Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

This seems to be the repository for the Metal Max kit, so with many thanks to Brian for posting his files earlier, I will add these for those who wish to use them as they may. I'm planning on machining it out of aluminum as I work in a CNC machine shop. hey ZakRabbit are you selling them also? How ...

G90/G91 are from industrial CNC machines, which don't exactly have extruders. So they affect all the axis's. But the Extruder isn't exactly an axis. Nor is it a co-ordinate system. The closest I can think of is spindle speed. It's a tooling parameter, rather than a machine parameter really. So ther...

At what speed do you have the macros running? Both rapid and feed can cause missed steps as you approach horizontal on any given arm as I understand it.

I don't want to know about tensioning, but you could always double up on each tower...

Just reinforces the old adage: "you want something done right, sometimes you gotta do it yourself." Great work!

That. Is. Awesome!

Beautiful writeup! Thank you for sharing your experience!

G code is what the printer uses for actual moves, G1=printing move, G0=rapid move, etc...

Have you looked at CRAMPS instead of the Replicape? Any thoughts between the two?

A stepper motor that has .9 deg/step vs the "stock" 1.8 deg/step will have more steps/mm which may help minimize the banding.

It honestly didn't occur to me to install it this way until I had the adapter cut. I meant no disrespect at all.

Here are a couple pieces I'm going to try out with my metal max frame. I was planning on using Brian's Fly 'N Strude, but the fact that I chose a geared stepper kinda makes that a no-go. It's a two-piece design, with an adapter and top plate. The adapter raises the top plate 2.5mm (.100") above...

It might be naive of me, but it seems to me that the BBB will enable us to upgrade the firmware (BBB itself) and hardware (capes and in some instances the step drivers themselves) independently. While more complex for initial setup, it is more flexible in the long run.

I may just have to take you up on one.

The CRAMPS cape has provisions for 6 modular steppers, and from what I understand, there are Beaglebone specific releases of Debian/embedded Machinekit. I believe Octoprint is the interface used, I'm not sure if that's what mhackney was referring to with the non-integrated projects. https://designma...

Came out beautifully! Thank you for sharing!

It makes me very sad indeed they did not get back to you in time to remedy the situation, I agree there is no excuse to treat a "regular" customer with silence, let alone someone who's put as much effort into furthering the development as you have. I'm looking forward to see where you go f...

626Pilot, I wonder if you reached out to Arthur Wolf over at Robotseed if they could help you. He seems to know what it is that's going on at Uberclock, and he's very active on the smoothieware.org forum. I know you've put a TON of work into this and have been a huge proponent of Smoothie (it was yo...

Great to have you here! I'm in the OC, I know there are a few more around here.

I keep coming back to the Beaglebone, but I can't seem to find anything current as far as projects/users talking about them. I'm super newb to this, so maybe I'm looking in all the wrong places.

Thanks for the education! It turned out beautiful!

It looks as if there's no actual rudder, is that just because it's printed in the clear, or is that because it's designed for what I've known as "U-Controll?"

The guys at Robotseed.com are quite aware of the situation and are more than happy to help. I can't say what they'll do about the faulty board, but they will help us out here in the 'Sates in the meantime. What is their relation to Uberclock and Smoothieboard? I suppose they're the European distrib...

I need to wait for wheels froм Openbuilds, load cells from China (for holding heated bed and autocalibration), design some parts to hold viki2, controller, etc., lasercut enclosure - all this should be done soon, in about a month. But. I need Smoothieboard 2 Pro, it is unclear when beta-test would ...

It's just me?

All but the last one come up as "no longer available."
