i made these, i used some carbon fiber arrow shafts i got from a sports store. Im using s3d, no retractions, no lifts and going slow.

Would it be possible to get the STL file that S3D created and the outside diameter of the arrow shafts? Thanks Bubbasnow.

the arrow shaft is .3"

the system i am using is like a retaining sleeve to hold the magnet in.

Excellent, just what I was looking for. Thank you so much.
I have one more question before you get mad enough not to talk to me again.
Is the effector you show one of the ones that has been posted on the forum or is it your design?
You already know what my next question will be, the STL. Thank you Bubbasnow.

Not posted yet. I haven't finalized anything yet

Thanks for the other files!

note that these are for this 'man sized' printer not rostockMax

Noted, but the rod ends will work with the proper effector for the Max, and what I was looking for is the rod end that
I could print correctly. I have been having a bear of a time printing the rod ends that would fit the Traxas balls.

and progress

yup thats a yard stick on the build height, soon ill hook up the electronics and get to cracking with linuxCNC on my BBB

Bubbasnow - What cape are you going with on this? I just ordered a CRAMPS PCB and intend to populate it later on when I get around to building my very own "man sized printer" like yours. Basically I'm gonna emulate ya. Would you mind sharing files etc with me later if and when I get everything soldered together and tested?

i got a bebopr plus plus, yea once i get this thing dialed in ill post my stuff

You should glue the yardstick on permanently; it's an interesting trim piece, plus answers the first question about size. Besides, it could be handy for measuring the odd item.

I'm a bit glad to see now that the printer isn't as gigantic as I once thought it was. In the first pictures, the effector arms looked crazy long and flimsy, but the later pictures/video now looks like an oversized kossel. To me the original was humongous... but now it looks reasonable. Looks good too. Can't wait to see what it's capable of.

It's alive!

Why did you mount the limit switches so low? It looks like you have more height available.

Purely for test.. I didn't want the carriage blowing past and ramming the top of the frame

important dimensions

movement with linuxCNC and BBB w/BEBOPR++

That looks awesome dude!

Please give us final dimensions on build area. I might want to duplicate this. Again, awesome work. It looks very beautiful.

rethinking the endstop adjustments

I can't see it but geesh, you are the maker I want to be...

The video is Private. Can you fix it so we can watch it? Thanks!
