and yes, I added a removable edge for printer’s toe clamp, can add rigid or add flex edge, at the time I’m using flex part, or replace with what you feel you need…

Yeah, not cheap, but I really appreciate the prototyping effort.One question, have you tested whether the glass “force spreader” for the tensioner is necessary?For a lower cost plastic version,...

I had not tried it without glass plate, from your comment prior and seeing how large a drum area I had, you would need a very long delay time during each cycle due to hydraulic pressure (very flexable)...

made a mistake, I added in R&D and design time in this assembly cost, cost would be near $1200 with parts and machine time…

Yeah, it’s not the glass itself that’s expensive; I’m more thinking about the manufacturing effort to cut it down to size and then keep it intact during packing and shipping.If there were a way to keep...

Not sure where you are located to not have a hardware store next to you, but they will cut for nothing, you buy a small glass cutter like $4.oo and cut the 45 degrees on corners, pop those off, did...

I think the software needs a linier stage E-Stop, Red Button on the screen, once that motor is told to move it moves until the distance is complete no matter what is in the way…I had to pull the plug...

I don’t really know the exact process of casting because I gave the castable resin to a company specialized in gold casting, they only do this, I have only pre-polished the ring after casting…when the...

Cool, thanks for the insight – I never really considered mixing up the support sizes. I haven’t had a chance to dig through all your notes (I’m at work), but I do appreciate the detailed info.Here’s a...

Yeah, how simple that would be to write E-Stop code for the software..Also, I know they added 3 lines to the printer settings, but I think a button to keep adding as many line as you need if 8 is not...

The burnout schedule is more about keeping the flask at 200 degrees f and allowing the resin to melt out 2+ hours and slowly ramping up over the next 8 to 10 hours rather than a regular burnout leaving...

From the Marlin code, it looks like an M112 command would be as close as possible to implementing this in software. This seems to be what FDM control software that contains software E-Stop buttons...

I’m not quite seeing the droop in the picture, it may just be difficult for me to visualize that without knowing what the original model looks like.However, from what you’re seeing, is the droop on the...

Sorry for the bad pic…I’ve attached a partial jpeg of the image I scanned. If you need the STL let me know. Or the CWS that I went from.The piece seems stretched a bit from the support end of the body....

Hmm… hard to say with a part like this. For a problem where it seems like the dimensions are off (as opposed to having a bend) I would typically take measurements with calipers along the part in...

I hear ya. I did another 32mm mini. They are pretty close in height to the original. Again, even though I have them on a 30 degree angle with supports, it seems the backside (area connected to...
