  • DIY Printers
    Recently I fell into the core-XY style of printers found this Website for DIY printers and other machine but couldn't find any that fit the budget($$400-$600), and a lot of these build don't even have a parts list. Does anyone know of any printer kit or self-sourced that fall into my budget and also Core-XY. Source: 12 months ago
  • Is there a subreddit for how to make your own 3D printer?
    A few years ago I also designed and built my own 3D printer (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2905423). The Reprap Community, as well as sites like Thingiverse and OpenBuilds (https://openbuilds.com/), were great to get inspiration. There is also a Reprap Wiki with plenty information: https://reprap.org/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Trying to Build a Pen Plotter
    Might be better to ask in a CNC community. Try Lazer cutting. Their builds are probably closest to plotters in terms of speeds and weight etc. You might also like to look at https://openbuilds.com/ specifically their ACRO system as I think this is probably the best system suited to a plotter.

  • any European shop that ships worldvide extrusions etc.
    Openbuilds.com ships internationally, and they occasionally do free international shipping even. a couple weeks back they had free international shipping even. with black friday sales coming up next week they may redo it. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Benchtop CNC Recommendations?
    Check out https://openbuilds.com/. They have configurations for CNC, 3D printing, laser/plasma cutting, and more. Source: almost 2 years ago

  • Building a CNC, step one done!
    I don't know what's on screen, but if you're looking for a nice, cross platform program to send some gcode, I really like UGS: https://winder.github.io/ugs_website/. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Lightly Screeching axis motors, will not move.
    Connect the 3018 to a PC, use a gcode sender like Candle or gSender or cncjs or UGS and then type $$ in the console. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Billet Benchy... I got tired of printing the 3DBenchy so I machined it from Aluminum
    I'm a little cheap+lazy and I just use a simple electrical contact probe using https://winder.github.io/ugs_website/ and the probe plugin. Flipping the part I generally butt the stock against a fixed parallel, then probe using the tool for X+Y (offset by the tool radius), and Z probe as well off some of the un-machined stock.

  • Can't start spindle with offline controller anymore (Sainsmart 3018)
    4 - Can you try to start the spindle from a PC (you will need a gcode sender: Candle, UGS/UGP, cncjs)? Source: almost 3 years ago
