3dprinting

My resin printer was powered off with resin in the vat for about 7 months. Last night I turned it on, gave it a job, and I woke up to a successful print....

I’m getting increasingly frustrated trying to get my printer calibrated. I’ve done a bed calibration using screws_tilt_calculate, and that’s all nice and good. Got a bed mesh variance of 0.19mm which seems great....

Hey everyone....

I ran a selftest and the manual test and the X-axis keeps failing. I don’t know why....

I’m glad this happened on the first layer of a 2-day print, at least....

Its printing PLA and you could smell it very strongly and was super cool to see

Tons of 3d printed parts. James uses sooooooooooo much. Love it.

Filament is wound around a cardboard core and secured with straps. This allows the reuse of the spool sides, reducing waste.

I got an Ender V3 S2 a month ago to build a darksaber for my kid for Halloween. Came out looking great. No complaints. I then did a couple of upgrades (bed springs, converted to direct drive, Klipper/Mainsail rather than stock firmware/UI) and it’s a lot easier to dial in bed tramming....

Cura’s slicing tolerance -> exclusive uses the largest part of each layer to calculate the slice which can help when trying to print something with tighter tolerances. Unfortunately, the...

Gina had posted previously ( octoprint.org/…/we-need-to-talk-about-funding/ ) that she needed more support or she was going to have to stop maintaining Octoprint and get a full time job. Apparently everyone came thru!...

It’s a magnet-drive linear motor printer. Nothing like it on the market. I’m interested to see if this goes anywhere.

Link includes assembly instructions and Adam Savage video....

This video by dizekat shows a new kind of kinematic system based on string. It should be possible to make very fast but cheap printers like this due to low inertia of the system. Very interesting!
