I will have all the details in my next blog post which will be posted as soon as I am ready to start the campaign. If you would really like a printed version I have uploaded the case files to Tantillus' Github page and will be releasing the rest of the parts the day the Indiegogo campaign ends (both types use the exact same axis parts).Sublimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17981768588609934835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585609270014344483.post-56306586904209728062012-05-10T07:27:37.223-07:002012-05-10T07:27:37.223-07:00Looks like an awesome cute printer.

Time to start a "kickstarter" to get funding? I think this looks a lot more appealing than printrbot, and unlike makibox you actually have something working. So it should be easy to get in the cash to get a manufacturing project started.Raymondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02439087422352659735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585609270014344483.post-83260301519764504542012-03-21T22:48:20.156-07:002012-03-21T22:48:20.156-07:00Need anymore beta testers?

They will accessible from the front of the machine. It will require a small cable to connect the control panel to the electronics as opposed to having the card plugged into the board like SDramps. This will allow the use of Sanguinololu, Melzi, Gen7, Gen6 etc. The result is it will not have cutouts to fit any particular boards connectors.Sublimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17981768588609934835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585609270014344483.post-28815359985248144362012-03-08T16:27:28.642-08:002012-03-08T16:27:28.642-08:00I just thought about it, and if I may make a sugge...I just thought about it, and if I may make a suggestion I think it would be advisable to add a cutout where the electronics are mounted so that SDRAMPS or SDSL can be used more easily. I think this would add greatly to the portability and independence of the device.jessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01180852675530175970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585609270014344483.post-50319411113683380372012-03-05T15:38:26.918-08:002012-03-05T15:38:26.918-08:00I only ever use 3mm. 1.75mm costs more and gives n...I only ever use 3mm. 1.75mm costs more and gives no advantages over 3mm that can not be achieved with better gearing on the extruder. 1.75mm also sounds to have a higher allowable error tolerance which is not as good for precision. Plus it's not as stiff which can cause greater hysteresis in the Bowden cable.Sublimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17981768588609934835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585609270014344483.post-46625749171092312532012-03-05T15:06:55.390-08:002012-03-05T15:06:55.390-08:00Also, what size filament does it currently take?Also, what size filament does it currently take?jessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01180852675530175970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585609270014344483.post-13408417598071175982012-02-28T15:04:26.115-08:002012-02-28T15:04:26.115-08:00Sure, my issue all revolved around the RTS and DTR...Sure, my issue all revolved around the RTS and DTR wires I believe. They are used to tell the software to send more data. They seemed to just drop the signal and the host software would never get the command to send more data. With Teacups Xon/Xoff protocol the Arduino would just request more data via the serial connection not the hardware flow control. I am fairly confident this was the issue because even Xon/Xoff would fail if the DTR and RTS lines were enabled in my terminal program.<br /><br />Your issue sounds more like the step pins were inverted (going low to step not high).Sublimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17981768588609934835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585609270014344483.post-77737232415980932132012-02-28T14:57:58.755-08:002012-02-28T14:57:58.755-08:00Can you comment more on the failure mode of your c...Can you comment more on the failure mode of your controller? I had a working Teacup system that failed to work under Sprinter. I eventually discovered that the pulses being generated were extremely narrow, and not always picked up by my stepper drivers.macegrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06174848886721529108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585609270014344483.post-66436357713723489182012-02-27T22:07:23.826-08:002012-02-27T22:07:23.826-08:00Its 6mm acrylic which is over kill but what I had ...Its 6mm acrylic which is over kill but what I had lying around. On top is a thin piece of glass with blue painters tape on it (its easier to remove the tape from the glass than the acrylic).<br /><br />The electronics are all inside with the extruder. It has enough room for a battery pack or a small 5-10amp power supply inside but I am using an external power supply (laptop style) so you can unplug it and plug it into your cars lighter socket and print on the go.<br /><br />The files and instructions will be released when development is complete.Sublimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17981768588609934835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585609270014344483.post-77213810139279849892012-02-27T22:01:12.620-08:002012-02-27T22:01:12.620-08:00Now this is only a guess and I will know an actual...Now this is only a guess and I will know an actual number when I print the next one (waiting for PLA) but some where between 500-1000 grams. I could be wrong because I had the same roll of Red and Blue PLA for months and months and was assembling the machine while printing so I have never had a chance to weigh just the plastic parts.<br /><br />With 4 nema 17's, the Ramps board, all the metal rods, bearings, fans, spool holder, 6mm acrylic bottom, two 6mm acrylic bed plates and all the other parts it weighs in under 3000g (just over 6lbs)Sublimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17981768588609934835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585609270014344483.post-78749989759663399342012-02-27T21:44:24.753-08:002012-02-27T21:44:24.753-08:00I can't wait to build one of these.

Also, is there a mount underneath for a power supply and a mount above for the electronics, so it could literally be carried places?
