Intertingly enough, Prusa's shipping costs are so high, that they have to hide some of the costs into the product. They were smart enough to know that (Americans at least) would be repulsed by a $250 shipping bill. So they hide part of that cost into the product. It's not quite the same as giving free shipping, but it avoids the knee jerk reaction of dismissing buying a product because you know so much of your money is going to me "wasted" on shipping and not the product. For them it works. I thought it was very clever.

27:00 also 3d printers are less sensitive to homing drift, they simply care if you have a bed or not there. So except for the guys at voron I would not expect it to get better / more precise

Really enjoying when you have guests :)

Song?

First :D

Some good info in here. Thanks

Thanks for uploading these to youtube - I probably wouldn’t have discovered it otherwise. Started out with this episode and it was way helpful in my current startup process! 🙏🏻

For small beta testing and such its very good

Just got my v3 today, looking forward for that upgrade kit already.

absolut heplfull, thank you.

I don't have one for my electronics workshop, but I've been following you guys for about 1 year and all I have to say is great work! It sounds like a huge milestone!🎉

WANT

The coolest open source project!!!

Which version of OpenPNP and which OS did it run on?

Is this the Lumen v3 or v4? Asking because of the speed (for reference)

Why does the camera window say that the component is a 0603 part?

Wish you were from Europe!

I saw this is also 300% faster than the LumenPnP V3, that is crazy impressive. I have a feeling there will be a lot of update kits shipping when they are ready! What does it take to borrow some of your engineers for a little while?

Very cool! Wish I had an excuse to get one.

Ha - fun epsoide. Something to add. The "big boys" when they pick a name, they also pick up the URLs for things that might be negative. So for example Verizon, a made up name, also when out and grabbed "verizonsucks.". Uhaul wasn't so savvy, so they are stuck with uhaul-sucks., a site dedicated to how (truly) horrible that company can be. I will say, I suck at spelling, and google is no help with your name. It feels like you guys pronounce it opp-ahhh--low, or opp-ooo-low. Not opp-uuu-low. Cheers.

The Opuflo, clearly. I am good at naming things.

Iḿ at the poin where I'm the only pokemon and redoing all processes where I could hire shiny fancy pokemon for some tasks and outsource some work to the real shiny ones that run their own businesses

Only two likes?! You deserve another. Thanks for the video how-to's, definitely helpful!

Drinking game - take a drink everytime stephen says "Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo important".

i heard that full interview very much the hole time. huge thanks from germany Hannover to you dudes!

I've been a freecad user for many years, and ondsel really improved the ui a lot, never going to any closed cad ever. Using any proprietary sw you do not have full control over is an uncalculateable risk no business should take.

A lot of great info! Thank you

Hello, can we create custom feeders? I want to use a 2D plate with specified locations on it.

Those are really excellent, up there with the tooling one - thanks so much and please keep them coming!

good stuff... I'm likely purchasing a LumenPNP in the near future... and of course I ran a deep dive on used PNP machines and new PNP machines. I have 2x 1995 era Juki/Zevatech PM570L machines that can place simple parts pretty fast, but choke on anything strange (no vision, just laser-shadow). On the face of it the LumenPNP isn't amazing, the CPH isn't great compared to what I'm used to, and of course there's wrestling with OpenPNP and arguing with USB ports, camera lighting etc. Hovever of all the PNP manufacturers no-one is as transparent and building a community as much as you are. That value of having docs and having the source code etc etc will really set this apart from a closed source PNP. This is where the value is. It's not necessarily the CPH, but the fact that you can fix and maintain a machine moving forward. That's where the value is.

Putting links to all the tools in the notes would be great! Thnx for all the great info and first hand experience.

If the cash being held by inventory is an issue and you have a good relationship with your vendor you can spread deliveries, and therefore payments, over time. That way you can still get the discount without the full payment up front. You'll still be out the money over say 3-months, but it's an option if cash flow is tight. Some vendors might prefer it depending on what their own internal capacity is like.

This is the key to make this system useful for my low volume commercial work. My existing system is huge, heavy, complex, and very difficult/expensive to support.

These are awesome, so nice especially if standard assembly services don’t have the parts you want

Could you please develop on which tool/method you personally recommend to use for the solder paste deposition right before that PNP operation ? Do you do it with common solder paste through a stencil with something like a solder paste printer (If so, do I need to first apply the solder paste, heat it, then cool it, so that each footprint have solid solder on them, then position the SMD component with the PNP, then reheat to bind the solder to the components ? Or can I PNP on the solder paste directly ?)

Almost as fast as me by hand! 😏 But seriously, awesome tech, Stephen & Co. Makes me think we could make a small fortune developing and selling a silent vacuum pump 🤔

Impressive! I remember people saying on the discord that 0402 was difficult with the stock nozzle. Has there been some changes hardware/software wise that have enabled this to be more reliable? 0402 is essential for my use case 😅

I stick to 0603 as the minimum size (if forced past 0805) but great too see the LumenPNP can snatch up those evil little grains of 0402 dust.

Very nice, i am a happy LumenPnP owner, can you provide the vision pipeline used in this demo ?

absolutely amazing, i can’t wait to see what comes of this project in the future!

can it reliably place 0201 or 0.4 mm pitch BGA/QFN?

Max speed ? And acceleration?

I am dreaming of seeing an 0402 demo. Really hoping to sell me big commercial P&P for something small like this, but 0402 is really important.

does it support mispick detection ? can the machine be sped up faster than its currently running ?
