Awsome mikeQuote
madmike8
20mm test cube X 20.0, Y 20.0, Z 20.0
Worked good!
Exactly wath I where after
The benefits with the pulley caps is so the motor neads lesser force to move the small steps and the reason you got better results
Now go ahead and build one for your brother

Sounds good mike
I don't know how serge will take it as my design is so different even if it started as a remix of his smartrap
I will try to have a look there when you get started
At least I have work at the factory for a while so I will have some trouble to do frequent updates for a while.
cheers.
ps...
iam more or less extremely tired every weekday now for a while and only have the weekends to do updates now

Printed the new parts for #2. I just have to print the Y bearing holder in blue, and then I switch to white for the rest of the parts.

Hi my friend there is a couple of builders hanging around the smartrap section here you could ask wath they use
[forums.reprap.org]
I would recommend you to use a more dense infill and 3 shells if you want it really solid.
Takes a lot more time but probably saves you a lot of problems later on.
For a quicker print don't save on the infill density but use 2 shells instead
Wath slicer do you use ???
While I prototyped the design so did I usually use this slic3r setting for it.
Fill density 0.3 and the same for layer height where I even use 0.4 some times

In my opinion so is 0.4 the best of 2 things when it comes to speed and detail on your printed objectsQuote

I'm just in the process of ordering an extruder, and I'm thinking of buying this one:
[www.aliexpress.com]
As the seller offers a free spare nozzle, would it make sense to order a smaller one, like 0.2 or 0.3mm?
Is the printer's resolution fine enough to print in 0.1mm layer height?
The smaller the nozzle the slower will you have to print for the hotend to be able to extrude properly,you can always compensate with higher tempratures but that give other problems
The extruder is pretty much the same I use but I would probably recommend you to try the setting madmike use with a Bowden setup.
It works with a mk8 but you get less problems with a smaller weight on the arm

Thanks mike its a slow process but iam getting closerQuote
madmike8
Cliff, any updates on your new design. I saw the video a few weeks ago. Looks promising.
Iam waiting for my 7 inch raspberry pi screen iam planning on using for it
iam going to experiment with replacing the ordinary lcd with a raspberry pi 2 running pronterface

We all have bin noobs sometimeQuote

I'm not familiar with bowden extruders, so I'll rather start with a classical one. But I'll definitely try that later.
Thanks for being patient with a noob :-)
you always have to learn new things when it comes to 3d printers

Thank you, madmike8.
I've started printing out the parts (starting with the y-base), and they came out nice so far.
In fact, I need a bigger printer, so I'll use the Funbot to learn, and then give it to my son.
Then I'll build a big one

The new design iam working on will be completely modular where you decide the size with the wood pieces and rods how big it should print in a simple manner
Iam only doing the prototype small as its easier to handle while doing the design
If you look on my latest picture so do I use printed corner pieces to make the assembly a lot easier on the new design

Here's a pic of a recent print with Funbot #1
It's a TriTom track drive wheel.

with octo print do you not nead a remote as you can control your printer with ipad,mobile phone or android pad
Iam taking this a bit further as I can code firmware,control and use octoprint the way I do it
It is simply a small quad core computer in the back of the printer.
Actually do I see more problems with not using a raspberry pi because it have a larger following and I have used cubieboards and hackberrys before and they give you a lot of trouble if you are fresh with Linux.
pi 2 is also more powerfull then the a20 cpu wath I know ?
I have tested octoprint and found many problems with it.
If you use a pi so could also simply connect at home from the main computer to transfer the stl and gcode files if you want with its ip address
Ther is also astro print that is commercial that I have not tested??
Its still early in progress
The backbone of the raspberry is all its extra stuff you can get for a cheap buck

igus for z axis.
winged for y and x
This is only because the z axis have to lift so much weight
print one and check the size to your pipes and continou until you have a perfect fit
Keep in mind that the first time you slide them one so should they not slide to softly
You nead to slightly grind them on the pipe until they slide softly .
Printed bushings can be a pain that's why I left them for the next design sadly.
to many have problems with printed bushings as the difference is so large on all printers people use on the end result.
when I have the time so will I do a lm8uu version .
there is a video on the thing page explaining the winged bushings
