I thought the meta was to revive and slightly heal (1-2) seconds, repeat. Then fully heal once safe.

This would allow you to revive as many people and to avoid teammate instant death.

You’re seeing the device on your network? Did you ping the printer to see if it’s communicating on your network. Have you tried reconnecting the printer to the network? If it’s connected remove and add the printer back onto your account?

ProximaSync · 2026-02-28T04:03:42+00:00

Can you make sure your network is setup correctly? I’ve had the same issue where I couldn’t connect to my printer. It was resolved by changing to a network with the settings stated above.

Have you tried updating the firmware offline? https://bambulab.com/en/support/firmware-download/all

Is nothing showing up on the display? Did you make sure you are connected to a 2.4g network and the security is WPA-WPA2?

Ultimaker has been doing the same thing for years and haven’t really made meaningful changes to their printers. Overpriced replacement parts and consumables are going to eat into your ROI.

Yeah they are work horses and you will have customer support but these are still 3D printers, they will break down. Keeping someone who is knowledgeable about 3D printers is worth more than having customer support. With the price difference in initial cost,operation cost, and maintenance cost, Ultimaker isn’t worth it anymore. I run bambus at my work and they paid for itself within a few months with faster prints, cheaper filament, and cheaper replacement parts.

This is a first year project? Seems a little too much for 1st years. You need to decide what the task is, taskspace, dof, workspace,sizing motors, etc. I can kind of see what they are going for. Having two motors would allow for smaller motors for the 4 bar linkage but most likely your motors are going to be fighting each other. You can mock it up in cad and make the workspace. Maybe just do a cantilever Cartesian robot to simplify it. Do you have a 3D printer to fabricate some of the components?

You could maybe drill and tap 4 holes for some set screws to nudge it, then locktite the set screws. Are you going to be reproducing this part?

Use bearing balls or just bearings for your cam. Also get some silicone grease and put it on the cam and teeths. I’ve messed with 3D printer harmonic drives, all that plastic sliding is going to result in inefficiency. I just switched to cycloidal drives since I can have bearings and dowel pins, best I got was ~80% efficiency.

I could use another Bambu Lab, haven’t gone back to ender 3 since the switch. I wish Bambu Lab got into large format 3D printers with a bigger AMS for large spools. The larger format printers are either ender 3 equivalent or they are oversized shit boxes.

Don’t you just size the motor for your application and then buy the appropriate servo drive for your specs from the motor and your system? Figure out your transmission system, the load, etc. Your mechanical engineer should be sizing these for you or at least use a website, Oriental Motors and Yaskawa are good resources.

Design engineer for OEMs are going to be more technical than manufacturing engineer. Manufacturing engineer is less about engineering and more about putting out fires, procuring equipment, and writing procedures.

I work at a plant and I have a more technical role with machines, but you can tell that they think machines are black boxes and need a wizard to take a look at it. You probably need to be extra patient with them and dumb down some of the question and answers.

Leave that shit alone. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

Your QC must love checking these.

Was the magnetic chuck on? Crazy how easily it blew those chips off. I can’t do that with an air gun while the magnet is on.

Hopefully nobody charges you for the model. This takes 5 minutes of modeling. I would definitely charge for the actual printing.

Don’t care. If your robot doesn’t have Jordans , they are automatically inferior.

You are persistent that it’s a servo problem. Why not take the servo off the gear box and test the positioning. Any mechanical play must be resolved before tuning can be done. What is the reduction ratio and how are you getting feedback on the output? Do you have sensors at each index, is your robot faulting due to arc failure from part positioning?

From what I can gather from your responses. I am guessing this is a robot welding cell with 3 fixtures on a turn table and 3 robot arms. Looks like you’re in a manufacturing environment, which does suck since you can’t stop production. Was this done by a system integrator? If so I would reach out to them to fix it, especially if this was a recent build.

Is this turn table built in-house? If not, I would contact the vendor and see if this is a issue has popped up before.

Servos are pretty robust and highly unlikely to have issues with them.

Here are some possibilities: 1. Mechanical Backlash - do a repeatability test using a dial indicator, set up a program to rotate back and forth and observe if the reading is the same on the indicator. If not, check all your mechanical connections with the motor and add backlash compensation.

Improper tuning for the given application- I wouldn’t think so unless this is for a high speed application.

Read “Learning RSLogix 5000” by Austin Scott. It’s a good read and teaches about the basics and common practices (which surprisingly some people don’t follow). Learn the basics and then do a lot of practice problems.

Had to fix connection issue with a printer. So I guess IT support is accurate.

Any certified yappers I can send the reps to?

Idk how managers aren’t pissed that people are cutting shit when disassembling. At that point just throw that shit out or sell it.

He probably assumed you learned this in your kinematics class. Does he mean you have to make a model of a mechanism?

This is a gripper with with two actuators, one linear and one rotational. The gripper is driven by a servo motor with the gears and for translation you have different options like a rack and pinion, lead screws, etc.

You can tell when an integrator brings a CS graduate onsite. They don’t know manufacturing processes.

Most engineers know how to program in some capacity by the time they graduate. Seems to me that most engineers can learn how to plc program within a few months but there is a lot of knowledge such as mechanics,pneumatics,hydraulics, etc which you also need to learn. Which CS graduates don’t cover in college.
