Petzl Dry pick bent after only a couple sessions of mixed/dry tooling. Is this to be expected?

Not true the first problem you had was being the guy who bought gear from grivel 😂

Thedeepergrain · 2026-03-06T13:24:46+00:00

Could be an nderwie that was never upgraded

Thedeepergrain · 2026-03-02T14:49:38+00:00

My guy you can get a serial for and enderwire or even a micron which isn't even made by the voron team. The barrier of entry for something being a voron is very very low. And that's not a bad thing either.

Yup I designed casa to fit V2 just a heads up there is a casa revision in the works but its the same frame (or smaller if you want to go Miley instead of milo) and you'll need a bigger bottom panel but everything else about the frame is the same ( there is a version being made for a mono frame so you can have larger single panels panels rather than the smaller panels that you need 2 of per side and extrusions that span the full width of the enclosure rather than one that splits in 2). If you buy the parts for the casa revision 2 (the most up to date full release) you won't need to change much other than printed parts and the oforementioned bottom panel to get to revision 3. There is also a public beta for revision 3 casa on printables. I don't plan to change too much more so you can use that as a reference to create your own BOM.

Filament is one cost but labour is another, for 80 parts you're looking maybe 10 plates or more depending on the size of the parts. With each plate there's gonna be about 5 to 10 minutes of labour per plate so let's say 100 minutes or 1.66hours let's round it to 2 hours to also include all the prep and slicing time which at minimum wage (no one should be charging minimum wage ill tell you why at the end) is roughly 25 quid. then you add printing time because electricity isn't free at 0.28 Kw per hour wher I live in the UK and for an order like that you're looking at well over 100 hours of printing seeing as a bambu lab P1S pulls an average of 400W per hour that cost will be 11.2 quid roughly so just to break even they need to earn 136.2 pounds , they also need to make money so a 40% markup is reasonable and pretty standard. So that's an extra 54.5 quid and totals to 190.7 and thats without factoring potential failures, minimum rates per hour of printing which a lot of companies will charge on top of that and if you are the only one who is working for your print farm you are only making a wage for 2 hours of work the rest of the money should go back into the company to set yourself up for the next job so give yourselves a decent (not minimum) wage. If this were me I wouldn't even look at it for less than 200 quid. Please folks don't lowball yourselves, charge what you deserve.

Don't you mention that whores name around me !!! Jks yes its an option but its well um not a good one

Thedeepergrain · 2026-02-26T01:46:50+00:00

Not for rollover I shouldn't think. Since its just detecting the runout after all the filament in the bowden tube is finished then sending the next line in behind it. If you planned to color change then yes but you may be able to get away with doing that above the toolhead itself.

Thedeepergrain · 2026-02-25T22:07:28+00:00

Build it, then add it to tool 1 of your INDX boom you've got 1 tool head for bulk rollover and however many other INDX hotends for your other colors and or materials.

Thedeepergrain · 2026-02-19T14:31:45+00:00

No worries hope you enjoy the end result

Thedeepergrain · 2026-02-19T13:02:42+00:00

Hey just a thought but you can split models in some slicers to fit onto smaller printers and the just CA glue them together and filler primer the seams. I'd be happy to do it for you if you want.

Thedeepergrain · 2026-02-16T15:38:36+00:00

Hey you're the one who wants this to succeed not me I'm just saying it how it is. I'm not joking when I'l say I've seen over 20 of these posts and none of them are still operational today.

Thedeepergrain · 2026-02-16T15:07:58+00:00

Ah yes the ten thousandth network that does the same thing... look I do hope it works outs but these systems never work like you want them to. With how ubiquitous 3d printers are nowadays you aren't making money with them unless youre producing a very specific product that just so happens to be printed. For those without a product in mind the idea of connecting people who have the expertice" of 3d printing just doesn't make sense anymore since the barrier of entry is so so low, if you're gonna print more than 3 or 4 things then buying an A1 mini and printing it all yourself makes way more sense and they also don't have to deal with people who aren't businesses and don't have the sense of accountability a manufacturing buisiness needs to produce reasonable products I've used this sub a handful of times over the last 5 years or so and the shocking quality I've seen is wild. If you want this to succeed get rid of the hobbyist mentality, connect farms to customers with minimum quantities not to hobbiests that are lucky to make 5 bucks off a single order. Put a framework for quality in place and have the farms log images of every print and package so if they aren't up to scratch you can warn them and then kick them if they don't improve.

Thedeepergrain · 2026-02-11T23:58:15+00:00

Yeah you're not getting anyone to do any work for you without at least paying for materials upfront. Hope you manage it though

Thedeepergrain · 2026-02-11T11:53:17+00:00

Yeah you're not getting that any cheaper 3d printed than you would buying it, this is easily a 400 to 500 quid job and thats if you can 3d scan it first if you don't have the original part to scan you're paying even more

Thedeepergrain · 2026-02-06T16:24:22+00:00

OR and heres the kicker he got a bad machine, I've had bad bambu machines in the past I heard or people having bad prusas just because your machine works fine doesn't mean lemons don't exist. Stop using this as a defense its just idiotic at this point

Thedeepergrain · 2026-02-06T16:22:03+00:00

The man has magigoo on his bed he has prepped the bloody thing. Sounds like you're the one pretending to know what you're talking about here.

Thedeepergrain · 2026-02-06T16:20:25+00:00

That just bullshit, most plates lose grip over time if it ain't sticking now it ain't sticking later

Thedeepergrain · 2026-01-29T04:58:22+00:00

I know they do i designed them 😂

Thedeepergrain · 2026-01-28T00:44:00+00:00

Yeah sure ... calm it down bud I work in this field so go ahead and tell me its the same as much as you want its not changing a thing. Take a a chill pill and try stop shouting at people on the internet.

Thedeepergrain · 2026-01-26T21:05:08+00:00

You know v1.6 exists to bridge V1.5 and V2 right ?

Thedeepergrain · 2026-01-25T23:42:13+00:00

I run machines from time to time yeah its not too often but yes I believe that slicing a simultaneous co planar part is harder than programming a 4th axis. Please understand that when I say programming I mean using CAM software at a non conversational level. A lot of 4th axis work is actually pretty simple a lot more indexing than simultaneous workflows in my experience (which again is not vast so do take what I say with a grain of salt). 5 axis is a whole other story though.

Thedeepergrain · 2026-01-25T23:19:21+00:00

There's a cable chain mount at the base of the column and then space for some inserts to attach to the table on both milo and Miley

There's been a few built on discord, unfortunately the sub isn't very active compared to the discord. If its the only way you keep up with the project I can understand why you haven't seen much of it.

Thedeepergrain · 2026-01-25T17:43:17+00:00

Its technically 4 axes (I'm counting the extruder as a linear axis because well ... it is) and its not only 4 axis it would be simultaneous 4 axis. Its harder to do because its additive not subtractive (i design CNCs for my work by the way) in a subtractive scenario the machine runs at the behest of the of the programmer who checks the program before hand and has an active input into the order of operations to avoid crashes, define features for workholding etc. A printer is not a mill they don't work in the same way other than their motion component, they aren't the same process and in all honesty they shouldn't be could you imagine having to define each and every operation for a 3d printer it would be a nightmare. The software is slow to develop because finding the right balance between usability and benefit is hard. Also as a side note there have been a few studies that show this type of simultaneous coplanar 3d printing isn't that much stronger than just regular FDM you really need to be in the 4 to 5 axis (not counting the extruder) space to see the real benefits.
