I’m really excited today because I can say that the printer is finally printing at the quality I dreamed of when I started this project. It took us (me and Pavel) a total of 3 years and 4 months (which sounds terrible). It means several thousand hours with huge swings
I’m glad to see that the large amount of time and effort that has gone into the accuracy of the scanning and printing itself has paid off. Here are some measurements that show surprisingly good results, deviating from the ideal dimensions by only hundredths of a millimeter. The printer thus
The software and hardware tuning of the printer seems to be entering its final stages. So it’s a good time to try printing some functional parts. In addition to changes in the slicing math, I also tested a new mechanical solution to remove repetitive z-axis artifacts caused by the ball
This is the first test print of the year! Changes and improvements of our slicer have finally resulted in an improvement in the surface quality of the parts. But despite this, I am still not satisfied with the surface quality in the z-axis.It seems that both mechanical and another software
The winter nights are long and so not only testing but also assembly instructions are moving forward. I’m trying to cover all aspects of build, which is quite time consuming. I hope it will be understandable and the build will be really fun and informative. To be honest – it’s
