great series dude! You are like the only dude who has made this sort of thing that: A. speaks English as his first language, B. isn't the completely silent "Easy DIY build" channels C. explains each part of this process in depth, and provides personal experience and arduino code! 1 question though, is it possible to get your extrusion layers thinner? Or is it because either the structural integrity of the build or the limits of the pen? seemed like your layers are very thicc
Tip for anyone who's doing this project I found that you can generate the g code for the 3d model with sli3r and remove all the words in notepad and select all then copy and download the .nc file from thinkernut and select all then cut and paste the g code and open it on grbl controller you can change all the extruder commands to what thinkernut said but I just turn on the 3d pen and set the speed to what is appropriate
I made (sort of) one from the previous series. The issues I had were with the transistor that gave the command to start extruding which I circumvented buy using a relay(!) and the fact that the motor moving the z axis was not powerful enough to lift the pen. I cut the pen in pieces to lighten the load, but eventually I quit the project. I did manage to print some stars one one layer though :)
Best motivational speech ever

I refound your channel! Enjoyed it years ago. Throw back to the custom OS video!
Why are you using cnc software when you can get a ramps board and use actual 3d printer software
Price I assume?
For fun
@@Sketchy_Dood I mean he could probably get away with ditching the CNC shield all together and just implementing a custom solution...
Thank you sir I'm following your method bud I have the same 3d pen but it's blue

Same here, i used a counter weight because the pen was to heavy. Sad to see the 3d printer was useless at the end...
@@2strokerides even a star will b more tan enough for me
@@SiddharthHaobijam thats true. It was a fun project
you r one of the bests !
Next Project. DIY SLA printer using old phone lCD panel and DVD drive.
old phones dont emit uv to cure resin unless you find some kind of special resin it doesnt make sense.
Make a temperature adjustable cooling/heating vest with Pelter coolers. Please.
so this is the exact some useless "3d printer" you built a few years ago except you stretched it over 5 videos? kinda disappointing.
4:24 You've flipped M03 and M05.
Because you didnt finished it earlier I HAD TO DO IT MYSELF !!!
no te entendi nada pero nos llega a salir con mi amigo con todos los materiales a medias que tenemos y te voy a buscar para darte un beso. buen video
Nice video!
Great vid really cool
Is the print area size according to the shaft length of the stepper motor?
ok cool but print benchie the boat
:)
Is there a way to use actual 3D printing software with this but still use a arduino uno with the individual spark fun drivers.
Trying to build one.
It mentioned a ramp board, or 3D printing arudino shield in the last few vids, not sure if it would work with an uno you might need a different one
Can't you just run the wires directly to the motor and put resistors for the right voltage for the motor extruder????
Can you print a benchy
Can someone tell me how he used freemill to generate layers of the 3d model
Yay! 10th like.
Amazing!
also, I'm first so don't try!
Quick question, Are you able to upsize or downsize this?
Not at all. The basics are usually the exact same. But any design based on disk drive stepper motors work best on small scales
That was a disappointing.
anet a8 / ender
better go with these printers guys.
but your project is cool tho, still.
