Gator board mills well on the CNC machine. https://photos.app.goo.gl/VqLipNSTqZvHqo6HA   Non-planar Layer FDM printing What??? Relax, it’s just printing one layer with multiple thicknesses at different points. The thickness of the layer isn’t the same across the whole layer. You can change that. It’s a bit of G-code hacking, aka scripting.  Interesting article with code you can use on most printers. https://hackaday.com/2016/07/20/3d-printering-g-code-post-processing-with-perl/   Some slicers have a way to run a post processing script after your object is sliced. The script takes the sliced .gcode file as input and does some extra work. The resulting .gcode file is what you print. This author uses Slic3r, pronounced slick-three-Arrrrr, like a pirate, not slicer, because that would be confusing.  The author’s previous article is here: https://hackaday.com/2016/07/20/3d-printering-g-code-post-processing-with-perl/   Good TPU upgrade for CR-10 I don’t follow this guy on youtube because his style kind of annoys me, but he had a really good tutorial that I found to work well. Chep 3D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az7pysnV_MY&amp;t=3s Check out the video and print this part: Using this model, print yourself a new extruder plate: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2144277 Plug in a little piece of bowden tube on the motor side and trim into a snake mouth shape with the clippers that came with the printer.  This really works well. I was having trouble printing red Ninja Flex brand TPU previously, even with the capricorn bowden tube upgrade. TPU was printing in green somewhat OK, but now it prints almost like PLA if very slowly. 10mm/s is the good printing speed. Chep also suggest to use multiple shells, or inner walls. This is not infill, but the wall thickness. Depending on your slicer it may be called perimeters, or shells, or wall thickness. On slic3r, they call it Vertical Shells.    This is the one I printed: https://photos.app.goo.gl/xEg6NnaV9YJu831AA   Material Specification Comparison http://www.abtecinc.com/custom-plastic-injection-molding/materials/ I was looking at the many different new materials available on the e3e-online.com site and wondered what these acronyms meant. This link is a good short descriptions of the various plastics you’ll see as filaments used in 3D printing. This is an injected plastics reference list but uses many of the plastics we use to print as well.

You can even upload the parts list to digikey.com and it will create a cart with what you need for any particular board.  http://www.kevindarrah.com/wiki/index.php?title=LatchPowerCircuit   Lots of low power Arduino and Esp8266 tutorials and electronics theory info there.

Relax, it’s just printing one layer with multiple thicknesses at different points. The thickness of the layer isn’t the same across the whole layer. You can change that. It’s a bit of G-code hacking, aka scripting. Interesting article with code you can use on most printers. <a href="https://hackaday.com/2016/07/20/3d-printering-g-code-post-processing-with-perl/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://hackaday.com/2016/07/20/3d-printering-g-code-post-processing-with-perl/</a> Some slicers have a way to run a post processing script after your object is sliced. The script takes the sliced .gcode file as input and does some extra work. The resulting .gcode file is what you print. This author uses Slic3r, pronounced slick-three-Arrrrr, like a pirate, not slicer, because that would be confusing. The author’s previous article is here: <a href="https://hackaday.com/2016/07/20/3d-printering-g-code-post-processing-with-perl/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://hackaday.com/2016/07/20/3d-printering-g-code-post-processing-with-perl/</a> Good TPU upgrade for CR-10 I don’t follow this guy on youtube because his style kind of annoys me, but he had a really good tutorial that I found to work well.

This really works well. I was having trouble printing red Ninja Flex brand TPU previously, even with the capricorn bowden tube upgrade. TPU was printing in green somewhat OK, but now it prints almost like PLA if very slowly. 10mm/s is the good printing speed. Chep also suggest to use multiple shells, or inner walls. This is not infill, but the wall thickness. Depending on your slicer it may be called perimeters, or shells, or wall thickness. On slic3r, they call it Vertical Shells. This is the one I printed: <a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/xEg6NnaV9YJu831AA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://photos.app.goo.gl/xEg6NnaV9YJu831AA</a> Material Specification Comparison <a href="http://www.abtecinc.com/custom-plastic-injection-molding/materials/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.abtecinc.com/custom-plastic-injection-molding/materials/</a> I was looking at the many different new materials available on the <a href="http://e3e-online.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">e3e-online.com</a> site and wondered what these acronyms meant.

Seems to be a self taught professional maker and arts instructor. Combination of well made how to videos about metal work, leather work, knife, furniture, cabinet, sign and special projects making/building.

This guy shows you how to make rings from meteorites, super conductor, carbon fiber, wood, and glowing epoxy. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ82SlfYWJag5794tE64ZZA/featured Not only does he tell you and show you exactly how he makes each type of ring and where he gets his supplies, Patrick also sells supplies and specialty ring making tools. If you watch his earlier videos he links the suppliers that he now resells.    This is the UV glow powder he uses. https://www.technoglowproducts.com/glow-in-the-dark-powder/ Shine a UV light on it for 30 seconds or more and it glows for hours. It’s supposed to be rechargeable for 10 years. You can get it from Patricks site or from the manufacturer. I bought some green and yellow to mix with epoxy. I can’t way to use this stuff.  You can mix the kind for epoxy into clear/translucent epoxy, or sprinkle the regular crystals onto something and drip CA glue on it. Then epoxy or cover with something clear and the thing glows. They even give you a UV flashlight to charge up your order. I left my bag of powder on my car seat during the day and that night it was glowing. You can charge it up in the sun, or any UV LED or other UV light source.    New program to try: FreeCAD https://freecadweb.org/wiki/About_FreeCAD   This is a cross platform fast moving free CAD software. I’m looking into this one mostly because it’s native to Linux and I don’t really want to run Windows just for one program. Also, it’s a desktop system so none of the cloud weirdness I was getting with 360. Somebody tell me again, why I should have to have an internet connection to use my desktop CAD program. Tired of that junk!   The program is segmented internally by a set of “Workbenches”. You choose a workbench for the task your doing. If you’re working with a triangle mesh model, you don’t need to have architectual CAD tools in your immediate toolbar.    A workbench is like a view of certain tools you would use to work on particular projects. Choose the Arch workbench to show toolbars for Architectual design. Choose the Mesh Design workbench to work with 3D mesh .STL type models. There’s even a mode for OpenSCAD, the programmatic 3D design tool.    Then there are workbenches for the normal 3D model making using sketches and most of the tools you might use in Fusion 360, or Onshape.com. Or you can just use a workbench with all toolbars and customize the tools you want to work with. There are so many toolbar options it makes sense to choose one of the predefined setups.    I say fast moving because the development is ongoing similar to blender. As a result I’ve heard several tutorial presenters say that there are odd quirks you might run into once in a while because something’s been updated. You may need to install a previous version if it’s something too annoying to work around. I haven’t made a single object in this yet, so I don’t know how annoying the quirks are. Watching a few tutorials, one of the presenters  had to draw a part a different way because of the way an update caused a glitch in how a line was joined in a sketch. Nothing broke, you just had to think of a different way to draw what you were thinking about.    Printer upgrade – Capricorn bowden tube: https://photos.app.goo.gl/yoxYoU5VnrMUYJV58 https://www.captubes.com/index.html#products This is a hard upgrade to really quantify. It’s supposed to be a more slick surface, better heat resistance, and also a more precise 2mm inner diameter teflon tube. The slickness and closer tolerance more precise 2mm inner diameter is supposed to help your TPU slip more easily and not get pinched in the tube.  It works as far as I can tell, and I haven’t had any issues with it. I’ve printed green Ninjaflex filament OK, however the red seems to jam more for some reason. I was able to print Sainsmart TPU previously but I feel like I can print a little faster with it using this tubing compared to before.  I was able to print Sainsmart TPU with my bowden CR10 machine, but Ninjaflex always jammed with the generic white tubing. Now at least the green works well enough.    So far I’ve been printing TPU pretty successfully. I do like things to be as correct as possible especially when there are so many variables to account for when 3D printing. This is one thing less to worry about. Maybe if I were running a really long bowden tube I would notice more of a benefit. As it is, the numbers say it’s better in all the right places and it’s not terribly expensive. If you like precision equipment and are replacing the unknown origin Chinese sourced generic white tubing in your bowden rig, you may as well replace it with something nicer. Besides, who doesn’t like the word lubricity?   Quieting the CR10 These few changes make printing surprisingly and noticeably quieter.

You can mix the kind for epoxy into clear/translucent epoxy, or sprinkle the regular crystals onto something and drip CA glue on it. Then epoxy or cover with something clear and the thing glows. They even give you a UV flashlight to charge up your order. I left my bag of powder on my car seat during the day and that night it was glowing. You can charge it up in the sun, or any UV LED or other UV light source. New program to try: FreeCAD <a href="https://freecadweb.org/wiki/About_FreeCAD" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://freecadweb.org/wiki/About_FreeCAD</a> This is a cross platform fast moving free CAD software. I’m looking into this one mostly because it’s native to Linux and I don’t really want to run Windows just for one program. Also, it’s a desktop system so none of the cloud weirdness I was getting with 360. Somebody tell me again, why I should have to have an internet connection to use my desktop CAD program. Tired of that junk! The program is segmented internally by a set of “Workbenches”. You choose a workbench for the task your doing. If you’re working with a triangle mesh model, you don’t need to have architectual CAD tools in your immediate toolbar. A workbench is like a view of certain tools you would use to work on particular projects. Choose the Arch workbench to show toolbars for Architectual design. Choose the Mesh Design workbench to work with 3D mesh .STL type models. There’s even a mode for OpenSCAD, the programmatic 3D design tool. Then there are workbenches for the normal 3D model making using sketches and most of the tools you might use in Fusion 360, or <a href="http://Onshape.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Onshape.com</a>. Or you can just use a workbench with all toolbars and customize the tools you want to work with. There are so many toolbar options it makes sense to choose one of the predefined setups. I say fast moving because the development is ongoing similar to blender. As a result I’ve heard several tutorial presenters say that there are odd quirks you might run into once in a while because something’s been updated. You may need to install a previous version if it’s something too annoying to work around. I haven’t made a single object in this yet, so I don’t know how annoying the quirks are. Watching a few tutorials, one of the presenters  had to draw a part a different way because of the way an update caused a glitch in how a line was joined in a sketch. Nothing broke, you just had to think of a different way to draw what you were thinking about. Printer upgrade – Capricorn bowden tube: <a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/yoxYoU5VnrMUYJV58" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://photos.app.goo.gl/yoxYoU5VnrMUYJV58</a> <a href="https://www.captubes.com/index.html#products" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.captubes.com/index.html#products</a> This is a hard upgrade to really quantify. It’s supposed to be a more slick surface, better heat resistance, and also a more precise 2mm inner diameter teflon tube. The slickness and closer tolerance more precise 2mm inner diameter is supposed to help your TPU slip more easily and not get pinched in the tube. It works as far as I can tell, and I haven’t had any issues with it. I’ve printed green Ninjaflex filament OK, however the red seems to jam more for some reason. I was able to print Sainsmart TPU previously but I feel like I can print a little faster with it using this tubing compared to before. I was able to print Sainsmart TPU with my bowden CR10 machine, but Ninjaflex always jammed with the generic white tubing. Now at least the green works well enough. So far I’ve been printing TPU pretty successfully. I do like things to be as correct as possible especially when there are so many variables to account for when 3D printing. This is one thing less to worry about. Maybe if I were running a really long bowden tube I would notice more of a benefit. As it is, the numbers say it’s better in all the right places and it’s not terribly expensive. If you like precision equipment and are replacing the unknown origin Chinese sourced generic white tubing in your bowden rig, you may as well replace it with something nicer. Besides, who doesn’t like the word lubricity? Quieting the CR10 These few changes make printing surprisingly and noticeably quieter.

This is interesting because you can plug this module onto the printer controller and give it it’s own web page. Similar to Raspberry Pi with Octoprint but it runs on the printer itself. You send the gcode to the printer, just like it was on it’s own SD card. If the wifi signal is lost, it doesn’t matter because the gcode runs from the attached module. Once a print starts you would only need wifi access if you wanted to control the printer remotely.

The Aeon engine has a modest vacuum thrust of about 19,500 pounds, less than one-tenth that of a Merlin 1D engine used in SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket. It’s also nearly four times more powerful than the small Rutherford engines that power Rocket Lab’s smaller Electron rocket.”   “The company has a clear long-range vision that, ultimately, all rockets will be 3D printed because the highest cost today is human labor. “We really feel like that, extrapolating into the future, if we could 3D print 90 to 95 percent of the components of a rocket, we will have a launch vehicle that would be very disruptive,” Ellis said. “Fundamentally, this is the cheapest possible rocket.” https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/03/relativity-space-reveals-its-ambitions-with-big-nasa-deal/   Billion dollar companies like Boeing and others are 3D printing big and/or complex parts that could not be manufactured otherwise. https://www.theverge.com/2017/4/11/15256008/3d-printed-titanium-parts-boeing-dreamliner-787   Like Titanium?

From the pictures, it looks like they rough print the parts and machine them to the final shape. Really awesome looking Ti metal work.    BLTouch (auto bed leveling; really tramming) for the original CR10 (not the new board with filament sensor and double Z axis)   If you like the glass bed of the CR10 and want bed tramming, a regular inductive sensor isn’t going to work. Capacitive sensors give false positives in all kinds of conditions. BLTouch still isn’t the best, but unless you can do inductive sensing, touch sensing is where it’s at. Great sensor test video here: Tom Sanlanderer   BLTouch is a particular kind of Z end stop sensor. It’s a servo with a sensor pin. There is an electromagnet in the top of the sensor with a pin in the center. It’s very much like a solenoid on machinery or car starter, but not really. It’s the same but opposite. When a slight pressure moves the pin, the electromagnetically suspended pin moves a tiny amount which changes the voltage in the coil which is sensed by the servo and sends a signal to Marlin thus sensing the location of the hot end in the Z axis.    Connecting this to the original CR10 is a little trickier than most any other board. Here’s a pretty good tutorial complete with firmware for Marlin 1.1.6.    Essentially, the manufacturer did not provide/expose unused/extra pins of the Atmel microcontroller. Other manufacturers have at least a few if not many extra pins sticking off the main board unused. Just have a look at any RAMPS board and you’ll know what I mean. http://reprap.org/mediawiki/images/thumb/8/81/RAMPS_1.4.2.jpg/800px-RAMPS_1.4.2.jpg    CR10 is not so generous.    I did find an adapter board on ebay that does what I describe below without cutting wires and soldering. The no solder connector board from ebay.    The original CR10 does not have a bootloader. You will not be able to write the Marlin firmware without first adding a bootloader to the microprocessor board. The bootloader allows you to put the main board into programming mode so you can add Marlin firmware to your machine. Unless you bought a CR10 form Tiny Machines, you’ll need to do this yourself. Follow this well known tutorial to burn your bootloader if you haven’t already. Once you do this, you can write the Marlin firmware via the USB cable.  We need a signal line of some kind for the sensor. Not great news on the CR10 original: Unless you have a microscope and can solder to ultra tiny pins on the surface mounted microcontroller, you’re going to need to disable at least one stock feature. You have to disable one stock feature for each new feature you want to add to this model of the printer. Most are choosing either the Beep signal line, or the SDcard signal line. Here, we’re disabling the Beep function of the display and using that as the signal for the BLTouch servo. The servo is the electromagnet system that moves the tip of the BLTouch sensor up and down. We’ll cut the brown line on the LCD display (the buzzer signal) and use that as the sensor signal. Wire cut here. Connector was here. We’ll also have to set the “Pin 27” to be used as a Servo in Marlin firmware so that the software will use the sensor signal for the auto leveling. The no solder connector from ebay. The BLTouch also needs 5V power to run. If you recall, the hot end fans have 12V power,  which isn’t going to help us. (if you really wanted to, you could wire up a mini buck converter to step down the always on hotend fan and save running 2 of the wires). There are a couple ways to get 5V. The easiest way is to use the voltage lines on the ICSP(In Circuit Serial Programming connector) connector. You would have used this to burn the bootloader onto the main board. Follow this well known tutorial to burn your bootloader if you haven’t already. The top and bottom of the ICSP connector has the required voltage without soldering extra wires. From the tutorial above. Just connect using the push pin connectors included with the BLTouch kit. (BLTouch could also use 3.3V, however you would need to cut a trace on the back of the sensor, under the plug connector; and find a 3.3V supply) Next we need to replace the existing Z-axis end stop main board connector with the BLTouch Z connector. It’s the black and white wire connector from the BLTouch. Extend as necessary from the hot end mount. Black is ground and White is ZMIN (minimum position of the Z axis end stop, CR10 only has one end stop per axis, ZMAX would be at the top of the machine if there was one). Plug in the Z-stop of the BLTouch into where the original CR10 Z-stop was(on the main board). If you have a JST type connector, you could unplug the old switch end stop on the frame and connect to the BLTouch. This would only save you having to snake the Z-stop into the box with the sensor wires.  Find a mount. Here’s one for the original hotend: Original CR10 hotend mount. E3D has a lot of V6 upgrade prints on Thingiverse here. My V6 hot end mount was none of these. I was able to combine one of the parts from the hot end mount I have with a BLTouch connector pattern from here into one part. Tinkercad imports .STL files pretty well for this kind modification.    Extend the wires from the BLTouch into the main case and connect. Some kits include long wires, I just used an old ethernet cable. The BLTouch kit has several push pin connectors for making the connections. Orange goes to the pin 27 of the ribbon cable cut earlier. Brown to ground on the ICSP. Red is 5V on ICSP.  Update your firmware to enable the auto bed leveling(actually tramming). If you haven’t burned a boot loader to your machine, you’ll need to follow this before you can give it a new Marlin firmware. I tried just using the github version and applying the modifications, but it was too large. After compiling, the stock firmware with BLTouch enabled would not copy over. This one has more than the standard modifications and fits on the machine with a little space left over. a Marlin 1.1.6 CR10 firmware with BLTouch enabled using pin 27. All the software is taken care of for you. The only thing to change is the location of where your BLTouch is mounted in relation to the hot end. Notes from the manufacturer, BLTouch are here: https://www.antclabs.com/manual. Tom Sanlanderer has a good video on setting the offsets for the location of the sensor. See minute 6:50. After everything is wired up, turn the machine on. The pin of the sensor should drop down and retract twice. This is a self test when powered on. It does not mean that your machine is communicating with the sensor. If both the blue and orange LED are on and the pin is up, then you have a good servo connection to the main board. You should be good to close everything up and begin leveling. If you don’t see both LEDs on, then you need to check all your connections are solid before continuing.  Set the Z offset. The firmware is set to zero Z offset by default. BLTouch suggests setting it to 2 which is supposed to be 2mm above the bed. You can reflash your firmware with the change if you want, I left it as is. First run the Auto Home from the printer control panel. If you don’t see the pin stick in the down position with the orange LED off, stop and check your connections. If the pin is not down, the Z position will not be detected and the hot end will drive into the bed. Always be prepared to hit the power until you get this working perfectly. Back to the paper test. Get a sheet of paper and go to the Prepare-&gt;Move axis-&gt;Move Z. Adjust Z toward the bed until the paper is just sliding against the hot end. Remember that number and then set that number on the Control-&gt;Motion-&gt;Z Offset menu option. Save settings on the Control-&gt;Save Settings option.  Auto Home again, then run Prepare-&gt; Bed Leveling to set the final 9 point mesh tramming program. You only step 9 and 10 if your first layer is not what you want, or if you change your bed leveling wheel adjustments.     I didn’t have to add any special Gcode to my printing routines since updating to Marlin, also defaults to enabling the EPROM save settings option. After you’ve saved your Z settings, the next time you use your printer, you don’t have to set everything up again.     The results are not staggering, but the couple of tests I ran that spanned the bed all stuck to the first layer. I can still see varying squish of the first layer when comparing prints on the left, center and right. Samples here The center layer lines are less close together compared to the left and the right. The left and right are just about the same. The pieces in the photos are arranged as they were on the bed, except the actual print was far left, center and far right. I moved them closer together in the picture to get them in the same frame.    Interesting things I found about the Servo settings of Marlin/Gcode.  M280 Servo Position Gcode M280 syntax: M280 PX SXXX Where P10 is the servo number and S10 is the degree position to set.  The servo mode of a pin does take commands as though you were using a traditional RC servo. A servo always has a square wave signal sent to it from the moment its powered on. The angle that the servo turns is controlled by changing the pulse width of the square wave signal.    M280 P0 S10 is a typical command (sets the pin to deployed on the BLTouch). P0 is the zeroith servo that you’re sending the command to. SXXX is the value your sending. S10 is ten degrees. S60 is 60 degrees, etc. Any S value above 200 is the direct pulse with of the signal in microseconds.     At first I wasn’t sure that my printer was set to use the servo mode in the firmware correctly. My BLTouch only ran it’s power on self test and didn’t respond to any commands. I went through checking my connections several times and still nothing. At that point I hooked up my Bitscope oscilloscope to see if the pin was actually set to servo mode. I found that there was a good signal coming from my control board. After more checking and wire re-crimping, my BLTouch finally had a blue light and then it responded to commands.   On an oscilloscope, you can see the square wave pulses widen when you issue M280 commands. This is how I verified that the printer was interpreting the commands properly. When I sent Gcode via the Octoprint Terminal tab, I could see the pulse width change. The BLTouch interprets these pulse widths as pin up, and pin down commands. Good connections are of course required. When the pin is triggered, it pops up and sets the ZMIN of the end stop connector and the printer stops moving toward the bed.   Overall the BLTouch is a good sensor for glass. According to Tom’s tests, inductive is far superior if you can use a metal bed. As the glass changes over time, or if you’re unfortunate enough to receive a warped glass from a manufacturer, I expect it will be much more convenient than twisting knobs all the time.

More Trees! The E3d Edge filament tree worked pretty well. This picture is 5 clear t-Glase trees, a small bamboo tree and the large Edge filament tree. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Y5iYEkpc0geJqQeG2 The bamboo filament trees are still my number one favorite due to the ability to add some scented oil.  Started printing some t-Glase small trees and learned a few things. Quick video of a clear tree being printed: https://photos.app.goo.gl/TCYNaOKklyGaOFMo2 OK two videos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/6sCrllyLaYDMTBB73  The speed of the External perimeter matters. I had mine set to 150% for some reason. This moves the extruder head at 150 percent of the speed of whatever base speed. For the trees, this drew the loops super fast which kept them from flowing and falling correctly. It also kept the end of the loop from sticking to the trunk. I changed that to 50% and everything started working well.  Cooling matters. Normally, I don’t run the part cooling fan on anything except PLA. Turns out for this model cooling is needed. Due to the thin center trunk, the hot end stays on the trunk quite a while and continuously re-melts the material which causes bad warping of the trunk. I set my cooling to be 100% when the layer takes longer than 10 seconds to print. The cooling fan comes on automatically when needed and goes to low speed when not really necessary. These are Slic3r settings, your slicer may call these settings by another name.

The larger one had a large brim but it broke off when removing from the printer. It does stand up on it’s own without the brim due to the loops reaching to the bed/ground. The smaller one I printed with a large brim and the brim stuck so I kept it as a tree skirt. I had an idea to drop some potpourri pine or holiday scent onto it being that it’s wood filament. However I have not found a local source for that kind of scent oil. https://photos.app.goo.gl/KqJGSxup7eSu8HF63 https://photos.app.goo.gl/yWFRd79jBpEFKANv1 Lights used are similar to these that I found locally: https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Operated-DecorNova-Christmas-Decorations/dp/B01LVW7X6C/   Largish Nut Cracker: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1138935 I’m working on this one.

Broke: Anet – control board crapped out again. Learn: we need to be more precise in our terminology. Take leveling the bed for instance. let’s stop calling it leveling the bed – you use the screws to tram the bed to the extruder head (assumes your bed is a flat plane). Use your slicer to set your Z offset which will change depending on the filament being used/print surface/bed temp and so on.

Break: It’s been 28 days since the last breaking incident.  Learned: Don’t buy anything from Home Depot unless you’re installing it yourself. Service is horrific and nobody has any power to make useful decisions or change the process. New Prusa Research – king of printing has a feature rich new model ready for pre-order: http://shop.prusa3d.com/en/3d-printers/180-original-prusa-i3-mk3-kit.html New Einsy board is the key: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuvaSTg33r4 Most notable:  Steel PEI painted (magnetic) sheet build plate cover – self aligns  Removeable to bend and pop off your parts.   Resumes on lots of typical errors  Optical Filament sensor: printer pauses when filament is not moving, is missing, or jams. Restarts at last position when corrected.  Pause to change color can be pre-empted any time from the control panel. – no need to pre-arrange color change by layer.   Skipped step sensor: auto-resumes from last error. Push your print head off axis while printing and it will self correct Power outage resume: Unplug the power and the printer stops. The new board will save it’s position in memory and restart after re-heating to previous temps after power is back on.   Only $50 more than the previous model.  Keycaps can be printed but should be low layer height for good quality. Same for any small part really. http://www.meshconvert.com – Site converts .stl files to other formats. Mostly 3D printed 40% clicky keyboard. The “Let’s Split” also known as the Planck (non-split version of same)      https://imgur.com/gallery/hHR1U https://github.com/nicinabox/lets-split-guide         https://photos.app.goo.gl/4s3D0uxzoOuDI3Ti2     Good  I’ve only been typing on it a couple days but I’m already enjoying getting use to the layout. Several key layouts can be used at once.  Normally you would use the shift key to get numbers or the symbols under the numbers. You still have the shift key but with the limited number of keys, two more keys are “shift” keys. The extra keys are “Raise” and “Lower”. These “shift” from one layout to the next.   The lower key count is beginning to be useful.  Previously I would take one hand off the home row to use the arrow keys when Vim keys weren’t useful. Now, my arrow keys are on the home row. Holding down the “Raise” key with my thumb, my other fingers are free to use the home row as arrows without losing the locational feel on the keyboard.   The default LED patterns are pretty cool  I added six WS2812 RGB LEDs under the keyboard. This is called Underglow. https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/feature_rgblight.md https://photos.app.goo.gl/0znSWezL2PkxH8Pt1 https://photos.app.goo.gl/hwVkpy1zgpb8ARMh1  After you enable the LEDs, you can set them to a color or also enable animations. You can change the settings of the animations with C style #define statements in the firmware pretty much just like setting up a configure.h file for Marlin firmware.  Depending on the keymap you use, there may or may not be Key codes on the layout that let you change RGB behavior during use. You need to assign an RGB keycode to a key so you can toggle settings on the fly later.     Because you have access to the firmware, you can make up any key combo you want.  You can make up your own key codes. You can program combinations of key codes into one key code. You press a key and execute a macro.   Don’t forget about sound. This is next on my list. As far as I can tell, it just takes a speaker, a small resistor and a small ceramic capacitor.  You can add a speaker to your keyboard like the old days. Remember when keyboards had a speaker inside? You can program your own songs in 8 bit glory, or play some of the firmware defaults.  Plays a tune when you switch modes Plays a tune when you activate and deactivate a mode   There’s even a music keyboard mode. Plays notes when pressing different keys.   Some instructions talk about having to figure out what serial port your keyboard is connected to for flashing. The latest version of QMK is almost automatic.  The new firmware has a build in script that detects the serial port when you click the reset button on the board you want to flash.  First run the firmware flashing script. After you see the compile finish, you’ll see several empty lines start scrolling. Click the reset button then and the port to flash is detected. You’ll see a progress bar of the flashing process and a success message.     Each Arduino pro micro has 32K of flash memory and there’s two in the Let’s Split setup. That’s a lot of room to add your own programming and key maps. That’s 64k if you count both sides, the same amount of memory in a Commodore 64 back in the day. The 3D printed case fits together great. I printed mine in clear for the LED fun. Several others you’ll find are laser cut acrylic plates that use common stand-offs for holding things together. You can print your own keycaps. I found some keycaps on thingiverse and cut out a finger divot on top using tinkercad. https://photos.app.goo.gl/GsoyjCZps2CbzIdW2      Not great, but mostly my fault  There are plenty of instructions showing how to assemble the keyboard but I did not find a schematic of the circuit board itself. That makes it hard to troubleshoot if you have a problem. Luckily it’s just a keyboard so there are only four possibilities: A bad diode/installing a diode wrong, bad switches (not very likely), a bad circuit board (not very likely) or a bad/mis-installed arduino.   My mistakes     I left some pads soldered on the wrong side of the board and didn’t test the board before setting the switches. The fix was to unsolder two switches above the pads and unsolder them. I actually had another problem. Even after fixing the soldered pads, one keyboard side didn’t work at all after re-flashing. After trying to un-solder one of the arduino boards, I scratched a trace. I had to replace the arduino. I did plan ahead though. I ordered 4 originally because they were super cheap.    Keycap puller: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1318655 Keycaps: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:281103 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2314316 – works well for my switches.   Arduino Pro-tip: When working with Arduino or electronics that need data connection through a USB cable; make sure your cable is actually a data cable. While flashing one of the boards, it looked like my board was bad because the computer wouldn’t detect it plugged in or reset. However the problem was the USB cable. I switched to a data cable and problem solved. Flashing continued. Same for a 3D printer or anything using USB for data.  If when setting up your 3D printer, you did not use the USB cable included and you get no connection, check the cable. The problem may be that the USB cable isn’t a data cable. Always swap out the cable to troubleshoot. An easy test is to try connecting a USB disk drive with the cable you’re troubleshooting.

New Prusa Research – king of printing has a feature rich new model ready for pre-order: <a href="http://shop.prusa3d.com/en/3d-printers/180-original-prusa-i3-mk3-kit.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://shop.prusa3d.com/en/3d-printers/180-original-prusa-i3-mk3-kit.html</a> New Einsy board is the key: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuvaSTg33r4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuvaSTg33r4</a> Most notable: <ul> <li>Steel PEI painted (magnetic) sheet build plate cover – self aligns <ul> <li>Removeable to bend and pop off your parts.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Resumes on lots of typical errors <ul> <li>Optical Filament sensor: printer pauses when filament is not moving, is missing, or jams. Restarts at last position when corrected. <ul> <li>Pause to change color can be pre-empted any time from the control panel. – no need to pre-arrange color change by layer.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Skipped step sensor: auto-resumes from last error. Push your print head off axis while printing and it will self correct</li> <li>Power outage resume: Unplug the power and the printer stops. The new board will save it’s position in memory and restart after re-heating to previous temps after power is back on.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Only $50 more than the previous model.</li> </ul> Keycaps can be printed but should be low layer height for good quality. Same for any small part really. <a href="http://www.meshconvert.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.meshconvert.com</a> – Site converts .stl files to other formats. Mostly 3D printed 40% clicky keyboard. The “Let’s Split” also known as the Planck (non-split version of same) <ul> <li> <ul> <li> <ul> <li><a href="https://imgur.com/gallery/hHR1U" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://imgur.com/gallery/hHR1U</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/nicinabox/lets-split-guide" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://github.com/nicinabox/lets-split-guide</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li><a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/4s3D0uxzoOuDI3Ti2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://photos.app.goo.gl/4s3D0uxzoOuDI3Ti2</a></li> </ul> Good <ul> <li>I’ve only been typing on it a couple days but I’m already enjoying getting use to the layout.</li> <li>Several key layouts can be used at once. <ul> <li>Normally you would use the shift key to get numbers or the symbols under the numbers. You still have the shift key but with the limited number of keys, two more keys are “shift” keys. The extra keys are “Raise” and “Lower”. These “shift” from one layout to the next.</li> </ul> </li> <li>The lower key count is beginning to be useful. <ul> <li>Previously I would take one hand off the home row to use the arrow keys when Vim keys weren’t useful. Now, my arrow keys are on the home row. Holding down the “Raise” key with my thumb, my other fingers are free to use the home row as arrows without losing the locational feel on the keyboard.</li> </ul> </li> <li>The default LED patterns are pretty cool <ul> <li>I added six WS2812 RGB LEDs under the keyboard. This is called Underglow. <a href="https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/feature_rgblight.md" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/feature_rgblight.md</a></li> <li><a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/0znSWezL2PkxH8Pt1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://photos.app.goo.gl/0znSWezL2PkxH8Pt1</a></li> <li><a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/hwVkpy1zgpb8ARMh1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://photos.app.goo.gl/hwVkpy1zgpb8ARMh1</a></li> <li></li> <li>After you enable the LEDs, you can set them to a color or also enable animations. You can change the settings of the animations with C style #define statements in the firmware pretty much just like setting up a configure.h file for Marlin firmware. <ul> <li>Depending on the keymap you use, there may or may not be Key codes on the layout that let you change RGB behavior during use. You need to assign an RGB keycode to a key so you can toggle settings on the fly later.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li>Because you have access to the firmware, you can make up any key combo you want. <ul> <li>You can make up your own key codes.</li> <li>You can program combinations of key codes into one key code. You press a key and execute a macro.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Don’t forget about sound. This is next on my list. As far as I can tell, it just takes a speaker, a small resistor and a small ceramic capacitor. <ul> <li>You can add a speaker to your keyboard like the old days. Remember when keyboards had a speaker inside?</li> <li>You can program your own songs in 8 bit glory, or play some of the firmware defaults. <ul> <li>Plays a tune when you switch modes</li> <li>Plays a tune when you activate and deactivate a mode</li> </ul> </li> <li>There’s even a music keyboard mode. Plays notes when pressing different keys.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Some instructions talk about having to figure out what serial port your keyboard is connected to for flashing. The latest version of QMK is almost automatic. <ul> <li>The new firmware has a build in script that detects the serial port when you click the reset button on the board you want to flash. <ul> <li>First run the firmware flashing script. After you see the compile finish, you’ll see several empty lines start scrolling. Click the reset button then and the port to flash is detected. You’ll see a progress bar of the flashing process and a success message.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li>Each Arduino pro micro has 32K of flash memory and there’s two in the Let’s Split setup. That’s a lot of room to add your own programming and key maps. That’s 64k if you count both sides, the same amount of memory in a Commodore 64 back in the day.</li> <li>The 3D printed case fits together great. I printed mine in clear for the LED fun. Several others you’ll find are laser cut acrylic plates that use common stand-offs for holding things together.</li> <li>You can print your own keycaps. I found some keycaps on thingiverse and cut out a finger divot on top using tinkercad. <a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/GsoyjCZps2CbzIdW2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://photos.app.goo.gl/GsoyjCZps2CbzIdW2</a></li> </ul> Not great, but mostly my fault <ul> <li>There are plenty of instructions showing how to assemble the keyboard but I did not find a schematic of the circuit board itself. That makes it hard to troubleshoot if you have a problem. Luckily it’s just a keyboard so there are only four possibilities: A bad diode/installing a diode wrong, bad switches (not very likely), a bad circuit board (not very likely) or a bad/mis-installed arduino.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>My mistakes</li> </ul> <ul> <li> <ul> <li>I left some pads soldered on the wrong side of the board and didn’t test the board before setting the switches. The fix was to unsolder two switches above the pads and unsolder them.</li> <li>I actually had another problem. Even after fixing the soldered pads, one keyboard side didn’t work at all after re-flashing. After trying to un-solder one of the arduino boards, I scratched a trace. I had to replace the arduino. I did plan ahead though. I ordered 4 originally because they were super cheap.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> Keycap puller: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1318655" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1318655</a> Keycaps: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:281103" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:281103</a> <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2314316" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2314316</a> – works well for my switches. Arduino Pro-tip: When working with Arduino or electronics that need data connection through a USB cable; make sure your cable is actually a data cable. While flashing one of the boards, it looked like my board was bad because the computer wouldn’t detect it plugged in or reset. However the problem was the USB cable. I switched to a data cable and problem solved. Flashing continued. Same for a 3D printer or anything using USB for data.  If when setting up your 3D printer, you did not use the USB cable included and you get no connection, check the cable. The problem may be that the USB cable isn’t a data cable. Always swap out the cable to troubleshoot. An easy test is to try connecting a USB disk drive with the cable you’re troubleshooting.

Art Fun! – Digging into the Lithophane find from last week: http://3dp.rocks/lithophane/ You can download the source and use it on your own machine here: https://github.com/MarkDurbin104/3dp.rocks They also have some really good blog posts on how to use some of the features and even the math behind show it works: http://3dp.rocks/ An artist friend of mine, Sue Swerdlow, that I do website work for, suggested I apply her paintings and drawings to some of the 3D printing techniques we’ve been playing with. The originals are thousands of dollars and prints are in the hundreds. Some have limited edition prints or giclees. Many of the original works are sold but you can find more plus the prints for sale here: http://sueswerdlowart.com The examples here are made in to 2 inch by about 3 inch sizes. This is mostly for testing, but the final product may be a key chain or some kind of mini model for sale. Another idea for the lithophane is to mount several of these on a mini carousel and put them around a rotating lamp for shadow effect, or even direct viewing. Lithophanes have been used all kinds of ways over the years. The new thing about it is all you need is a printer and a few clicks of a mouse instead of decades of chisel experience. Lithophanes:  Materials: The plastic is Hatchbox PLA and E3D Bamboo in PLA at around 200C. This is a rice field from an imagined Honolulu past: https://photos.app.goo.gl/x4uCCGMEGJO0m9SI3 The first lithophane is a negative print, then a positive print followed by the original image. The original image from the website has a white and black border adjacent to the painting. The added border creates a nice little box around the lithophone when processed through the software. Even though there are a lot of color shades, the detail can be seen with light behind the printed lithophane. This next one is in the Bamboo filament using the filled puffed pillow shape from 3dp.rocks. The image is from Sue’s painting Kona Village, named after Kona Village Resort. https://photos.app.goo.gl/gtgk9H2r6Wfu97VC3 In 2011 the Japan Tsunami flooded and closed the resort.

A more comprehensive article is here: http://alohamagazine.com/resort/konavillage2011/history.html Originally there were no roads to service the resort through the lava field. Another feature of the resort was that there was no TV, radio, or phones except a radiotelephone for emergencies. This was an all inclusive style resort where you charge everything to your hale, or room. Hale generally means house, usually a free standing structure. This was definitely an unplug and relax way to vacation. I believe there are plans to reopen again in several years. More velocity painting, now, using an actual artist’s work.

If I’m alive next week, I may have a fun prop working. Finds of the fortnight:  Too much detail is lost on small prints. Wide solid areas or wide smooth gradients of color or tone work best. Shadows can get lost unless they are well defined or high contrast to the other areas of the image. Adding a border to the lithophane process makes a nice mini raised edge to the printed product. If you’ve got something you need to do for a while, why not set your printer to print 3D stuff while your busy doing other things?

Flexible 3D Printing Filaments Tested – Which Flex is Best? – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wMKp6q9ktE Chad Cory – laser upgrade is out of date but still works? Jonas – You guys are poison! – 3D pen purchase because Brett mentioned it last week! 3D Stereo Drawing Pen RP-100B: Amazon Link To Pen This is actually a really neat tool. This one was $19.99 and ships for free with Amazon Prime. This is a clone of a more expensive model. You can see a live demo from our “buddy” Tom Salanderer from last weekend:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekib2E6qs7k This one actually does PLA and ABS temps. Max was about 245. I also immediately tried Esun PETG, which I love. All worked well. Operation is simple. Plug in, choose PLA or ABS on the tiny LCD screen and wait for it to warm up. There are LED lights that change when the temp is good. Poke in a bit of PLA/ABS/PETG and press the forward button until you see extrusion. You can hold the button for continuous extrusion control, or click the button twice to start it extruding by itself. You can adjust the speed as it extrudes for really good control.  The variable speed is a nice feature.  After running for several minutes continuously, it started extruding slowly which felt like a jam. Could have been running too fast for the temp I was using. Regardless of the “jam”, I was able to unload the filament by pressing the back arrow button that auto unloads filament. I then immediately reloaded the filament and kept going. “Jam” solved. I’ve only used it for about an hour but have not had to disassemble for jams like a real 3D printer. It looks like you can pinch the end and take off the nozzle, but haven’t found that necessary yet.  I made this Frankenstein bowl out of my lesser quality alien head keychain prints. It took me about 20 minutes.  https://goo.gl/photos/s41MWHDRY2UADWWPA Yes, terrible, but pretty fun and definitely quick.    Good:  Easy to use Fun to glue all your failed prints into the most monstrous sculpture you have ever seen! Ceramic nozzle (cooler than brass supposedly) Works with most any material Auto unloads Variable speed Change temp on the fly ( wide range) Jams did not require disassembly (so far) Outside of the tip cleans easily while hot. If you regularly put out candles with your finger tips, you could pinch off the typical 3D printer ooze by hand. I chose to use tiny Rick pliers.  Replacement nozzles are available Many clone resellers  No problem switching filaments provided you clear the former filament at the right temp with the newer filament  Bad:  Short cord – Normal 3 foot cord, but if you plug it into the wall, you really need a power strip or thick extension cord at desk height to use on a table top. (please do not use the skinniest lamp wire extension cord you can find. The wall wart does get warm during normal use. I expect it’s using much of it’s 2 amp supply.) 12V 2 amp power required; not easily powered by USB power pack without a converter – must be tethered to outlet Will jam/extrude very slowly after several minutes of continuous use, however un-jams by unloading and reloading filament. Could have been going too fast for the temp.  Oozes like a normal 3D printer nozzle or caulk gun. You an hear it retracting but it wasn’t enough when I was running PLA on the hotter side of suggested temps. If you want to print cleanly, you’ll need to wipe the nozzle after every application.   Conclusion: For less than $20, definite thumbs up and +10. Short of this thing breaking within a month, a definite great buy.  ___ I GOT WOOD (filament)! – ColorFab BambooFill Actually it’s Bamboo impregnated PLA filament from E3d. This is total novelty stuff. It definitely has an interesting texture. So far I printed with .175 layer height and the lines look like tightly woven linen. There’s a neat tiny striated pattern along the extruded length as well. Imagine a spool of thread but bamboo colored. It looks like your print is a single strand of thread all coiled onto itself in the shape of your part.  There is a noticeable change in the print where the print head changes direction, however continuous corners are really nice. I’m not sure why but there’s a really exaggerated Z-scar effect where the head changes direction. This could be a problem with my print head, but I didn’t notice the effect on other materials printed. Changing print speed, etc. may improve things. More experimentation will be necessary.  This one is a little pricey, but it is special. $29 British pounds for 600g from e3d-online.com.  The base material is PLA which is impregnated with bamboo bits just like most any wood filament.  I printed toward the hotter end of the PLA temp spectrum and the color still looks like the spool. It’s probably not a candidate for printing at different temps to achieve different colors.  It feels like PLA when sanding with the added “enhancement” of smelling like smoldering saw dust. The saw dust smell is apparent but not obnoxious while printing. It really is bamboo. I’ve sanded and cut quite a bit of bamboo and it definitely smells like this.  Good:  Smells nice when printing Prints nicely like most PLA Has a neat linen and/or spool of thread look to the final print The printed continuous corners are crisp and smooth  Bad:  Expensive – $29 pounds per 600 grams Z-scar seems more noticeable than other PLA  James –  Brett Hansen –  flyingRich –   Aaron Turnbull – https://www.myminifactory.com/software/?utm_campaign=3544800

This one was $19.99 and ships for free with Amazon Prime. This is a clone of a more expensive model. You can see a live demo from our “buddy” Tom Salanderer from last weekend: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekib2E6qs7k" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekib2E6qs7k</a> This one actually does PLA and ABS temps. Max was about 245. I also immediately tried Esun PETG, which I love. All worked well. Operation is simple. Plug in, choose PLA or ABS on the tiny LCD screen and wait for it to warm up. There are LED lights that change when the temp is good. Poke in a bit of PLA/ABS/PETG and press the forward button until you see extrusion. You can hold the button for continuous extrusion control, or click the button twice to start it extruding by itself. You can adjust the speed as it extrudes for really good control. The variable speed is a nice feature. After running for several minutes continuously, it started extruding slowly which felt like a jam. Could have been running too fast for the temp I was using. Regardless of the “jam”, I was able to unload the filament by pressing the back arrow button that auto unloads filament. I then immediately reloaded the filament and kept going. “Jam” solved. I’ve only used it for about an hour but have not had to disassemble for jams like a real 3D printer. It looks like you can pinch the end and take off the nozzle, but haven’t found that necessary yet. I made this Frankenstein bowl out of my lesser quality alien head keychain prints. It took me about 20 minutes. <a href="https://goo.gl/photos/s41MWHDRY2UADWWPA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/photos/s41MWHDRY2UADWWPA</a> Yes, terrible, but pretty fun and definitely quick. Good: <ul> <li>Easy to use</li> <li>Fun to glue all your failed prints into the most monstrous sculpture you have ever seen!</li> <li>Ceramic nozzle (cooler than brass supposedly)</li> <li>Works with most any material</li> <li>Auto unloads</li> <li>Variable speed</li> <li>Change temp on the fly ( wide range)</li> <li>Jams did not require disassembly (so far)</li> <li>Outside of the tip cleans easily while hot. If you regularly put out candles with your finger tips, you could pinch off the typical 3D printer ooze by hand. I chose to use tiny Rick pliers. </li> <li>Replacement nozzles are available</li> <li>Many clone resellers </li> <li>No problem switching filaments provided you clear the former filament at the right temp with the newer filament</li> </ul> Bad: <ul> <li>Short cord – Normal 3 foot cord, but if you plug it into the wall, you really need a power strip or thick extension cord at desk height to use on a table top. (please do not use the skinniest lamp wire extension cord you can find. The wall wart does get warm during normal use. I expect it’s using much of it’s 2 amp supply.)</li> <li>12V 2 amp power required; not easily powered by USB power pack without a converter – must be tethered to outlet</li> <li>Will jam/extrude very slowly after several minutes of continuous use, however un-jams by unloading and reloading filament. Could have been going too fast for the temp. </li> <li>Oozes like a normal 3D printer nozzle or caulk gun. You an hear it retracting but it wasn’t enough when I was running PLA on the hotter side of suggested temps. If you want to print cleanly, you’ll need to wipe the nozzle after every application. </li> </ul> Conclusion: For less than $20, definite thumbs up and +10. Short of this thing breaking within a month, a definite great buy. ___ I GOT WOOD (filament)! – <a href="https://e3d-online.com/colorfabb-bamboofill-175" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ColorFab BambooFill</a> Actually it’s Bamboo impregnated PLA filament from E3d. This is total novelty stuff. It definitely has an interesting texture. So far I printed with .175 layer height and the lines look like tightly woven linen. There’s a neat tiny striated pattern along the extruded length as well. Imagine a spool of thread but bamboo colored. It looks like your print is a single strand of thread all coiled onto itself in the shape of your part. There is a noticeable change in the print where the print head changes direction, however continuous corners are really nice. I’m not sure why but there’s a really exaggerated Z-scar effect where the head changes direction. This could be a problem with my print head, but I didn’t notice the effect on other materials printed. Changing print speed, etc. may improve things. More experimentation will be necessary. This one is a little pricey, but it is special. $29 British pounds for 600g from <a href="http://e3d-online.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">e3d-online.com</a>. The base material is PLA which is impregnated with bamboo bits just like most any wood filament. I printed toward the hotter end of the PLA temp spectrum and the color still looks like the spool. It’s probably not a candidate for printing at different temps to achieve different colors. It feels like PLA when sanding with the added “enhancement” of smelling like smoldering saw dust. The saw dust smell is apparent but not obnoxious while printing. It really is bamboo. I’ve sanded and cut quite a bit of bamboo and it definitely smells like this.

Use the AUR (Arch User Repository) program debtap to repack the .deb download file into an Arch Linux installable package. Debtap use article here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=187558  I tried Ideamaker in an effort to repair an OnShape model that was missing parts after importing into Slic3r. The auto fix didn’t work for me. It actually closed an opening on the model that I did want to keep. I was able to add custom supports to my model which was the one feature I could use. I’ve used Crua, Slic3r and KISSlicer. I did not like the workflow of Ideamaker at all. I didn’t find a pleasant way to save profiles for prints. I’m used to easily saving any changes with a new profile label in Slic3r one of three different areas of print settings (print speed/infill;  temp and extruder width; and hotend/gcode settings). From what I can find, Ideamaker forces you to first start printing, then a window opens to choose a profile. If you don’t already have a profile created(There were no preset profiles in the Linux version I tried), you must clone/duplicate a non-existent profile. If it’s your first time in this window there are no items to duplicate which was confusing. Unintuitively, if you do click the duplicate button (of which there is no selection to duplicate) that’s when a new blank profile option window appears to edit. Unless there is a Advanced/Expert preference button somewhere, the options for the profiles feel less complete than even the basic Cura. I also could not connect Ideamaker to my octoprint. Definite deal killer! Clicking the button to connect wirelessly to a printer seems to look for one of the approved Ideamaker supported printers. I did not try to connect my machine to the printer directly since I never use my printer that way. I expect that there would be some generic serial connection that would detect the basic gcode type printers everyone has. I installed Ideamker because it offered the extra features of custom supports which does seem to work a lot like the paid Simplify 3D. It also offers model repairing supposedly like the free meshmaker. Since that didn’t work for me the only feature left I like is the custom support creation. Given the choice of this or Simplify 3D for the features, I would easily choose Simplify 3D. I wouldn’t mind learning a new workflow for better features, but the usability needs more work for me to switch. For now the only use for me is to add custom supports without having to pay for Simplify 3D.  Rocket Battery Charger – or, 3D printing product development from start to finish:  Again, this is the first time I’m doing this, which, on the internet, means I’m an expert, Yay! Product: USB charge bank in the shape of a rocket. I’m just about finished with my rocket battery charger project. The idea is to package a USB 5V charger in an interesting case. I saw a battery charger put together in a plain square printed box, but I wanted something a little more interesting.   Business Process:   Feasibility:  Has anyone made something similar? Can you get parts? How useful is the product Do you have any real numbers on the market for the product? Can you make the product more interesting, better, cheaper at the same or better quality? I have more than one battery pack charger that I use regularly and could always use another one. For myself, my product is feasible because I already own two and could always use another. And, I can make it more interesting than the ones I already own. I expect other people may feel the same.   Design:  Consider creating your own design or modifying an existing model. Consider printing all one piece or multiple pieces. How will the part or parts print on the bed. My first idea was to print all in one piece. Printing a rocket vertically means the fins of my rocket would have printed first which means the thin points of the fins, very thin and weak, could not support the print until the body of the rocket printerd. I found it was difficult to get a good print without a lot of supports that would have affected the look. I soon switched to breaking the model into parts. It’s much easier to print the body and then attach the fins later. Side benefit is you can print different color or different materials for an interesting mix and match model. Think about over hangs when printing. To print without supports, you’ll want to angle your overhangs less than 45 degrees unless you’re willing to print with supports. Makers Muse talks about tolerance a lot. When you’re 3D printing, you need to leave .2 or .3mm of space between parts that you want to be snug fit. If you’re printing something the accuracy of the print is going to vary a bit. If your printer is perfectly tuned, most cannot really print to .1mm tolerance. .2mm tolerance is for a perfect printer printing slowly. .3 is probably more realistic for printing fast.   Materials: What kind of filament will work for the product?  Does it need to be strong? Does it need to withstand heat? Is the product going to be knocked around, or just for display? Should the model be a certain color How big does it need to be?   Production: If all things are available and the design is ready  3D printing things 1) How long does it take to print the parts? 2) Can you print enough before your deadline? 3) For multipart, are your tolerances going to work for real world application. How long will it take to make one complete product that is ready to sell. Can you make the product more quickly? Are there any steps that can be outsourced, like basic assembly or fulfillment?      10pcs Step Up Power Supply Module Charge &amp; Discharge 2 in 1 USB 3V to 5V 1.2A – http://www.ebay.com/itm/10pcs-Step-Up-Power-Supply-Module-Charge-Discharge-2-in-1-USB-3V-to-5V-1-2A/201740649671 USB Battery voltage and current tester: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-AA-AAA-C-D-9V-1-5V-Button-Cell-Battery-Volt-Tester-Checker-Indicator-M/182328800407?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Chad Cory – just some stuff I have been doing with mpcnc and I posted a video on the makerz youtube.

I wouldn’t mind learning a new workflow for better features, but the usability needs more work for me to switch. For now the only use for me is to add custom supports without having to pay for Simplify 3D.</li> </ol> Rocket Battery Charger – or, 3D printing product development from start to finish: Again, this is the first time I’m doing this, which, on the internet, means I’m an expert, Yay! Product: USB charge bank in the shape of a rocket. I’m just about finished with my rocket battery charger project. The idea is to package a USB 5V charger in an interesting case. I saw a battery charger put together in a plain square printed box, but I wanted something a little more interesting. Business Process: <ol> <li>Feasibility: <ol> <li>Has anyone made something similar?</li> <li>Can you get parts?</li> <li>How useful is the product</li> <li>Do you have any real numbers on the market for the product?</li> <li>Can you make the product more interesting, better, cheaper at the same or better quality? I have more than one battery pack charger that I use regularly and could always use another one. For myself, my product is feasible because I already own two and could always use another. And, I can make it more interesting than the ones I already own. I expect other people may feel the same.</li> </ol> </li> <li>Design: <ol> <li>Consider creating your own design or modifying an existing model.</li> <li>Consider printing all one piece or multiple pieces.</li> <li>How will the part or parts print on the bed. My first idea was to print all in one piece. Printing a rocket vertically means the fins of my rocket would have printed first which means the thin points of the fins, very thin and weak, could not support the print until the body of the rocket printerd. I found it was difficult to get a good print without a lot of supports that would have affected the look. I soon switched to breaking the model into parts. It’s much easier to print the body and then attach the fins later. Side benefit is you can print different color or different materials for an interesting mix and match model.</li> <li>Think about over hangs when printing. To print without supports, you’ll want to angle your overhangs less than 45 degrees unless you’re willing to print with supports.</li> <li>Makers Muse talks about tolerance a lot. When you’re 3D printing, you need to leave .2 or .3mm of space between parts that you want to be snug fit. If you’re printing something the accuracy of the print is going to vary a bit. If your printer is perfectly tuned, most cannot really print to .1mm tolerance. .2mm tolerance is for a perfect printer printing slowly. .3 is probably more realistic for printing fast.</li> </ol> </li> <li>Materials: What kind of filament will work for the product? <ol> <li>Does it need to be strong?</li> <li>Does it need to withstand heat?</li> <li>Is the product going to be knocked around, or just for display?</li> <li>Should the model be a certain color</li> <li>How big does it need to be?</li> </ol> </li> <li>Production: If all things are available and the design is ready <ol> <li>3D printing things 1) How long does it take to print the parts? 2) Can you print enough before your deadline? 3) For multipart, are your tolerances going to work for real world application.</li> <li>How long will it take to make one complete product that is ready to sell.</li> <li>Can you make the product more quickly?</li> <li>Are there any steps that can be outsourced, like basic assembly or fulfillment?</li> </ol> </li> </ol> 10pcs Step Up Power Supply Module Charge &amp; Discharge 2 in 1 USB 3V to 5V 1.2A – <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/10pcs-Step-Up-Power-Supply-Module-Charge-Discharge-2-in-1-USB-3V-to-5V-1-2A/201740649671" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.ebay.com/itm/10pcs-Step-Up-Power-Supply-Module-Charge-Discharge-2-in-1-USB-3V-to-5V-1-2A/201740649671</a> USB Battery voltage and current tester: <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-AA-AAA-C-D-9V-1-5V-Button-Cell-Battery-Volt-Tester-Checker-Indicator-M/182328800407?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-AA-AAA-C-D-9V-1-5V-Button-Cell-Battery-Volt-Tester-Checker-Indicator-M/182328800407?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT</a> Chad Cory – just some stuff I have been doing with mpcnc and I posted a video on the makerz youtube.

It is still up to the individual to make sure the item found can be printed. If you can’t seem to find something you really want or need, a quick search using yeggi might turn something up on a site you don’t normally check. You can create an account on yeggi, but your search is the same, account or not. The account does let you make lists where you can keep links to things you’ve found that you may wish to re-visit later. Another site where *all* the files are printable is www.3dagogo.com Many of the designs are not free, but there are some that are. The site has not been around that long, so it doesn’t have that many files yet, but it appears to be popular with designers who wish to sell their designs.
