Hello,
I found a real good belt tensioner, that you can print out. When I add that, with a V6 E3D Print Head, there's two improvements moving toward a better design. I liked the new fastener for the type of print head and will be getting one soon. I wonder if I can make it all fit the way the old one did. I might need different spacers and different screws. At this point, I want to replace the carriage with the new head because, wear and tear from mounting and dismounting already once. I've found that the aluminum spacers and the bolts that I can get, don't get long enough to keep that head up high enough. I know you could mount spacers on top of spacers, and use six screws, and raise that up another stage as it were via 2 melamine platforms. But, the V6 head, isn't easy to put over the carriage.
A banana pi is practically a whole motherboard. It would be kinda funny, if your 3D printer could double as a home computer, and surf the internet, even stream movies. Ha ha ha . But, then you could just surf the internet, download an stl file and hit print. The first Cloud Enabled 3D Printer.
I'm thinking that the Version 3, should be a more universal 3D printer, and built to host a list of print heads and cover a range of materials. It may not seem like it but, using lasers and nanopowders, isn't really that much different. I could see how an optical fiber could carry all of the light energy you needed to weld a spot. A chamber would be separate and so it would include the option of a environmentally controlled chamber. If the motors, and the wires leading to them are the bridge to the chamber, it could be literally air tight, and that is ideal for a laser printer. But, you'd just be using what they call an optical [url=http://www.edmundoptics.com/optics/fiber-optics/fiber-optic-tapers-faceplates/1599/]Taper.[/url] You'd mount as many high watt LEDs behind the wide end as you could fit. After the reduction, you follow that with a lens, to stuff it into an optical fiber bundle to carry it to it's target.

), I'm thinking about a way to modify the effector plate to allow quick-attach tooling to go from squirting plastic/chocolate/ceramic clay to the laser-etching head to the dial indicator to the simple pen mount for drawing, etc.
