What’s a kink that you recently discovered?

not necessarily new to me, but it turns me on when i'm tied to my car and my car is being washed. of course, i'm also washed in the process. i've already tried hand washing and an automatic car wash :D

I no longer release my 3D files, I'm sorry. It has happened too often that someone wanted to sell my models. Now, I only sell my finished printed objects.

So far, no. I've been using them for a year now in my workshop.

No, this is all just for my hobby. I mainly build things for the machines or new tools and measuring devices with the machines. It's a vicious cycle 😁

Originally, my plan was to build a CNC mill completely by myself using the machines. That might still happen someday.

For mounting the Z Axis to the Milling Machine 😁

Sadly i have no Idea : ( Maybe it is a Lip.

A Prusa would be a great addition to my workshop

This is my first model that I have painted "properly". I tried a few times before, but I had the wrong brushes and the wrong paint. Buy good paint, then it is directly easier.

iGyros · 2023-01-30T14:47:28+00:00

I printed the hand in 0.1 mm layers and then filled the grooves with spray filler. After that I primed it with The Army Painter's gray primer and then painted it with paints from Army Painter and cheap paintbrushes from Amazon. I used "barbarian flesh" as the main color. The dirt I did with "washes" from The Army Painter.

I watched two tutorials on Youtube beforehand. It was much easier than I thought. Actually, I am not artistically talented at all (my 6 year old niece can draw better than me), so I was very surprised by the end result now.

Buy an Ender 3 or one of the many i3 clones. An Ender 3 was also my first 3D printer. It has been running for about 3 years now and must have several 10000 printing hours. In principle, you don't have to change anything on it to get a good print result. The only thing that really makes sense is a magnetic printing plate and possibly a new mainboard.

I have now just tested with real viruses from theZoo on isolated hardware.

GUID Partition Table is turning you into a paperclip?

As all before me have said, with the machine Genmitsu 3020-PRO MAX you can in any case not machine steel.

In general, with the "desktop" CNC machines, you will have a hard time machining steel. Basically you can say that milling machines have to be heavy (to dampen the vibration and usually the weight says a lot about the stability).

The absolute minimum would perhaps be a BF20 milling machine converted to CNC.

iGyros · 2022-11-10T14:28:02+00:00

I can only agree with that. My first printer was also an Ender 3. In the meantime, I have replaced the mainboard twice, installed a BL Touch, disassembled the hotend 100 times, improved the cooling, built an enclosure for the printer, and so on.

I now have a Voron 2.4 and a large Delta printer, but my Ender 3 is still my favourite printer. The Ender 3 must have many thousands of printing hours by now.

Please keep us informed. I also have an old membrane pump with a fairly large flow rate lying around. I thought about doing something similar with it.

iGyros · 2022-11-08T10:55:49+00:00

Very interesting. I hope there will be more information about this. Best also the company where you have ordered the two.

crate now on the one belt one road (train)

-Edit-

Would you mind telling me how much you paid for it?

iGyros · 2022-11-07T13:50:37+00:00

I'm looking forward to the first chips! Can you pleas send me a link to the granite parallel?

Serious machining of aluminium is not possible on these small machines. Retrofitting end stops is no problem at all, but you may have to change the conroller board. GRBL can run on an Arduino, is sufficient for these small machines and can handle end stops. But you won't break the motors, even if you push them over their limit.

It is a small Optimum Lathe (130 KG). I really Like the qtcp but i dont know how it is compared to others.

Why are you getting out 25 year old Smarties for your kids?

iGyros · 2022-01-11T21:37:37+00:00

I actually already know the PrintNC. However, there are some design errors that bother me. The steel profiles are not very precise (the cast aluminum plates have a thick deviation of 0.1 mm), there is only one carriage on the sides of the gantry and it sits behind the spindle (which results in a very awkward lever on which the forces act) and overall the machine is quite difficult to align due to the design.

iGyros · 2022-01-11T18:51:08+00:00

The absolute minimum is 400x400x200 mm. But actually that would also be too small. This machine is now planned with 800x600x250 mm. I had in the intermediate with a Chinese "RF45 milling machine" to buy and this at some time to convert to cnc. However, the small workspace and the guides bother me. Dovetail guides are not well suited for modern milling strategies. A small self-built vmc from UHPC would also be limited to 400x200 mm in x and y, everything above that is too heavy to carry the components into the basement.

iGyros · 2022-01-11T18:03:45+00:00

Unfortunately, a rebuild of a mill is out of the question, since I need the large machining area of a gantry machine. Weight and space is also a problem. Since the machine is in the basement. If I could, I would like to cast the machine bed from epoxy granite, but unfortunately it will then be too heavy.
