I'm working towards producing all the parts for a Mk2 extruder. If that works, we'll be fairly sure that CAPA is up to the job of building a Darwin.
I'm unlikely to replace all the bits of Zaphod, simply because Darwin is a more desirable product. It'll be faster and have a bigger build volume. Once I get the head speed up a bit I can actually draw finer detail too.
Y'know, you're making everyone else look bad. :^)
ReplyDeleteSo, how long before you've replaced all the Stratasys parts on your machine with home-built ones?
awesome! the printing quality & quantity has certainly been improoved :) keep up the good work up!
ReplyDeleteat the lab we are currently stuck in renovation work. so we'll need some time till we can start with our repstrap.

Vik :v)
Great job, Vik! Making a Mk 2.2 is my first priority when I get Tommelise printing properly, too.
ReplyDeleteGive me about another month, I think.
yeah, definitely dont REPLACE parts... you got a working machine, instead... i suggest building a NEW machine with the parts you print out.
ReplyDeletethen when it all works, you have 2 machines cranking out parts. =)
