Re: Photo Lamp

Yup, it is lasersaber (I gave him a shout out in my YouTube video accompanying my "make" on Thingiverse.) I'm not running it on a crystal cell, I have a battery in the compartment underneath.

Re: Photo Lamp

Though, in fairness, currently the Mark II is mesmerized by this:

Photo Lamp - Makes for a happy wife!

I made this lamp: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:891904

I love the little circuit I built to control it with my cell. Basically this thing is on every day.... I believe it's very attractive, so does my Mark II!

Re: Controller options?

That's kind of cool. The BeBoPr++ seems a little not well thought out in my opinion. 4 stepper drivers on board. If you want 5, you need to get 1 of 2 different boards that each provide 5 drivers and override the drivers on the BeBoPr++. So now you have the cabling and complexity to just pick up 1 ...

Re: Controller options?

LinuxCNC or Machine Kit - I believe the real time stuff is all taken care of. Yes people use it for delta printers, and hexapods and all kinds of cool stuff! SeeMeCNC even has a printer running on a BBB https://www.facebook.com/seemecnc scroll down a few posts. They used a BeBoPr++ https://www ...

Re: Controller options?

My only experience is with the BBB with the BeBoPr++. Configuration for me was not problematic as Bas made the HAL already, so I just needed to configure the ini. I plan to make a YouTube how-to video in the next one-two weeks because I find there's a gap in the 5-10min lenth how to arena. I'll ...

Re: Controller options?

I use a BeagleBone Black with the BeBoPr++ running LinuxCNC in the MachineKit image. I agree that the hardware has "limited" vendors, however, Bas is very responsive. In fact just today I emailed him because I blew a fuse with my SeeMeCNC heated bed running too high a current from my power supply ...

Re: BraggBot, a DIY delta

I saw some people wrapping their kits in plastic. I'm sure this works great, but the sexy factor just isn't there for me. I bought "Lexan Sheet - Polycarbonate - .060" - 1/16" Thick, Clear, 24" x 24" Nominal" from Amazon. They also sell a cutter for it... 3-5 passes on the polycarbonate against a ...

Re: How to get your abs prints to stay stuck

never had a problem with ABS. i just use the purple elmer's glue sticks like it says in the manual cut to 80-90c & then drop the temp after the first few layers. every once and awhile i just toss the build plate in the dish washer; comes out perfectly clean! (PVA doesnt get on with water) when a ...

So recently I got into the whole cheap computer thing (about a year ago) and I purchased a BeagleBone ...

BraggBot, a DIY delta

I designed this in FreeCAD. For structure and linear motion I used MakeBlock (blue parts) and a friends CNC machine (naked aluminum). The hot end is the B3 Innovations PICO. The heated bed is SeeMeCNC and the extruder is the EZStruder from SeeMeCNC. Well, let me know what you think! In action: https ...
