Awesome project, can’t wait to see it finished! Also I felt the pain on the printer, fix one part for another to come up and then have to wait for parts, and very viscous cycle.
Thanks Taylor! Stepper motors could have been a good option. The one thing I was worried about with stepper motors was losing steps. You can send a specific number of steps to control the output, but if things somehow get out of sync, there's no way of knowing. Using an encoder gives you more confidence in the absolute position. I do have some of those little stepper motors that are geared which would help out with not losing steps because they have way more torque. If this doesn't work I may have to switch tactics and try stepper motors
This is a cook project, excited to see it finished!

It's a hard pill to swallow
Watching him try to cold pull that blob off his extruder was emotionally scarring.
Oh man what a mess. Nice recovery. Can't wait to see the finished product in part 2
I'm keeping the solid blob of pla as a desk ornament. And as a reminder... 🤦♂️
This is the second video I've seen from you and I'm pretty excited to see more
Thanks! I have about 70 other videos, feel free to check those out
This will be a cool project!
I'm really excited about this and also very unsure if it'll actually work
You'll get it working!
Just found your channel. Really like what you're doing - keep it up!
I always wanted to try to run a channel like yours, it's good inspiration. 😎
You should totally do a channel of your own. I'd love to see your projects
to avoid that i just watch the first few layers go down but really cool projekt
In this case, the first few layers were just fine. I think the issue happened quite a bit later on after I had gone to sleep
if you'd solved it like I did when I was a kid you'd need to build a robot to remove the stickers and put them back on in the right places.
That is actually a funny idea
Your print head looked like revenge of Spiderman
I was thinking more like revenge of Chipotle
@@bytesizedengineering that's after you eat it.
Love this! Can't wait to see the end. I love your videos. I am curious, why didn't you consider using stepper motors rather than dc?
