Requirements
A portable, high performance machine- Performance is defined as (1) plug-and-play, (2) ease of control, (3) scalability, (4) high print quality, and (5) printing in all materials
- Uses high temperature, 3 mm extruder, opimized for both fast printing (E3D Volcano Nozzle) as well as flexible filaments (short and supported extrusion distance)
- Easy to source parts
- 3D printable frame that still allows for high stability
- Stability of 3D printed frame may be assured via mini rebar plus concrete inside the pipes if needed
- 8" bed for minimum viable product
- extensible to 12" bed after 8" version is optimized
- Includes a full Design Guide
- Includes a FreeCAD workbench for design.
- Has well-developed cable management
- Has quick exchange toolheads via magnetic mount and complete unpluggability of print head using a single connector.
Control Requirements - Print Cluster
- Eliminate the laptop from being needed by sending files to an SD card on the RAMPS. This is the most secure way to control a printer - by eliminating dependence on a USB connection.
- Allow for monitoring of print job (video cam, progress)
- Allow to abort jobs remotely in case of failure detection
- Allow for remote control via the web (sales of products + integration with open source microfactory)
Value Proposition
- Construction Set via universal Axis, D3D Workbench in FreeCAD, and a Design Guide.
- Industrial applications by size of prints and any material
- easy enclosure for semi-heated chamber
Details
- Double Connector may be used with a 6 or 12-pair cable
- Gauge 22 Wire Ampacity is 5A enclosed, so it is suitable. It is 2.5A with 4-6 cores.
- DIY Cat5 splitter -[1]
