you know what i like about this printer. all that functionality and if you include everything it's still cheaper then even the ultimaker 2 (previous generations old printer)

ultimakers are a scam

@taylorlandry641 4 жыл бұрын

Not really. The quoted price doesn't include any extruders or hot ends. It also doesn't include the hours of assembly required. Ultimakers may be overpriced, but that's not a fair comparison. I have a tool changer and it's FAR from a polished product like an Ultimaker. Certainly more capable, but it requires a LOT of effort, know-how, and patience.

Really excited to see the additive-subtractive. I am working on my own version of this! Not going to lie, when I heard you were making a money-is-no-object printer that would be over engineered I was a little disappointed to see regular ol' steppers on it. Seems like this was a money doesn't matter version that still lives in the world of hobby. Some ideas for REV2 - high end servo system for X,Y (yaskawa sigma 7). Z still a stepper, but maybe a more turn per inch lead screw to get more resolution. Linear encoder on Z axis to ENSURE exact layer thicknesses. Lots of people assume lead screws and ball screws will land on the correct value if your stepper steps all its steps but in reality they have variation, even in the highest precision versions. Maybe a high end servo for the extruder also - steppers can never have the smooth rotation that a servo can. Just some ideas:) If you want to get crazy you could look into ironless linear motors for the XY. That will solve ringing and belt stretch at high speed and acceleration. Great job guys

@darkracer1252 2 жыл бұрын

people that think that are hobbyist. they don't know anything about cnc. linear encoder is a must but for 3d printing it's all fine. this isn't precision work. i use a belt system for my z axis. no screw at all. lead or ball

@Anyone700 2 жыл бұрын

They needed the duet ecosystem and servos have their own limitations. It makes little sense to use servos on a 3D printer, speaking as someone who was obsessed with the idea. The real thing to have on a money is no object printer would be datum aligned linear encoders. Completely eliminate skew and ensure insane precision at crazy speeds. Nobody should care about the angle of the motor stator, its the nozzle you should be worried about

A lot of the people in this community would complain even harder if it was closed source and I would argue it'd make the system worse as a whole. I'm not usually the type to defend brands but you can't complain about proprietary systems ever again if your gonna adopt the stance that "open source is stealing". The people that do the work aren't under the illusion that they're ever gonna make a profit from it, they do it because they understand the power of crowd sourced innovation.

So far we have only used it in tech demos. Like here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrGpmJlntty6qo0.html We're trying to encourage others who are adept with the necessary technology to develop the tool properly. One vision of ours was that after completing a layer, the camera will scan the print and confirm whether there were any faults in printing said layer, if any are found, a subtractive tool could automatically shave the layer off, and then reprint it. However we have in no way tested this, or developed this past it's demo phase shown in the video above.
