Goodbye Orion

But I mean, I did this first try without calibrating after changing nozzle and material... SeeMeCNC is doing something right. (This is still all stock, haven't added my e3d yet)

That's how icecream cones should be made!

I would love to, but unfortunately the model is not mine to distribute. I licensed the model from turbo squid and modified it heavily. The modification MIGHT let me get out of the licensing restrictions, but the fact that this is also a commissioned piece for a customer, I feel it might be inappropriate to share.

If you look up ice cream cone on turbo squid, you'll find the model I based this off of. It's only $12. I smoothed and remeshed it, cut it into multiple pieces, and booleaned out parts so the scoops (3 total) would be removable. My friend will airbrush paint it, I'll post pics when I'm done.

There are several ice cream cones on Thingiverse.

There are some, and trust me I would have used a free model if I could have. Would have saved me $12... but none were as nice as this one. In fact, even more expensive models weren't as nice.

Not to say this model is perfect, but it can make a good print!

This is so off topic. I apologize for this.

Is that a cone or a club? :0

[geneb]

Yes.

Hahaha. Good answer. ^^^

Yes, I use it all the time. Especially for ABS. It does not need "continuous recalibration" however it does not like to be moved. It delivers good prints.

Mine has had to be recalibrated a few times after being moved or bumped into. I think your printer is pretty cool. Is the vertical stage Cartesian or CoreXY?

I'm not berating you. This is like pulling into a muscle car meet with a riced out Acura and claiming to have fixed all the problems of the muscle cars... no offense to Acura owners or rice enthusiasts.

The way you have posted in this thread is completely disgusting to me.

I am impressed, any videos of it in action?

EDIT: Also, can you detail how you set the motors up?

Thanks 626. I am not sure if you would call it Cartesian or CoreXY as I am unable to find a glossary of terms for different printers so honestly I don't know. My newbieness is showing

Thanks TFMike. I didn't think of making a video but sure, I'll give it a go and I'll show the motor config.

I am a new Orion owner (less than a week printing), I found this thread interesting.

Your printer looks quite nice. The design looks super solid. Love the HUGE build area and small footprint. I too am very interested in following your work on a printer kit.

Thanks, Mo

Lol, I just caught this now. Glad to disgust you, pilot. I wonder how this printer is working out for OP?

Thanks. Mo, I will not be doing a kit. My real job has its demands. Glad you like design. I hope you enjoy the Orion, I had a blast with it. If you can add PEI to the bed it will add to your enjoyment of the machine. http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=7452

It is working great. I have added a heated bed so I can use PEI. I am also working on a lightweight extruder. I want to attach it to the hotend to get rid of the bowden tube so i can use ninjaflex more easily.

Where is the video?!

[bot]

I'm glad to hear that your printer is going well. I hope you didn't feel as hurt by my comments as Pilot seems to have been. Cheers.

Glad to disgust you, pilot.

I can't imagine why.

Video please

[Holy1]

Video please

Here is a video.

I picked up a Prusa i3 kit for $300 last month, got it printing decent very quickly. I think the Prusa i3 is a good design for a cartesian DIY'r but I do like your wide columns. Could you post a build of materials?

I used 20x80x1000 mm v-slot rail from openbuilds and just cut length. It's nice stuff to work with. I'm just about ready start a smaller version as I never seem to use the whole build space. http://openbuildspartstore.com/v-slot-linear-rail/

Holy1, Could you post a picture of the Prusa I3 that you built and the approximate cost?

I am confused Eaglezsore. Did you mean this guy? >> briankb wrote:

He was the one that built the Prusa.

Sorry Holy1, I misread your message.

[briankb]

Sorry Holy1, I misread your message.

I picked up my kit at https://www.3dprintersonlinestore.com/e ... usa-i3-kit for $300 (including shipping) and it looks like the price has already dropped to $255 as of this post.

They shipped it from China within 7 days and it arrived quickly after that. They have been responsive to support emails. The Z-Axis end stop adjustment is a bit clunky but otherwise it's a good machine that is easy to calibrate and get some good prints.

Seriously considering, what do you mean by a clunky Z-Axis end stop adjustment? What is clunky about it is what I guess I am asking.

Thanks for the link!
