BTW, I'm using Tinkercad for my robotic parts. It is way simpler to use than Fusion 360, but can give awesome results, if you do not have too specialized needs.
Search for my name in Tinkercad. Most of my stuff is private, but some are public. You can also go into the Gallery and look at the Staff Pick. There is some cool stuff.
+Stephane Lemay It took me about 10 hours. That includes fixing the rods. I took my time, I wanted to make sure everything was straight, level and square. I must have done a good job assembling it, because this printer prints beautiful and accurate. 👍
Cool. I'm doing robotics at home and I have designed my own parts for my biped robot. Unfortunately, the cost of 3d printing is quite high, which is why I want to buy my own printer, even if the quality of the parts are not as good as the one I would print. My parts were printed using an SLS 3D printer, because the parts were printed using nylon 12. ABS / PLA are not as good for robotic parts (I think) but for the robot body, it should work OK. Show us some of your print!
Tony Montana Hey there, I don't have the time to shoot that video right now. Here's a video that helped me out a lot. ruclips.net/video/N8COYwJQrgA/видео.html I hope that helps.
Yeah that is really helpful video! Thanks a lot that is exactly one that i was looking for. A8 so much community, A6 still sucks at this matter. Did you change anything in your Config file? Comment/uncomment anything before flashing skynet or like he in his video just copy it and then only calibrate the z endstop? I'm not sure when to do it and if I remove the stock z endstop and want to calibrate the sensor not sure if the nozzle will not hit the table. Firstly calibtarte it with stock endstop and then add the sensor and remove the stock?
Tony Montana I have the cheap cube sensor ,l had to do things differently for the z-offset. If you're using the sensor and the mount that they show in the a6 instructions for skynet. Just follow the instructions, and you'll be fine. If you're using the cube sensor I have a special instructions write up, where the z offset calibration procedure is different. If you need that let me know. The sensor replaces the z end stop. You need to do a test to verify that the sensor you installed is working. That's also in the skynet instructions.
Actually I ordered this sensor (www.gearbest.com/3d-printer-parts/pp_591321.html) and it should be here in a few days I want to know exactly what I have to do so if the sensor arrive I will finish the procedure in few minutes. Any help from you will be much appreciated sir.
Tony Montana Ok, that's the exact same sensor I got. If you got a few days, i'll make a video for that sensor. I'll talk about the special requirements for that sensor, and include some links for the mount to print, and instructions and all. I'm not gonna do the general skynet instructions, as that's been done to death, but I will emphasize what's different about our sensor compared to the one that they use. Cool?

Stephane Lemay I'm gonna try that. is it free?
Yes it is!
Stephane Lemay Do you post your robot stuff online...I'd like to see it. maybe you need this 3 d printer💡...LOL

Stephane Lemay I'm playing around with the tinkercad tutorials right now! I like out. ⭐
Awesome! How long did it took to build, out of timelapse?

Will you do the video with the skynet and a bed leveling sensor? Im confused what to set in arduino config file :(
