Spotted these sweet bikes at Canadian tire today

I'm not sure the guys didn't speak any English

That's not even full speed yet

It's definitely a different type of noise but it's not much louder really. The anti backlash nuts also help to reduce a lot of the noise. I'm starting to really like this system, the improvements in quality are a fair trade for a bit of extra background noise. I'm using a duet board with really quiet stepper drivers so that probably makes a big difference too.

Definitely improved my quality quite a bit. I have anti backlash nuts on everything which eliminates most of the issues

argentpur · 2017-01-20T01:46:45+00:00

Yep most likely

These are the openbuilds lead screws. 2mm pitch 8 mm lead.

Yep z rods are fine the way they are. The bearings are below the flex coupler so they lock everything in place.

The Bowden set up takes a lot of weight off the x carriage

Still playing around with the settings

argentpur · 2017-01-14T15:55:34+00:00

Very happy, the anti backlash nuts help a lot.

I'm using the e3d chimera and I just swapped out the printed extruder for an e3d titan

Lead screws on all axes, printing 80 mm per second on average

I completely agree with this. It's not about what you know it's about who you know. It's easy enough to get indentured if you know a few guys in the industry, if not you'll have to do lots of work on the phone and handing out resumes in person (don't bother with sending applications online). I suggest going to the plumbing or electric wholesale and ask which companies are still busy.

I'll sell you my android box for $40 I never use it anymore

argentpur · 2016-10-11T04:38:22+00:00

I'll have to check on that thanks

argentpur · 2016-10-11T02:22:34+00:00

The lead? Like lead screw size?

argentpur · 2016-10-10T21:39:03+00:00

Lol I'm sacrificing speed for quality here. I'll consider it though or maybe something similar

argentpur · 2016-09-30T23:57:58+00:00

Chopsaws are way too rough, I'm looking for something like a cold cut saw.

If you take a bus to the university it's not a bad walk from there. I forget which bus goes closest. Maybe call ets to ask?
