@@fail_fast I would go with servo for high speed and ballscrew instead of belt drive, not that belt aren't good but for high speed I would personally prefer ballscrew, but man, if you can nail it at that speed, I want one.
@@ataxy Servos would be incredible I might be able double or triple my speeds unfortunately even a budget setup would cost 10x compared to steppers. Also, I have made significant improvements in speed since this video and the issue now is that I can't melt the plastic fast enough. Ball screws for the X and Y would be very heavy and bulky. Adding them would make a bigger, slower printer. Belts are easy, light and cheap
@@fail_fast would really like to see the progress you made, have you got better precision, as in this video your head seems to loose position on the x and y axis.
@@ataxy good eye! the linear rail is a little worn out. I have a new one on way 😁 A bit problem was that the motors were skipping because I was accelerating too fast. Since this video I have reduced the toolhead weight by half and can now accelerate 5x faster
Think you have some seaweed growing on your Hull XD
it chirps :)
are you using stepper or servo?
Stepper motors
