After a couple of months of pretty much solid design and little printing (although I have invested in a CR-10 s5 for bigger prints) I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The MKIII new design b...

Well, the basic main body design is getting there. All the greebles are designed and fixings done, redesigned the vents plate, so much easier to build. The utility arms have been today’s task, simpl...
2018-10-21 13:49:44 +0000 UTC View PostThe new body design is moving along well, countless updates and fixes I’ve incorporated. The focus is to make it three rings as single prints for the 500mm bed guys, take out as much weight as possi...
2018-10-20 13:39:43 +0000 UTC View PostLots of designing recently and not a lot of new models. I’m working on the new MKIII body at the moment. Originally started as taking the printed design and linking together to create three rings. A...

Hey, I've spent most of today on the MKIII, 3 ring body. I was working on the split design and making it into a single body and then cutting it. Hit loads of issues with support and there's also a few...
2018-09-09 20:28:47 +0000 UTC View PostHi, we have R2, R4, R5 and R7 available as MKIII domes, these are specifically designed for the 500mm beds, no internal fins, so less filament, all use 70 degree for details so no support to remove an...

Continue to build the MKIII collection, the R7 dome is now done and available. Single print with minimal support.. enjoy!
Happy printing,

2018-09-01 09:22:19 +0000 UTC View PostHi all, please note I've just uploaded a new R2 d8ome (MKIII), the original had a weird corruption in the STL, came in at 80+MB, low res and had a piece missing on the ring element. Just noticed and f...

R2 MKIII single print dome as the 500mm bed interest explodes! I've revised the single print dome completely incorporating many "simplifications" to ease a single print dome with virtually no support....

I'm testing the 70 degree overhang, so I've redesigned the two rings (for the R4 at this moment). Basically rather than split the print so the 90 degree overhang prints separately, I've used a 70 degr...
2018-08-29 19:50:19 +0000 UTC View PostQuick update as it’s been a little while since I posted. Just testing PLA plus, on paper it looks like the ‘droids we’re looking for’ prints like PLA with no warping, stronger and more flexibl...

I've done quite a bit of rework on the R7 dome to test some changes. Basically whilst the separate panels are easy to paint, they're harder to get fixed in and aligned, so I've added the panels into t...

Added a pot initially for position control feedback, you can just see it on the left. Works very well with a good degree of accuracy. I’ve just run the first Arduino controlled movement but I only h...

So the first test is to try using a 12v drill motor to drive the center leg lift. It’s pretty torquey and I’ve geared it down. I’ll drive using a DC driver and Arduino (dedicated Arduino for the...

So I’ve received my brushless motor driver (still waiting for the motor). This is for the leg lift mechanism. Hoping the brushes will work but this is a powerful backup just in case :-)
