| Re: C*H*U*D's 3D Printer I do. I can also use our Stratasys printer at work, but I thought it would be fun to see if I can get this to function. I'm more interested in building it, than I am with the parts I can make.

Interested to see how this turns out. I love my 3D printer, and originally thought about making one like this, but after seeing a friend of mine that is STILL adjusting things to get a single reliable print, I ended up ordering a ready to go printer (MB Rep Dual). As you said though, you are more interested in the build process rather than the after-results. Looks like you are off to a good solid start. I'll be watching... |

I was real interested in a home 3d printer for awhile but never could find anyone making parts that justify the time and expense. The idea is great but even the guys selling the kits were just making cups and yoda heads.

| Re: C*H*U*D's 3D Printer I think there's a key link missing here; someone with CAD skills that has a 3D printer that wants to make parts for the vehicles we drive...

| Re: C*H*U*D's 3D Printer If I could figure that out, I wouldn't be messing with toy trucks Quote:
I was planning on making a mount to work with the nut that's on there, but my boss said I could have this one which I will machine to be a bit easier to work with. I plan on doing that this week: | |

You can get an inexpensive cat at your local shelter, and I'm not totally convinced she's even necessary. | |

I've got a near carbon-copy of that cat. If it weren't for my son's attachment to it, I'd even pay for shipping... just to help someone with their build.

You could have saved a ton of money and got a copy cat. Here's one that prints 1 dimensional. You may need 3 copy cats for each axis http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=zWisZKWRUOY Wont let me embed properly? Last edited by 1tonscout; 12-08-2013 at 08:20 PM. |

You inspired me to work on my little laser cutter for side projects! What is your linear bearing material/bearing like a reamed Delrin block? Its always fun to see your builds man and keep up the good work. If kitty doesn't work out a guinea pig makes a handy pal |
