Re: Hacking the HP45

What I do is determine when to change the pattern I am printing based on position, but the distance between each drop based on frequency. If I am moving at 25mm/s, I will be spitting out 600 drops of ink per second per nozzle, but if I am moving at 50mm/s I will spit out 1200 drops per nozzle per se...

Re: working on slicer in blender

Oasis controller is and has always been a temporary tool to control the Oasis printer. It is not that refined, and is very sub optimal. It is the typical temporary solution that became permanent. 1. That really depends on what we want to do here. Do you want your files to be printed using Oasis cont...

Re: working on slicer in blender

You might need a fifth printhead for clear binder, or make the K (black) by combining CMY. From what I heard this actually works well enough to get good black. It is possible to chain 4 controllers together. Each controller is a separate piece of hardware that can run on its own. The encoder signal ...

Re: GlaDOS lamp

Looking great. It is one of the more complex prints on this site, so I'd say kudos for already getting this far. Cannot wait to see it move.

Re: working on slicer in blender

Hello, What type of printers are you aiming at writing a slicer for? Depending on the answer it really changes what the output should be. If you are trying full color on FDM like machines you want a different format from 3DP type machines. Since I mostly deal with 3DP and dislike complex standards, ...

Re: Layer skipping of Plan B printing

Hello, I read both your files. Gcode was fairly clean and did contain the correct number of layers. Why it only prints 6 is a bit of a mystery. The PlanB code is a bit of a mess. It only starts at 5mm, so the first 30 layers are missing on that side of the code. Also it toggles the same nozzle a doz...

Re: Hacking the HP45

Hello,

At this point I do not share beyond the schematics and source code. This will probably change in the future, but this will be where it sits right now.
