News as it happens

Check here.

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 skeinforge to generate gcode that doesnt look awful.
  • 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

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
