Thanks for watching! I need your help for the next couple of video's, what would you like to see? 1 - Do you prefer short build video's that do not contain too much explanation? 2 - Would you like to see a video where I explain more of the tought that went into the designs? 3 - Are you interested in the how I made the CAD models?
@@DruNicholsMD Thanks for answering! Ive got a video on the printer build planned, but first want to make a short one about my absence and all that has happend with the projects in the last few months.
Hey guys thanks for watching! I will share the plans and files of the printer when it's done. There is still a lot that I change during the build so it is very likely that If I would share plans now they would not match the machine. But don't worry, I will publish them!
Hello Dru, my apologies for the delayed reply! I totally forgot to do so. The reason for the increased length is the increased XYZ resolution (mostly X and Y) and the decreased motor RPM (and pushrod travel speed) required when printing at the edge (XY) of the print area. You are right, it does indeed increase the weight a bit (but only a few grams, those carbon fiber rods are not that heavy) and unfortunately it does decrease the maximum printing height by about 10cm. It is well worth the sacrifice in my opinion! I will put it on my to-do list for the next printer video as a subject to explain a bit further with some examples. Would you be interested in that?

More videos on the thought process would be great!

What kind on mother board are you using?
Were is the plan and files for printer ?!
Yes give plan please !!!!!!!!
Yes

Okay thank
What was your reason for lengthening the push-rods? Doesn't that decrease your build volume, and increase the weight of the moving parts?
