul Personally I’m not concerned about the bridging on the Robox. I think it is quite sufficient for 99% of prints. It just happens to be in the photos that I attached to show the stringing improved with scale.

@microcan Lots of FDM printers can do a 10mm bridge. Ok some are better than others but the internet is littered with photos. I…[Read more]

@microcan I wasn’t showing that. I know Robox won’t bridge a 20mm gap easily. That is just because I scaled it to 200% to see if it helped remove the blobbing and stringing (it did a bit!)

Its not bad design. Its designed to test what a printer is capable of. At the original size (see my earlier pics) the gap is only 10mm and loads of printers c…[Read more]

@microcan I see where you are coming from but personally I would like to see CEL continue efforts to concentrate on evolving Robox as a 3D printer. Products like the ones in the Kickstarter project are superb but it can continue to improve and add new parts such as different 3D print heads, build surfaces for new materials, plug in accessories t…[Read more]

@microcan How do you mean that you used the Bowden tube to feed into the extruder? What part of the filament path did you put the tube?

@microcan Yup, you prompted it with that wheel! 🙂

I’ve printed my phone case with sample NinjaFlex I’ve got when my extruder was upgraded to handle flexible material. It was great but support (printed without it) missing caused top underside to sag and make it a bit messy. I hoped HIPS and DM head would be the way forward, but now reading about…[Read more]

@microcan Mainly subjective: I don’t like the finish of PLA and CO-PET type materials like nGen. ABS is difficult to print and has the distortion issue, but I find the results just feel more like proper manufactured parts. If TechABS solves those issues to some degree, it might be ideal for me. (I’m so close to buying some. If it was Designer…[Read more]
