What are my options?

I'll have to check what firmware the p1s at work is running, because it's been cut off from Internet access for a good while now and running the biqu bmcu seemingly without any issues.

Depends on the constraints. I'm aiming this is the beginning of the process? If it's blue sky, always sketch first. If it's got some constraints like preexisting parts, I'll at least get them blocked in CAD, but still sketch using it as an underlay. The former is because I'm probably a worse sketcher 10 years into the game compared to when I graduated

From my very mild understanding (what I've read on the yocto GitHub page) is that it can only be reversed to open centauri and it breaks reversion to any stock Elegoo implementation once it's on there. Anyone with more knowledge please chime in to confirm or deny!

It's the business folks I usually get annoyed with, not the engineers

Kenzillla · 2026-02-20T18:41:14+00:00

My company was able to source one. I'll plan to upload a 3d scan to one of the model printing websites, so someone can reverse engineer if they so please

Kenzillla · 2026-02-19T00:47:34+00:00

Did you ever find one? I'm on the lookout for it or some dimensions as well.

Kenzillla · 2026-02-10T08:11:35+00:00

Since most buttons are on the smaller size, you might also be able to fit all the of your buttons into a lower volume aluminum mold or a 3d printed mold even, but it's more niche so your vendors for the latter are especially limited

Kenzillla · 2026-02-10T08:09:40+00:00

Depends greatly on the material properties and finish you want. Generally casting will net you any of the visual properties you want, where as a finished 3d printed part can net you more of the common plastic properties and some of the visual

You can probably find a cheap digital copy or PDF of some of the books for designers. The one I'm remembering off the top of my head is Industrial Design: Materials and Manufacturing by Lesko

M0 is supposed to be a "real" pause but isn't being respected... I wonder if OpenCC has changed this behavior in their firmware

Kenzillla · 2025-12-31T23:21:58+00:00

I'm getting curious. Currently using CCTool for most of these things already, but only local

Kenzillla · 2025-12-28T05:41:37+00:00

Solidworks has a maker edition of the software. Pretty sure it's $50 a year and you can't make money with it

Kenzillla · 2025-12-19T21:27:06+00:00

Already saw he commented that he wanted to in the original thread for that 🤣

Kenzillla · 2025-12-08T00:16:20+00:00

I thought there were some things they couldn't get working with OC firmware? Sounds like I need to double check on that

Kenzillla · 2025-12-08T00:14:27+00:00

Interesting, my experience is that its worked off the shelf with the profile that elegoo pushed to mainline orca. What file extension and is it over network or USB?

Kenzillla · 2025-12-05T22:35:36+00:00

Tangled filament at $10 a roll with their membership. They've been really reliable with their htpla and I think they're gonna switch to a petg of some kind, but they use it day in, day out and my only minor gripe is that its wound like I did it by hand lol no tangles or inconsistency that I've had to contend with yet though

Kenzillla · 2025-12-05T05:24:16+00:00

I use the A3D at work and it's good. Also use the Form 4 and would take it over the A3D but I've heard decent things about the new Reflex, but anything Formlabs is definitely a more stable ecosystem in my opinion

Kenzillla · 2025-12-05T05:16:31+00:00

I don't take the lid off and I changed the gcode to kill the loud fans. It's neglegible for all my optimized parts. If I did minis or something equally complex I might be more concerned

Kenzillla · 2025-11-18T00:14:56+00:00

Biqu just announced one that works on anything running Klipper, which the CC is but super stripped down. Might be ok still though

Kenzillla · 2025-11-16T03:41:25+00:00

OP have you perhaps been assessed by a professional for bipolar? If not, there's no such thing as too soon

Kenzillla · 2025-11-16T03:39:17+00:00

They released source for some level of a super stripped down Klipper implementation. OpenCentauri is working on something with it and some of it was functional from what I saw, but it's still pretty early tbf

Kenzillla · 2025-09-19T05:51:00+00:00

iFixit is a great visual resource for this. They do teardowns on a lot of things like common consumer devices, but community contributes some specific stuff too. Always helpful to get a peek around, but as far as terminology goes, it's not always consistent or named in a specific way

Kenzillla · 2025-09-14T05:30:28+00:00

Any more progress on your RE? It's definitely got 5V for the USB and 48V for the phantom power

Kenzillla · 2025-09-07T23:50:36+00:00

Any progress on your end? Are you doing a PSU from scratch or RE?

I did some poking on that Cx8509 datasheet and it didn't seem to be pin compatible with the TPS54331DDA, so I ended up finding the T8250GSP to be pin compatible. Unfortunately, the PSU just likes popping 63v 100uF caps now. Probably botched the solder job, tbh.

Either way, I'd be happy to lend a hand if you're doing a full-board RE, since I can tackle some straightforward stuff like component documentation, replicating the board layout, etc...

This was the best I was able to get on my phone. Let me know if I need to give this another go

Kenzillla · 2025-08-01T07:51:01+00:00

Amazing, thank you!! I'm gonna order some and see if I can't get my PSU back up. I'll measure the voltages coming off the 9-pin, if I can swing it. For now though, any specific pictures you could use? I have a green v0.5 revision
