Love it! I am happy my project made it here.

It looks like there is not an exe and is relying on cygwin to get it to work. Unfortunetly for me cygwin has been a crapshoot. I am hoping I can run it on a pi3 with ubuntu mate.

The thing is that it's not drawing 13amps.. more like 17-20amps. You could have a fire on your hands...

Ohms law, Those heated beds have two resistors for all intense and purpose. if wired for 12v or 24v does not matter, they will put out nearly the same wattage. What I did to my own bed is I run it at...

No printed copies as of yet. The scanner is still in testing phase. Its getting closer to what I am hoping for but not there just yet. This is an exercise in DYI so it may take some time before I...

I built this scanner while borrowing from the BQ scanner and Atlas 3D scanner. This thing is using FREELSS..... Not a bad outcome so far.

The details are as follows.

~150USD invested

I would use strands of cat5e cable, twist 3 seprate strands together and replace the wires on the servo. It should at least help with noise reduction. You can also use a ferrite core on the fan...

I built my own version of a belt drive extruder. Do you guys like this?

There are some things to overcome when building something that big. It seems to me a CORE XY could be scaled to that size, however the motors will have to be at least nema 23. With motors that large...

I designed my first geared extruder with premade fine gears. It gave me basicaly no lash, however the slanted gears are really beating up the bearings. The design also had some precision problems. I...

The inland plastic (Microcenter brand) has been easier to extrude for me. Its also more consistent with less variation in size than toner plastic. The down side is that it does string more. I suppose...

Funny you mention it, sunon and delta fans are good quality. Look for one with liquid filled bearings and not bushings.

When water cooling a pc users generally want the cpu/gpu/northbridge as close as possible to room temperature. Watercooling loops get more efficient with higher temperature differentials.

Let me...

One thing to say, a delta printer lends itself to keep most of the electronics and motors out of the heated chamber. If your not using a bowden setup your most likely moving too much weight around to...

There have been questions about certain suppliers that claim an all metal J-Head, its quality and its performance. I recorded a video concerning this as well as fixes. One thing to note is that they...

Who is your favorite and why? - As of now its the inland brand from microcenter (read microcenter brand)
Also what do you like working with the most PLA or ABS ETC? - ABS because its more durable...

I am grabbing a copy of that book. I hope its good. I did not much like 3d printing for dummies. Then what do I expect, most for dummies books are not exactly earth shattering.

I am using regular glass on my build. I run it as high as 100c, although mostly in the 80c to 90c range. One thing I did with my build is use an aluminum heat spreader, It is necessary for me because...

My first 3rd printer is a Delta. For all intense and purpose I was a complete newb. Not only that but I took the path less traveled and customised the design right off the bat. My printer prints very...

I know you said you want a desktop printer. But why not a DELTA printer? They do take very little desk space, at the expense of height.

I accidentally over-bored my nozzle in an effort to clean it. Make lemonade with lemons! Why the heck not try to print with it. My plastic is cheap, and the lead time to getting my replacements is...

Looks like I will be shopping for some blowers then. I will check my stockpile of fans and see if I have an appropriate fan(s) for this.

The blower fan turns on with the heater. Its not on a separate switch. The top blower is there once the print is done to remove heat from this thing quickly if so desired. The heater will ingest air...
