Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I started a sub that had 400k users and was around for 10 years. /r/functionalprint

After I made it read only, admins they just up and gave it to some rando mod that had no experience in that sub at all.
So it doesn't surprise me the mods of a lot of subs have absolutely NO experience in the subs they are modding.

Screw Reddit.

There are a ton of dangerous 3D printing happening. Especially people doing shit that's pressurized.

You got a Lemmy community nowadays?

Built my 3D printer from scratch back in 2013 because prebuilt was so expensive, lot of money later it worked well but now it's in the garage waiting for IDK something.

Yes,

https://kbin.social/m/functionalprint

most lemmy's can find it.

But it appears your particular lemmy (mindoki.com) isn't federated with kbin or something.

It should look like https://lemmy.mindoki.com/c/[email protected]

If fact, mindoki is missing a LOT of communities in the fediverse.

Heey thanks!

Yeah I'm trying to figure it all out and after Lemmy itself there is kbin, Mastodon, meisskey, pixfeed and so many others ...

Subbed, I'll try to figure out how to surf kbin and sub what's interesting, my instance has like n<10 users :-)

Cheers

BTW, is 0.3mm still okay or should I rebuild it (again) :-D Just kidding, I'd just like to get it up running ^^

I'm still rocking 0.4,

But I've since upgraded my system over the years.. it's now a custom COREXY with a E3D Titan Aero.
The board's now a Duet 2 Wifi and a BLTouch probe.

So now it runs like a $8000 machine and it's only cost me ~$1000 over the years.

CoreXY FTW! I didn't know anything about 3D printers but offloading motors seemed such a good idea, also allowing my stupidly overweight feeding NEMA (it's like 1/3 of a kilo lol I thought pushing the plastic needed waaay more power than it does) to just sit there! Learned a lot using a crappy extruder (heat creep aaaar) when it snapped I got the E3D V6 (IIRC) Titan was more complicated or more expensive :-) and the heat possibilities made even the cheapest rolls print well with some fans.

I'm using the Marlin board with the Atmel/AVR well euh the standard stuff & and just a usb cable from my PC which is (plus not enough time / laziness) what is now what's stopping me from using it. Sure, could try to install all on a laptop and walk there etc etc but well... I'd love to make it independent.

Yeah quality wise, it bridged and made flexible prints, for some <=1.000€. Add a thousand hours work for free though :-D

If your still rockin an old Marlin board,

A raspberry pi + Klipper is the way to go.

It offloads all the super fast calculations to the Pi. You get all the latest linear advance and input shaping functions, and your Pi can wireless I believe, running Octoprint.

The Duet 2 Wifi had all that built in, and Klipper wasn't around at the time I picked up the Duet.

Thanks, I'll check that out, if I can lay my hands on a raspberry not exceeding the cost of a small car :-)

Let me help you upgrade your numbers: your instance now has less than 10 000 users.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

As it should :-)

That's cool, I did the exact same thing in 2013... http://www.shadowram.ca/

JHead + Greg Wades Extruder with a RAMPS 1.4 board... retrofit an old Cartesian bot that was scrapped.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Waah, answered your other post, I definitely think I did my way definitely differently mechanically (which is not better, I seriously did a lot of miscalculations, some I was able to remove, some alleviate, but some not), but I went with the RAMPS 1.4 board, seems like all roads lead to Rome heh.
