That's a good idea if your mill can't reach the speeds needed. Of course
it costs nothing to test just run a stl file through a slicer and remove
all the M codes and see if it can keep up. Z is super slow so that's not
a problem.

I think using a screen only works on small size printers. Bigger screens
lack resolution.The phones and tablets have about 300 pixels per inch.
Look at monitors. The new "standard" is 4K. If it is 20" across that is
4000/20 pixels per inch or 200 pixels per inch. Not as good as an Appl

Now that I have 3d printer (about 3 weeks now) - I am an expert.
- My printer (monoprice select mini) runs at 50mm/s(118in/min) and that
is considered on the slow end and very high acceleration. I think
speed/acc is going to be your problem...

You could do this on a mill but how fast is your mill's jog speed? Mils
are typically slow but very accurate.
Buying a heated pad for your mill would be easy, just buy the part in any
size you like. It need not be as large as the mill's table. Mounting the
head could be as easy as placing it in
You can print without a heated bed and you can just slice a stl file and
remove all the M codes and run it on your mill and watch the velocity,
if it is constant I'd say you can print.

Gene,
Turns out that printing with a heavy machine like a mill presents some
problems, as the inertia is orders of magnitude higher than on 3D printers.
3D printers are designed to have as low an inertia as possible to simplify the
filament control dynamics. With a larger/heavier machine tho

Greetings all;
And the next logical question from me is:
Has anyone put a printhead on a std moving table milling machine, and
used it to do some 3d additive printing? I am "out of room" for more
machines, and that seems like a possible to do project. Doing it well
would remain to be seen.
