Or quit whinging, it could be worse. Much worse...
(this is for a single spool of filament to somewhere in Australia. Yay!)

It sounds like sensitivity will be your biggest issue. false triggering and the accuracy of the pistons is the biggest issue with FSR based systems, which would carry over to the Piezo system. (The pistons being the mount system for the FSR's) It's very interesting, but if the sensitivity is two hi...

1. Through the PID signal chain, the glass bed acts as a filter and delay. You have a point inasmuch as it would make sense for the thermistor to be mounted on the top of the glass so the PID processing includes that stage in the process chain, but that's impractical. So we get to temperature and ho...

So their response was fine, then: it indicated fairly clearly they weren't a bot.

Was your forum engine smart enough to work that out?

I think the suggestion was a good one, looking back. Easy to mount, no worries with only 3.5w of cutting/scorching the aluminium bed (garolite may have been a different story), Mach3 is a much more natural fit to the cutting/engraving stuff than Repetier firmware would have been. Thanks all. Finishe...

Nicely done and yeah, it almost looks like you're stepping over a bit too far for your tool on each pass but otherwise it looks pretty good!

Neat little design and great to see another commercial product coming off these. Re Pick n Place: orientation issues might mean the need for a 4th axis (spin on the pickup) and there's often enough slop in the QFN etc part trays to mean a pickup and drop based solely on mechanical positioning of the...

Hint: the code works, there's a bunch of us out here using it without modification and with very near to the default config published on the SeeMe site. Don't touch the code until you have a working machine. If it's driving straight to the bed my guess would be you have your stepper wires arse backw...

What problem are you trying to solve by getting the extruder to the hot end? If it's the inaccuracy in feed caused by the bowden tube, I suspect that the twist under load of the flex drive core would be an order of magnitude worse...

I'm sure there are a few guys here with the skills and knowledge to do what he's doing. Maybe not the drive to get projects finished quickly rather than pottering away at them. Maybe not the continuing series of weirdo lightbulb moments for projects that are achievable but have appeal. Maybe not the...

indeed!

I kinda like being able to see what's going on.

And, besides, if it's just a cardboard tube HOW THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO PUT IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DINING TABLE AND PRETEND YOU'RE IN THE TARDIS????

Cheers guys. Xenocrates - when I got the OmioCNC, I made two parts with it sitting on a table in the workshop. I cleaned up the ghastly mess left behind as best I could with brush and vacuum, but for a week afterwards every time I walked down there I'd come back with metal splinters in my feet. So I...

Ah yes. But then we go from "Oooh, I have some leftover acrylic sheet from building a CNC enclosure, let's print up a few brackets and enclose it" to major bucks for materials and subcontractor time. I don't care /that/ much. My point is more a warning for anyone else looking to use this d...

The guy is a feckin nutjob.

A glorious, skilled, well funded, charismatic, energetic and smart feckin nutjob. Love watching his stuff.

Still not sure what fit of insanity possessed me but in a few days I'll be the owner of a 3.5w 445nm laser. It's a diode in a brass tube with a collimator lens and a power supply. So I need to make up an ali heatsink and mounting bracket for it, and wire it into control circuitry etc but it's nothin...

Ah, just use it as a former? Nice. If I was going to go down that road I'd make some battens, tape them to the printer top and bottom discs, lay the printer on its side, heat the sheet in the plastic and slump it that way. But it would take more plastic than I have and I ain't buying more now. Not t...

I'm still using the standard effector platform for the V1 loaded with an E3Dv6, layer fan free at the moment. It wouldn't have been a problem using GeneB's calibration coordinates. It's not a problem using 3 point calibration in MatterControl. But the 7 point calibration takes the nozzle out pretty ...

Sigh. Effector platform is smacking into the wall and skipping the steppers during the MatterControl 7 point calibration.

Done. Aside from anything else it's keeping the particulates under control a lot better - room is a lot less smelly when I print ABS hot. Which is nice. Ended up buying a couple of caulking tubes of black silicone, masking the acrylic sheet with tape, running a nice thick bead between each pair of s...

Good work. I actually prefer this theme to the black one, TBH...

If you haven't already, check out the 2011 and 2014 variants of C++ and the stdlib support for the string class, regex, shared pointers and the like. It really looks like the C++ committee have bent over backwards over the last 15 years to make C++ more like, well, Java. There. I said it :) Result i...

Gods damned script kiddies. Hmmmph!

Nice work, 'pilot. How about a c# plugin for MatterSlice?

Spent some time searching last year and came up empty in Australia.

I think ePlas could get something in but it was a big sheet, thick and horrendously expensive.
