DavidS;
I like what you're doing and look forward to seeing the results. Sounds like you're taking on the whole ball of wax, so to speak.
I have one question though; why did you choose SPIN for...
The only full colour printing i'm aware of at this time uses a material known as "sandstone". Whether this is in fact sand, i don't know, but it's a service available from Shapeways. There DIY people...
I always like to know the purpose of a survey before taking the time to fill it out. Why do you want/need this information?
Error 404. Page not found!
Here's the cubify page.
Take a look at the Makerfarm i3v kits. These are open-source reprap kits that are getting very good reviews. The builder is reputed to be very helpful and has a good reputation. There is also an...
Solidworks is my primary design software, so this looks to me like "Solidworks Lite". It has some enhancements however that look really interesting. Primarily, the ability to collaborate on designs...
Sounds like a game changer alright. Can't say as i understand how it works yet.
Welcome Fear.
Price is just one component. You have to decide:
- Whether to build a kit or buy finished (kit is obviously cheaper)
- What size print envelope you need for your intended projects...
Why do you want to do this? The motor should have the current rating stamped on the nameplate.
Why not a bowden type extruder? Are they more susceptible to problems? I think delta type printers use them almost exclusively.
Just curious...
Any idea whether this board is delta printer ready? I haven't seen any mention of it.
3Doodler
Lix Pen
CreoPop
... are all print pens
Step 1: Save assembly (SLDASM) as part (SLDPRT). Be sure to select All Components radial button (see image). This puts all the parts into one file.
Step 2: Open the part file (SLDPRT) and save it as...
I got 1,190 hits matching "waterfall" at 3D Warehouse. Has to be something worth checking out there.
This looks like a hoot. Didn't know they still made Etch-a-Sketches.
Speaking of nano structures, this article popped up in Popular Science this morning: This Tiny Sculpture Is Perched Atop A Human Hair

Apparently, she broke this suit up into 14 pieces, printed those, and then soldered them together with a soldering iron. The suit broke at a few of these soldered spots. Why not just sew or stitch...
I like the fact that you're covering an area not usually seen in tutorials and i found them very interesting. However, i think you're making the assumption that your audience is as familiar with the...
This "auction to print" idea is an interesting and creative concept. I see a few issues though.
The biggest problem, from a designer's perspective, is that the STL file has to be released to all...
With a 3D pen? The parts being not as smooth isn't likely your biggest problem. How do you propose to create parts with any accuracy? Rails have to be parallel and axes have to be perpendicular. I...
There is a thread on this board about using DC motors with an encoder feedback. The thread was started by someone posting a YouMagine page link about just what you're talking about. Probably a good...
One of those simple, but great ideas that makes everybody ask themselves, "why didn't i think of that?"
If this catches on, filament suppliers will be ecstatic.
Vladik's rover looks like fun project, but i can't find an Arduino sketch (program) for this anywhere. Could be because his "notes" page is in Czech, which Google translate seems to choke on.
Not...
I see a bright future in "instant" shoe manufacturing - when every home has a 3D printer which can handle a variety of materials and colours simultaneously. When a woman can select from a catalog of...
