All parts printed or acquired. Moving 3D printer to new home so I can use dining room table to start building hopefully this week. Going with a roughly 3ftx5ft sized machine so I can work with 2x4 project panels. Just the going with the spindle for now but laser burner will come soon enough. I’ll post some pics once I get all the brims and strings off some of the printed parts. I had some serious stringing issues in the beginning with pet-g. Some pieces look like fuzzy catapiller’s. |

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out for you. ;D --- Quote from: nitrogen_widget on October 28, 2019, 01:55:47 pm ---Going with a roughly 3ftx5ft sized machine --- End quote --- I'm guessing you already planned for mid-span supports on the 5' axis, right? https://www.v1engineering.com/specifications/ --- Quote ---All axis can be any length you prefer, anything over 3 1/2′ (1M) would require small mid-span supports to increase rigidity --- End quote --- Scott |

I have a thread on the V1 site but i'll post more pics here because they have seen it 100 times over there. I have the ramps 1.4 controller kit with lcd. not a fan of the knob navigation but also not a fan of dropping $100+ for a control board when the $30 unit will do the job just fine. going to find a case to print for it. Also, FYI if you plan to print these parts up, switch to a 1 or 1.2 mm nozzle. Once I did that it cut my print times in half and they came out beautifully. Except the top layer. It was kinda rough until I increased it. but it is cosmetic. |
