Re: 3D Printing in 3 Dimensions

In milling you have the exact same problem with the exact same solution. It was done in CAM software around 25 years ago. ;)

Haha ... Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed both the simulation and the music.
That's going to be a part of my next project.

Re: BBB with BeBoPr

I have seen this video a few weeks ago and think LinuxCNC is the way to go. It's sure going into my next Rostock. That's a nice cape for the BBB here is another great board http://www.thing-printer.com/product/replicape/ . I would have played around with LinuxCNC but for a long time you couldn't get ...

VirtuMax Build

After building the real deal in February ( haven't posted any pictures so far ), I started this little project the "VirtuMax" a Rostock Max simulation. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wqx5T3KoScA[/youtube] I might do some more window dressing in the future or maybe not. The Video is printing ...

Re: Control Board wish list

Almost forgot... Ethernet connectivity! Wireless? or is a cable okay? I was also planning on using a processor with floating point. Wireless you will not have a fast enough data transfer to keep up with the g-code transfer in line codes the only way is to have a look ahead feature in software which ...

Re: Control Board wish list

I would do a shield ( Arduino ) or cape ( beaglebone ) rather than a controller board. It's easier to upgrade the controller as they become faster and with more features year after year. It's cheaper to replace in case things break. You may have a larger selection of boards to chose from: Beaglebone ...

Re: G0 and G1 dwell. . .

This is a weird fix. G0 is causing problems and the fix is not using G0's anymore !? I was wondering this the other day when I couldn't find any G0 in Slicer but seem them in Cura. G0 is a valid command and shouldn't cause any pause in a motion. I would suspect that there is a problem in the ...

Re: What to do with the last lines of GCode.

I never noticed it and never had a problem so far (14.02 RC5). It Looks like an uninitialized string to me.
If you have a problem running it , I just would delete this section with notepad. For sure this is not suppose to happen.

Re: Repetier 091 for Rostock MAX now available

Is there any particular reason why "ARC_SUPPORT" is disabled in Configuration.h ?

Not that's very important for STL-files except a slicer would have arc-fitting but there might be other sources which have G02/G03.

Re: First print, can't get up to temp to start job

Did you wrap the heating resistors with enough aluminum foil to have a good thermal transfer ?

The cube looks great :)
