How big can you print with Megatronics 2.0 board?
October 01, 2013 07:14PM
I'm building a 3D printer and was thinking about buying Megatronics 2.0 board,
I was just wondering if there is a limit to the size of the bed for this board
Can it be 10x10x10? Is there any limitation?
Also if you know anything about the firmware, how can you upload the board size to the board?
Thank you

The electronic doesn't limit the bed size. You set the dimension in the firmware source code before you upload it to the board with the Arduino GUI.

The problems with a big build envelope are more in warping parts, and in getting the mechanics right.

acutally im using megatronics 2.0, my set up is 12^3 right now, but the motion is up to 16x16x12. Slic3r is failing to do overhangs for large prints, im not sure why, maybe ill try to use a different slicer.
