1. The HICTOP 3D printer, which has miraculously come back to life,
appears to need calibration or possibly work on the feed stock system.
In addition this particular printer type does not use closed loop
feedback induced positioning of any of the belt driven elements and this
lack of feedback can cause severe product distortion. So I need to
research this and the worst part of this is I think I have an answer to
close the feedback loop on the belt driven X & Y axis but how to
implement this solution in software is daunting.
I've attached a photo of my 3d printer, which sadly gathers dust while I
finish up a project. It has decent proprioception, but I had to upgrade
the visual feedback system with external lenses in recent years.
