Adventures in 3D printing
I have decided that my next printer will be a delta printer, and although I have come up with numerous designs, the most recent one seems to be verging towards that of a Kossel Mini, so why not simply build a variant of one of these and have done with it. Now I could buy…

I use Plastic Weld to glue PLA pieces together when necessary, it uses capillary action to reach all the…
I believe I sorted most of the X/Y drift by adjusting the MAX_TRAVEL_ACCELERATION_UNITS_PER_SQ_SECOND_X Y and Z values in the repetier firmware to be the same as my lowered MAX_ACCELERATION_UNITS_PER_SQ_SECOND_X Y and Z settings (1000, 1000 and 100). The creep has not completely gone away but it is now down to one strands thickness, mainly in the X direction, every 10-20 layers,…
