Finally reviving the mmu2

A long needed hiatus. I haven't had the best love for the mmu2 but when it's working it's pretty darn amazing.

I was on the beta test team and experienced it's ups and downs first hand. In t...

Feeling refreshed.

Wedding season is catching up to me and decided to take a mini social media hiatus where I only spent certain times of the day online while I caught up to editing and my wedding couples.

Alright friends it's time to figure out what to do next. I have some a couple of ideas and let see which you choose.

1. I know I need more cameras for live streams. Probably a close up cam ...

Tuning a new profile.

Thanks to the hard work Yuri has put in to bring Linear Advance 1.5 to the Prusa ecosystem I've been able to tune retractions even more.

This is PETG and it's printing amazingly w...

Quick surgery day.

Took the time to do a warranty swap on the very first mosquito hotend I bought. I was order number 36 I believe when it first launched and with that took some growing pains which were quickly resol...

CF parts going out today!

Getting all the orders together for shipping. Soooooooo much CF Petg from Atomic printed.

Thanks to all these orders I've been able to push 20kg of Petg to test out how durable the Slice Van...

Warhammer MK3 upgrade day!

I'm finally going to sit down and properly terminate the wires, switch to a BL Touch, and fine tune the duet powered MK3 I have.

If I have time I'm going to try and mess with a few other thi...

Mosquito time!!!

Oh yes! My stock MK3 is going to be pushed a bit to test this beauty.

Not expecting too much but I will run some test objects and only swap the extruder so hopefully we have a good set of si...

Discord????

Would anyone think the value of being a patron would be more worthwhile if I offered a personal discord to patrons so they can reach out and ask questions?

I've seen a few members drop off, 9...

Artillery SW-X1

I'm impressed. I've also had some issues.

Issues first.

The first issue was incorrect nozzle. Lol. I was immediately swapping for a p3d coated volcano nozzle and noticed they used one ...

Duet 2 firmware

For those who'd like to see my configs for the Duet 2 MK3 here are all the ones I edited and I've also included my Z gantry level macro that mimics the Z calibration done on the MK3.

So far ...

Software downgrade is better?

So to make my super high end videos I've been using Adobe Premiere. While it's complicated and somewhat easy to understand it's slow and has caused me some grief. Today I decided I'd try a few free...

Update!

Wedding season is upon me so I took a little social media break from Friday till now so if it's been a little too quiet I apologise.

I mean I was still on but was only checking once a day vs...

That Bunny Science

So why do I have a duet powered MK3???

If I were to just add mods like this 3.5:1 gearing box on a stock prusa I'd have to run to my computer, edit the microstepping line to 1/16 as I didn't ...

My day job

Sorry it's been a bit sporadic with posts. I've got a lot to post about but need time to relax and write them up but my photography job is starting to creep in so I need to start balancing my sched...

A day of live printing.

One of the things I love to do is go to art shows and local meetups and setup a live printing area and show off a bunch of the sexy prints I keep on my shelf. Today was no different.

Our big...

Progress with Duet!

So here are some neat things about Duet.

Macros!

Basically Duet runs on gcode. Everything is gcode. Your firmware? Gcode. Duet allows you to make macros made up of gco...

Running on duet is better and killing me.

On the top we have here the Duet 2 running on the Bear MK3. The area where it gets more matte I sped up everything to 150% from the base 120mm infill, 80mm inner perimeters, and 40mm external perim...

The SKR V1.3 board

Einsy retro is dumb!

So today I ripped out the Einsy Retro and swapped in a full duet board. 

Why????

Apararently I've learned that the super small rsense chip compared to the full einsy Rambo is an is...

Catching up on CF print orders!

I've added additional help by converting my Abrams printer by RC-CNC over to making CF Petg parts for my orders.

I have 4 outstanding orders and 4 are sitting in my basement waiting for the ...

Einsy retro hates me 😅

Hours and hours of changes and questions to smart people and nobody had come up with an answer.

Basically whenever we get to retractions or lots of small moves the extruder decides to just g...

Bunny hop hop!

As I mentioned previously I wanted to test the theory of gearing reducing 602. I know it has but I wanted a way to test without having to rip the entire hotend off.

Thanks to people at bunny...

Making headway.

Custom prusa is of course exhibiting the same issues a regular prusa has which is some minor uneven extrusion but using the 0.9 degree motors on the x and y have completely eliminated vertical band...
