I have found that Solidworks allow you to save models as 3D pdf files, which my customers can open with adobe reader. They can twist it around, zoom in and all, without going through their IT department to get special software installed.

You have to view it from PDF viewer, though. It doesn't work on a pdf viewer in a browser.

This looks really cool. By the way, what will the actual build volume be?

So what's the red crank looking part coming down next to the hot end that is called "Probe Assembly"?

Any chance of getting a part number and wiring diagram for the hot end connector? I'd like to convert my wiring to the new system so I can use the quick-change design with the new ball socket arms?

This printer is still under design and I do not think that any of the information you are asking for is available. Oly, if you are reading this could you please give any details that you can.

True, but that is more prevalent then the easm viewer.

I spy both a PCB on the hotend, and (indicators of) a lack of PEEK. Methinks this will be an excellent addition to the SeemeCNC stable of printers. Especially if that probe works well.

Some lovely things I've also spotted: LED on the bottom of the hotend, not as nice as the rings many use, but a step forward.
Linear rod towers. Unexpected, but kinda cool.
Venting for the steppers. Yay!
What looks to be a single fan for both heatsink and part cooling, with an interest valve (as it's labeled in the drawing)
PTC clip.
3MM filament for the dummy at very least. Interesting to see that.
And an interesting dent in the top. It might be for more spools, although with a side mounted spool holder arm, I can't figure out why you'd put on there.

I hope that isn't an offset Z probe. Delta printers need zero-offset probes for the best results. Offset probes never provide the same quality of data.

I was told that auto cal is all solidstate, and backward compatible with other/older versions of the MAX, so an offset shouldn't be a problem.

Digging through the model they posted, there is a probe arm,,,,, so it seems to have an offset probe.

It's an older drawing Mac. Steve and John have worked up a design that uses an accellerometer(sp) at the hot end that translates the spike generated on impact to a switch closure. (It doesn't hit the bed hard enough to do any damage or leave a mark.)

Once they get the bugs worked out of it, it'll be damn cool.

I knew about the accelerometer from talking to John at the Meridian Mall a couple of weeks ago,,,, but I wasn't sure if it was to early to say. I'm glad that little lever is going away.

I guess all the magic is happening with the circuit board on the effector, and it'll be backward compatible to other printers by running one additional wire to the RamBo board.

And the hotend is bullet proof.

I have my own probe and have had no complaints in 63 years.
And it also has a built in accelerometer!

This is the best method I've heard yet!

John got the idea while playing with a Naze32 quadrotor controller.

I do hope that he registered his quads with our rights removing government.

Well you don't register the bird, you register the pilot.

That being said, something tells me the heat death of the universe will occur before John OR myself register our toys with the FAA. At least until they decide that since they think my 3lb glider is equivalent to it's multi-thousand pound brethren, I get full access to all that tasty Class G airspace.

The AMA is apparently challenging the FAA ruling in court on the grounds there was an implicit exclusion of model aircraft in the FAA's original government mandate, but I suspect they are just looking to negotiate an exclusion for there members, who already basically register with them.

I'm only registering my drone if they give me an N-number to put on the tail. At least then it would be cool.

They'll give you an N number if you make it 55 or more pounds. Otherwise it will be in the UAS registration number series. I haven't seen anyone say how that series is formatted.

Actually you get a 10 digit number that starts with FA. Mine actually rhymes in a three letter meter, FA3, XXE, XXC and Y.

I think that it would be cool also to get an N number but there aren't enough possibilities in the allowed field for the expected number of registrants .

There is a misconception in the registration as I read the guidelines. The general public thinks drones and sees only quadcopters. The rules are broader than this and see the registration as applying to anything heavier than 250grams that flies outside. If it is less than 55pounds it may be register as a Hobby if there is no commercial use. In this case the number is assigned to the owner, not necessarily the pilot, and the owner can have any number of vehicles in his herd under one number. If the pilot is not the owner (you loaned you quad to a friend) then he must have the registration on him when flying. Over 55pounds the drone is registered individually similar to a full size aircraft. It is my understanding that in this class the records of registration and ownership will be a searchable public record like N-Numbers now.

Be interesting to see where this goes, apparently enforcement will be left up to local law enforcement agencies. I think that it is unlikely that this will be an issue unless the locals get a complaint about the neighbors kid taking photos of the guys wife naked in their backyard. At that stage, it would just be a tool to close down the situation.

Yeah, anything between 250 grams and 55 pounds that's remotely piloted by any means and flown outside. As I read the guidelines, if you put a sling load on a kite that totals 250g, it qualifies.

IIRC, there is also a carve-out in it for model planes and helicopters, so long as they are not autonomous, or intended for non-LOS flight, and they are flown in accordance with the rules of an institution such as the AMA (you don't need to be a member, just follow their rules is my understanding). There are other issues with the rules, but I think a 5 dollar fee (which is being refunded/waived currently), and filling out a form for out-door flight is reasonable, when you talk about drones like a DJI phantom, or similar. Much less so for say, a 30$ RC helicopter you bought at wall-mart.

Way I read it also. don't think the general public realizes how far reaching this is.

At the same time I think Autonomous Flight and Flight Controllers have Homeland mumbling to themselves in the corner. There is just not much way to counter the threat.
