Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Hi,

My name is Carl and I have just taken delivery of an Orion Delta. Have just about got it all setup and have done a couple of test prints. Some have been successful and others not but I know a lot of this is due to my lack of experience. Currently, using the PLA that came with the printer but I have ordered some ABS.

In the rest of my spare time I built robots and also develop software on the Nao Robot to help children with autism. Am hoping to be able to print some cool accessories for Nao with the new printer.

Looking forward to absorbing all the knowledge here and improving my prints.

Oh and does anyone else have problems getting their prints off the glass bed? I am sure I am just not preparing it correctly.

Carl

Hi Carl and welcome to the forum!
Thank you for helping the children that need your help.
As far as getting the parts off the bed we would need to know what filament you are using,
if you are using a glue stick or other adhesive and the bed temperatures.
Feel free to ask any question you need to.
Happy Printing!

Wow, I'm glad you joined - my wife and I have been fascinated by the Nao since we first saw it. I'd love to get one in the future!

How did you get involved with the Nao and how does it help with Autism? The whole field of robotics is of particular interest to us so we'd love to see pics of what you're doing and hear any stories you have

Hi Eagle,

I am printing in PLA at present (ABS on order) and I was using glue witha bed temp of 70 degrees C. I think I have worked out my issue. I was too impatient. The last few prints I have done this evening I have left to cool on the bed and they are far easier to remove.

Hi McSlappy.

I have been a Nao Developer, on their developer program, for the last 3 1/2 years. I also co-founded their UK user group and the user group has arrange 2 hackathons and this year we are arranging an international conference. I have been very lucky to be able to have my own Nao and recently a new Nao as well (so the two are like brothers and spend a lot of time together).

I am not sure of this is allowed but you can find out a lot more about the work with autistic children on my blog at http://www.alt-view.co.uk, although it is in dire need of some new posts.

If you and your wife want a Nao, then the recent price drop makes it a lot more affordable. And yes I recently started selling them just as you have started Rostocks lol. If you have a passion you have to live by it

That blows me away. I've seen pictures of the Nao, but that was about it. Just checking out some info and videos to see exactly what the bot can do is incredible. As Slappy mentioned, that's great that you joined.
