Hehe... yes, he simply can't, it's imperial today, rebels tomorrow... the today's kids

Uhhhh...sounds bad! Wish you a great recovery... take it slow.

A little cap modification (my son wanted a logo on his plain cap). So I modeled and printed two so he could choose one (some of you might even recognise the "brand" :)). I modeled them in F360 and printed on my UMO with Ninjaflex, they turned out fantastic (bondtech QR3!!). After he chose ...

Well, I just wanted to say, in general, I like the new Cura. An I really like the updated support structure / generator. I think it's much better than in the old cura... I have not used it too much (other than testing with my UMO, general prints) and I can't comment on Dual extrusion etc. So, it doe...

really cool!

well, you probably can if you know the pinout and the steps etc. should work. good luck!

Has anyone blown a controller board by locking up a stepper motor? I would assume it would possibly cause an over-current on the driver and cause it to fail, but this one has not completely failed as the motor still moves, well... sort of. yes, similar things happend to one of my stepp-sticks a whi...

A lot was going on at work in the last couple of weeks... so not much in the 3D World for me...

Just saw this article, took me by surprise:

... not sure how I feel about that .

I have checked it out (the MPCNC). But I'm having some doubts as to how ridgid it is. I'm looking for a CNC that can mill hardwood and some lighter aluminum jobs. But when time comes I might start with a less rigid one and work my way towards a more sturdy one. I agree, the MPCNC's are more suited ...

most CNC's I have looked at uses US parts and sourcing them in EU is expensive. I will take a closer look at this one :) Hi nilrog, also, look at http://www.vicious1.com/ MPCNC. He has an international version also, which is what I printed. I were able to source it (mostly) in Switzerland / China a...

Cool Amedee, looks great! I especially like the proximity endstops. Looks extremly sturdy... PCB milling? Alu, wood? As you know, I just built an MPCNC and yesterday I mounted all endstops (coincidence?) but just "normal" switch-endstops in NC configuration. I use RAMPS and Marlin to contr...

youp, cool, right? But does that not sound 2 cool to be true?

BTW: I would love one! And what can go wrong for 150$? (inc. shipping and some resin etc.)

Wow... a hefty discount! *sarcasm*

I am thinking of buying S3D since a long time. But I allways keep reminding myself, that cura does what I need, no problem. Once I find a use case where I "really" need it: I will finally hit buy.

...uh ok, that's also why it sort of "hard" stopped at 190... good catch.

worth checking out the feeder. The impression that the filament is grinded, and because of this insufficient amount of plastic out of the nozzle. I agreee. This is to be expected behaviour as the temp goes down! The stronger the feeder, the longer it will extrude plastic. If you hear the feeder ski...
