News as it happens
Hardware To do:
general
- find out how to print more accurately. THis may also fall under software to do.
Huxley
- put steel tip on -- not sure what this means
- fix Z-axis opto with bracket so it can somewhat easily be moved up and down to make sure the home is in the right spot.
- Secure flags with hot glue or something so that they dont fall off and are in the correct spots. --Maybe done?
- make sure filament feeder works -- there might be a delay due to the nature of the system that will have to be accounted for in the software.
- test run
- make sure nuts and bolts are tight.
Hardware done:
Huxley
- put steel bed on
- Z-axis optop bracket printed.
- clean up wires everywhere so huxley looks pretty
Software to do:
Huxley
- maybe fix delays witht he huxley due to teflon filament feed.
Linux box
- Get the linux box to see the rinter- i think Ill need a usb/serial emulator first, also a way of getting the printer to talk to the internet.
M11x
- Get google sketchup to generate STL files. My work in progress here.
- figure out blender and importing and exporting stl files, also see if there are any CAD addons.
- figure out why the latest repsnapper isnt generating gcode
- get blender to work in generating STL files
- get meshlab to work in producing files that google sketchup can import.
Software done
M11x
- print something modeled in sketchup successfully.
- installing software on a laptop running windows 7
General to do
- investigate AMF.
- investigate higher precision threaded rods as a means of increasing printer accuracy. This could be HUUGE bitch.
Wish list:
- Print hat for huxley
- print tie fighter
