Re: RC Yacht "footy"

Hi Gaz, How is it coming along? I'm very curious as to how boat design can meet 3d printing. I think the whole thing has great potential. There are a few challenges to be ironed out but if the topic...

Re: Anyone intersted in designing this?

That's very good! :) But would you eat that candy? :) Have you not done any drawings to STL work? Would you not tackle it your self? The video gives you a good look at how it works.

Re: Anyone intersted in designing this?

I've designed exactly one thing. Unfortunately it was in Autodesk 123d and before a crash/crappy customer support put me into Ubuntu. No expereince with any of the current compatable flavors.

Re: Need Advice - Is this dome overhang printable?

Hi all, i see this post is getting old with no answer to the question. Larslander, did you manage to print it? if you still need a model, give us a few dimensions of your component, at least, we need...

Re: Need Advice - Is this dome overhang printable?

Hi Lars, A few questions... is the dome top needed at all on the left hand part in your illustration? If the dome is needed, then does it need to be domed on the inside also? If it can be flat topped...

Hi, guys, I'm new to this, so if I say something stupid, please just smile, bear with me and correct me :) I know the Pololu-compatible stepper driver breakout boards are open source designs, and that...

Other smart IC ideas: 1. The Trinamic TMC246 IC: - A bit pricey, at as low as 8eur/piece, but WAY CHEAPER than their end-products (almost 20x cheaper) 2. The Trinamic TMC249 IC etc. you get the idea...

Re: RC Yacht "footy"

Yeah things got a bit busy since i first posted. My first couple of hulls ended up failing for the reasons given above, to keep it thin enough to be useable it then wasnt thick enough to print...

Hi, I have obtained the TOS-100 Stepper Driver Shield for Arduino [www.watterott.com] to try out the trinamic tmc260 driver. It looks promising. Just need the time to do the firmware integration and...

Re: SMARTER Polulu-compatible drivers (with sensorless stall and step loss...

Way to go, man! Pretty shortly I'll have to make my mind about which drivers to use for now on my 3 Megatronics boards: - classic high current pololu-s - easydriver - not sure about that one, people...

Painter bot (based on Reprap/ Eggbot?)

Hello all, I have just joined the world of open source 3D printing, and of course, the first thing I wanted to print was model trains! Of course, I really don't know how to use an airgun to paint, so...

Re: Painter bot (based on Reprap/ Eggbot?)

Hello Shane, I spent some time thinking about the same topic! The Eggbot uses normal pens to draw on the eggs, I think pens would be a good start for a "PainterBot". Pens could be one very simple...

Re: Painter bot (based on Reprap/ Eggbot?)

Hi Chris! I just had a look at a video of pad printing on Youtube - that could work for small decal like inscriptions, certainly, but I was thinking about painting lines and fluting details onto...

Re: Painter bot (based on Reprap/ Eggbot?)

Thats interesting! How does it turn the marker into a mist? I'm certain if I bought one, I'd find out - time to go to the local Target, or just eBay it...? Imagine hooking it up to an air compressor...

Hi, if you need any help or advice with the TOS-100 shields drop me a note. And before you go any Pololu-style adaption way let me know … since doing this based on the shield is very hard (or at least...

Re: SMARTER Polulu-compatible drivers (with sensorless stall and step loss...

Hey, @InteractiveMatter, Great job on the TOS-100! :D Too bad it's only in classic Arduino format, not in Pololu-standard format too ;) Any plans in that direction too? ;) And too bad your initial run...

Re: Anyone intersted in designing this?

I'd be up for designing this too. I don't have finished making my printer yet, but I am fairly good with CAD. Could someone tell me the flexibility and strength PLA is so I can determine if I can...

Re: 3d printed ultralight airship

I too am thinking about building an airplane with the help of a 3D printer and a CNC router but I don't know that you could ever get to the point of printing an airframe, bolting an engine to it and...
