Troublemaker Generation 2
Notes from [1]
TROUBLEMAKER UPGRADE
- metric/imperial version - ability to do both. For USA, Painting on plywood is good for moist environment.
- printer table upgrade - aluminium table with ball screw (linear actuator - possibly) http://www.robotdigg.com/product/31/NEMA17-Threaded-Rod,-350mm-length-Tr8*8-Acme-Leadscrew http://www.hybridstepper-motors.com/photo/pl1735913-hybrid_1_8_degree_linear_stepping_motor_nema_17_with_lead_screw_tr8_x_4mm_p2.jpg - $30 steper with nut and leadscrew
- auto bed leveling explore options and evaluate conductive and button press methods ideally system supports touching the printbed over the whole surface and compensate/print on warped surfaces How to make decision: Acceptability for Cost? Not issue. Effort? Standard bed level - servo + switch - . Conductive - ok, too. Probing whole platform. https://www.s5tech.net/download/file.php?id=132&sid=e7221d93587fe2c98f42acd4ec55c721&mode=view - servo and switch example
- bed heating Peltier for heating - nice trick of cooling down. Faster heating and cooling. Examine price penalty. Standard heating element is now - silicone $20 or pcb $10 versions of heat plate. Both are decent.
- print space enlargement? how much? 12"x12"x12"? For OSE - tall objects - https://www.facebook.com/OpenSourceEcology/photos/a.10151381815921562.574965.66469461561/10153809001696562/?type=1&theater Example of big volume printer - http://ira3d.com/poetry2/?lang=en
- revised, improved and simplified carriages for endless belts - revised precision round rail and bearing mountings
- extruder upgrade - new improved print head with quick mount for different heads for printing or scanning or cutting Rubber Printing Swappable head in this implementation. - dual extrusion - laser toolhead 400$ - http://zmorph3d.com/laser-toolhead/
- as simple as possible to build and put everything together
- new controller https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/alligator-board-professional-3d-printer-controller http://smoothieware.org/
- few small details - lighting, power on button and relay - built in camera?
$6k by August with Documentation. Unscheduled - app for replication. Mid July prototype. When do we want to start? Few weeks. Mid May. Time: Half-time to full. Koruza team does documentation. Bring to Useful Point. Then OSE Uses Instructions. Online document. Forked and published. How do you track the forks? Automatic fork in Github. Like "I made this" option on Thingiverse. Goals: Chance of going viral? Low. Development but not consumer. Serious for prototyping and hacking.
Next step: mid-May - to move forward.
$150Euro/day.
