I'd like to mount a little "trash can" so I can prime the extruder before printing.
Has anybody does this on our delta printers?
Please post pictures or ideas!
Thx

Mechanical gear display stand
My co-worker wants to keep a broken gear from a robot arm as "trophy" on his desk (don't ask ).
So I designed this display stand for him:

Took a few minutes to design in OpenSCAD and came out perfect!

We've seen some pretty impressive bridging with PLA around here (example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQ1X-N6yio4" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). But what about ABS? Printing the "standard" test cube, I always seem to get some strands that break and "loop...

How "out of round" is it? And you mean in the "top down" plane, of course, right?

Hell, even nowadays, tuning between an OBD1 Bosch ECU on a 90s BMW 3 series and the later OBD2 Siemens ECU saw improvement in multiple categories, even though the Siemens had a lot more to do on the emissions side of things.

Re: Update 2-26-14 My printer is almost complete
thenewguy, great job on the printer. Looks fantastic and also seems to work great.
I'm confused though:
Why choose peltier elements for heating?
How are you even getting 100C from them?
Seems like a 110V coil wire would be much more efficient then the peltier elements, no?

Re: Broke another E3D...
Also, why were you trying to take the thermistor out? Since the nozzle had broken off inside the heater block, I wanted to remove the thermistor to move it to another hotend... Alas, it also broke. *sigh* Maybe I'll try the J-head one next. Though I can't print a mount for it right now of course :(

Broke another E3D...
So, apparently I'm an idiot... After breaking my E3D last time I tried to change the nozzle, I just broke it again. Being more careful this time, I first snapped the nozzle clean off. And then my threaded thermistor. Somehow anything screwed into the heater block seems to seize in place and never co...

Re: E3D V4 All metal hotend
Very nice and I'll probably print one for myself.
It would be nice though to have a E3D fan shroud that clips onto the hotend risers in the way that the SeeMeCNC one does, to keep it from rotating.

My work bought a Cube-X. I'm actually kind of bummed that they spend so much money on such a bad printer. Sure, it's built like a tank and the mechanics are truly awesome, but the custom electronics, stupid cartridge system for the filament and the lack of a heated bed are really quite the let-down....
