3D printing
A friend of mine got me into 3D priting. I started off with a MonoPrice Select V2, it was fun learning how printers work and how to generate the gcode, I've also started learning how to do my own drawings. I read about some issues with the Melzi board, so I decided to upgrade the motherboard to a MKS Gen v1.4, installed TMC2100 silent steppers for XYZ axis and DRV8825 for the extruder. Next I noticed some issues with the monoprice design, it wasn't very rigig. So looked around for ways to fix this and found the Haribo project(https://github.com/PrusaMK2Users/3030_Haribo_Edition). This upgrade was WELL worth it, the printer is now more rigid and with the new motherboard I have more features with the Marlin 2.0 firmware. I have since moved from Marlin to Klipper and not looking back, Klipper is just awesome!
Transformation begins.
The Melzi swapped to MKS Gen v1.4 with TMC2100 drivers.
Say hello to the volcano block.
New printer I've been working on is a HyperCube.
This setup is running a SKR V1.4 MCU @ 24V with TMC2209, a BFPTouch(which has been really great, might switch to BLtouch as it has a smaller form factor), Klipper on a Pi3 and a Google Nexus6 as a screen with the newest addtion being the WhamBam bed plate. I'm finding PETG and PLA both stick very well to the PEX coating, just need glue for PETG as it likes to stick too well. There is also a second extruder I have setup for dual filament printing.
I had to add an expansion board to my SKR to give me more driver ports as I'm dual a dual Z setup with separate drivers, so the second extruder is on the expansion board. Final step is creating the filament swap macro in Klipper, WIP.
