All 3 robots running

[Brent Dowell]

Well, been a tough couple weeks for the robots. The y axis stepper on my am8 self destructed and took the control board with it.

The 99$ laser on my cnc machine, while it worked well while it worked, started to die.

So I had to replace some parts and went back to a Jtech 2.8 laser, which seems much stronger than that '6 watt' laser. Live and learn.

At any rate, I have them all running jobs right now monitoring them with octoprint and cncjs.

Oh, and I'm starting to work on my next printer, a 300x300mm machine. Got the heated bed and some other parts in.

your having way to much fun...lol

I need to re-do the bed on one of my printers and change out the nozzle on the other. Probably will update to the latest of Marlin on both while I'm at it.

Another thing I did was the auto pid tune. Well worth the time to look it up.

why so small....lol you can get heated beds on amazon up to 500x500...lol

 

[Brent Dowell]

Not enough room really. 500x500 would be a bit unwieldy in my shop right now. As it is, I'll probably have to redo my cabinet I use as an enclosure for the 300x300.

But that is pretty significantly bigger than the anet 18, about 46 percent bigger in square mm.

And honestly, I haven't really run into very many instances, other than that case for vaughn, where it's been that big of an issue.

But looking forward to seeing the house building 3d printer you're getting, LOL!

Looking good, Brent!
