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. JT On 5/17/2017 11:01 AM, richsh...@comcast.net wrote: > You

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

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... - I have printed pla with heat on the bed and

Re: [Emc-users] new thread inspired by Christophers question about 3d printer sliceing SW.

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

Re: [Emc-users] new thread inspired by Christophers question about 3d printer sliceing SW.

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. JT On 5/16/2017 8:27 AM, Gene Heskett wrote: > Greetings all; > > And the next logical question from me is:

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.
