Hi o I just went through integrating EMC2 for a 3d ABS/PLA printer
Its detailed here: transistor-man.com/3dprintbot.html The control boards have their source files and pcbs listed, i;m working on pushing the schematics up this week. I ended up doing exactly what was suggested earlier in a previous thread, having MCodes call extrusion or heating, and that's about it. I didnt end up purchasing / going with the reprap/makerbot control boards as i didn't need the complexity. Overall it was simple but took many weeks to get up to speed, learn the innerworkings of emc2, and get stepgen to work with nontrivial kinematics. As the printer is a SCARA arm, the kinematics and setup make it quite a bit more difficult to calibrate, which also took a bit of time to work through. If there are any questions shoot over an email, hopefully the documentation will be helpful for those few folks working with non-cartesian platforms (scara / kuka) -Dane transis...@transistor-man.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
