The frog is nice but for myself I collect Turtles
Good
Still need to run a benchy…
What is the requirements for a laser printer while all do you have to have
Do you mean an SLS printer ?
@Jonathan_Cohen Nice! Also been building one with 1100 mm 2040 OpenBuilds verticals for quite a while now. Just curious, why did you go with such a small bed? It must be able to print well outside the bottom triangle.
@Petr_Sedlacek I wanted to keep the bed in line with the horizontal so I kept the bed diameter to 330mm.
@Petr_Sedlacek Its different from what I’m used to. The mounting to the effector is really stable but the cable has a little bit of a kick to it, so I’ll have to tune my settings.
I have a total of 4 flex3drives. They work well. Your print speed and results will improve if you swap to a nema 8 to drive it. It has just enough torque with much lower rotor inertia and lower inductance so you can switch directions quicker without missing steps.
@Ben_Malcheski I have a Nema17 on there right now, which is what I had. Which specific stepper motors are you using ?

I run mine at 500mA. Had to make a new motor mount plate.
You can buy them through their site too.
Wonderful
