Also I should mention, thank you gentlemen for the replies so far, and I still don't know which path I will take so any further input is appreciated.

I've been accused of a few things, but never a masochist. Wait, is a masochist someone who makes their own life difficult and tortures them self because of dumb decisions or for no good reason? ...

I just can't decide what to do.

I want to 3d print objects about 7" x 30" x 5" although I'd also like to print some things around 12" cubed but that isn't my main reason for building this . I...

Nylon 12, and Nylon 12 CF filaments (perhaps also some ABS CF filaments?), I realize these are expensive filaments, but I want to make functional parts for a specific application, and some suppliers...

One more question, I've been looking at gear reduction for the stepper motors / belt system.

Have you ever come across an 80T + 20T combined idler pulley? Or a 60T + 20T combined idler pulley?

Thank You everyone for your replies so far! I really appreciate the feedback. Sorry for the delay in writing back, I've been doing alot of thinking about this, and I still haven't made my...

That's very interesting. I'm guessing it uses two independent limit switches for homing on the gantry axis, to home each extruder, one to each side? Plus it has a proprietary calibration sequence...

I've been researching single / dual extruders and also multiple extruders using a single nozzle as I have decided to build my own FDM printer.

Keep in mind that this is based on my research, not...

Hi everyone. Everyone's favorite person is back (that's me) with some good news. I've decided to join the world of FDM printing.

Yes, I'm still planning on a DLP printer build, but I've realized...

I feel your loneliness. diy forums all over the place seem to be dying :(. Unfortunately, I don't have the knowledge required to help you with your problem.

Although I doubt it's the stepper...

I should also mention that I know nothing about filament printers, so I can't really help you there. Just wasting time. In your thread. You're welcome.

Luke, join the dark side!

Join me, and together we will make DLP (or LCD or SLA) stereo lithography resin printers!

And together we will rule this forum as father and son. Hey, it's a viable...

I really don't know anything about filament printers. I'm only here because I want to make a DLP resin printer. And now I'm procrastinating getting my own work done, so I will post in your thread. ...

I wrote a big long post with responses to a number of quotes but then realized that it was overkill.

We really don't know what it is you want to cut with the CNC router part of this.

You could...

So I've been thinking about this a bit more.

If you look at the first picture in the above document, my guess is that you would remove "A"...

Is there a kickstarter campaign for this? Perhaps I should start one, it seems like a popular idea :).



Thank you for the info. I have some very specific things I want to make so the print...

Also, I'm very sorry for the way that came off. Would it bother you if I make a couple edits / deletions from my post?

You're right mate. Thanks for not banning me. That was a 6 beer post.

I just got a bit torqued when I started watching the Youtube videos about Peachy and by Peachy. LOL. Ouch. And then I...

Am I allowed to post links here?



Holy Cow, that's some drama there.

I'd prefer to spend a more money and have something better. After spending a hour last night going through the drama...

Thanks for the reply. I recognize you from another forum. Nice to see a familiar face so to speak. I didn't realize you were into 3d printers.

A top down DIY resin printer, yes.

90%...

OK, so that one worked. Anyone have any idea where my two posts from yesterday went?

Hi,

I'm wondering if the forum is having technical difficulties? I made two posts yesterday but I can not see them. Poof, gone.

Also, my questions and comments will be related specifically...

I may end up with a 3LCD projector. I've been thinking of how to modify it for resin printing. I looked at some examples of people who made their own 4K projectors using a single UHD LCD with good...

Thank you for the reply. I now realize that this setup would be independent of the 3d printing software. Yes, a large 4K LCD screen could be a good choice, however I have already decided on a top...

Hi everyone,

I’m new to this forum. I’m new to 3D printing. I want to build a Stereolithography printer.

Right now I’m in the design phase, figuring out exactly what I want to do. ...
