Ontopic The 3D printing thread

Damned Ultimaker revised Cura's default settings, so my Taulman 910 prints were looking like melted ice cream instead of gears.

Fixed it finally, but holy crap. I chased the hell out of that problem. Thought the filament was moist, so I got a filament dryer, put it in the oven, and finally ordered another spool (which clearly was packed in Florida, because holy crap was it making rice crispy noises when it was feeding).

FYI, if you're printing things with detail in Nylon and/or Alloy 910, make sure you set Combing Mode to "ALL". That really nailed it for me.
 
Good to know. Haven't printed with 910 in a while, and I know all about Cura changing shit without notice. Like enabling tree supports by default...

I saw a commercial the other day for a “3D Laser Printer”, and it looked less industrial than what I’ve seen you guys using.

Is it going to also be part of the crack-like industry that inkjet printers are? Buy the printer cheap then sell your children to buy medium?

I remember seeing someone’s idea of the kitchen of the future, and there were no stored dishes. Everything was printed and recycled. That wouldn’t work if the plastic junk gets too expensive. ?
 
That was how filament 3D printers started out, expensive ass proprietary filament. Then there was a race to the bottom once home use started to become the norm.
Right now the powdered metal stuff is expensive, but it should start dropping

Tonight on the shit of thesus: a Hatchet man (whatever the fuck that is) that you can hang from your rearview mirror.

Friend of ours got a new boyfriend, and apparently he's a jugaloo. He heard I had a 3D printer and he says "huh he got a 3D printer he can make me a hatchetman I can hang from my mirror it'll be awesome" ...guess I've got a job to do.

I'm taking bets on what kind of car the kid drives, and whether his mom owns it.

Any idea how cheaply one of these could be made?

Filawarmer for Filament - The Virtual Foundry

The Filawarmer comes pre-programmed to 60°C. This is perfect to prevent breakage for all metal filaments and PLA.

The controller they're using is a cheap "STC-1000" which you can buy for 5 bucks off aliexpress. Homebrewers love the things, lots of information describing how to hook them up.

As for the hot tube, dunno for sure how they've got it built. I'm guessing there's a length of 1/4" copper tube in there, with a heating cartridge and the sensor for the STC bonded to it.
 
Think you could wrangle up a possible parts list for the hot end? The filament is going to kill me, but I've already got a better source for refractory material for sintering.

This fucker is supposed to be blue, right? Not red?

Same god damned problem I had with my Delta.

I'm not sure that a ribbon cable gets the pin alignments right between the ICSP headers. Just use the female->female individual jumpers.

Also, you should only have to use that setup once, to flash the bootloader. After that, you can use the USB serial interface straight to the 1284p board.
 
This whole printing metal objects thing blows my mind. You guys are awesome, and in an awesome period of time.

I think the problem is at another level. I have the correct driver for this board, I've checked pinout. Even if the ribbon cable were not plugged in that light should turn blue once it is plugged into my laptop which would signify that it is recognized.
When I check the connected devices, there is nothing on any COM port which would show that this thing is hooked up.

I think, back when I was trying to get the Smoothieboard working, that I set a hard setting for arduino boards to come in on and now its borked.

Heres the same chip plugged in on a random video.

I have no input specific to that board unfortunately.

Don't have any arduino unos hanging out?
