Spent today building a 3d printer, and i have a feeling that tomorrow its gonna be configuring undocumented open source code for it to work, but this delta style looks really cool

Oh @GyroGearloose, looks like you've got a fellow 3D printer builder here :3

Hello there :D
Doing CNCs here :p
Basically the same.

Btw, Pix?

@GyroGearloose i have all the parts for a cnc here, just have vet my rotary tool working to cut the parts

Also thats my coworker, im building this printet inthe office because ion wanna pay for the 200w it eats

the firmware has some parameter to configure, I used marlin, all the parameters are in a file, at least.
I think there are a lot of tutorials, so you can at least make some google search.

delta is the best!!! 😁😁

@mngr weird thing is it works perfectly when i move the axes manually, but when i want to auto level, one of the motors just gets hyper and crashes into the belt

But im gonna go and see if i have more luck with repetier

@ganjaman wow, this is the thing that sound difficult to debug

After marlin I moved to Machinekit on Beaglebone Black (runs on Linux)
It is a bit more complicated but waaaaaay more powerful, a generic machine controller.

Now I am moving to Machinekit on Raspberry with an FPGA connected, but the code on the FPGA is my thesis, so in development 😅

Man... Your like 5 lvls above me... Your current knowledge is one of my objectives.
Also, added you to the herd (you will know what it means one day).
My problem now is just to start doing it... Have the raw materials but no experience mounting structures yet.

Btw, that structure seams to be the best.... 3 arms or 4 arms?
I wanted a cheap one to make the pieces I need but spent all my budject in arduino parts :( also need a new monitor, can't work with only one monitor now)

@GyroGearloose you already tagged me once in the herd ;)

you can see my work on github, profile mngr0
beware: swearing commit messages, and sometimes I use github as a syncronization between my computers...

@mngr ADAI ?? Specific project?

@mngr Btw If you think anyone else should be on the herd just say so. I guess I should make a public list to call people on this kind of projects.
Problem is that people might catch the idea and start spamming herd calls for anything...

@ganjaman Btw you bought the 3d Printer, right?
Care to show the shop page for me to look?

@GyroGearloose it basically is an android app that talks via bluetooth with a raspberry (raspberry code in ADRB)
the rpi should then talk via SPI with a controller, but that part is still to be done...

then adai does some more random graphic shit, done for an exam of android development

@GyroGearloose well, anyone could just copy the list from one of your message...

@skayo did a bot that answer on devrant, if I remember well

@mngr True about the list... But my list is about the people I add, doesn't fit most people. Also, I should have had categories... Now I might call a Linux guy to an Arduino project and vice versa.

Btw, loved the idea...
You can make any kind of controller by using Bluetooth, hardware or software :D
Have a few BTs and Wi-fi modules myself but didn't use them yet.
Hell, I have dozens of modules to try and no ideas... Had so many and now puff.

I actually prefer wifi protocol over bluetooth, in particular the ones for mesh-networking, one interesting project is home automation with esp8266 and painlessmesh

an esp works well to read some buttons, or control a ligth, or read a temperature... Thing like that

Hello @devTea
Missed your likes :p

@GyroGearloose 3 arms, its an anycubic kossel something. 160ish on aliexpress right now if you want one.

@ganjaman I've been seeing them on videos and Docs, They say it is the most practical with the bigger area (guess that 300mm or 400mm Z helps)
Wanted to buy a Hybrid, but there aren't any good...
So... I'll end up buying the 3d Printer.
But I'm going to pay for a woodworker to make one, I bet I'll learn so much watching him that I'll improve 200%.
Also going do to a formation in Electronics
@Condor forgot to tell you...
Because I'm unemployed and the Portuguese Government invests a lot in classes for unemployed, I registered for a 1500h Electronics course, from beginner to Pro. And the Gov pays me to study :p
Love this system, that's how I got my CNC 2 years course for free.
