Not sure what printer you have, but outside a scant few most need tuning in all axes before they print dimensionally accurate. I had to make pretty big changes before mine would reliably print to dimension. Start by calibrating the extruder axis, then extrusion width, then x/y/z. I used Pronterface to read/write settings to my printer's firmware, following this guide: https://all3dp.com/2/how-to-calibrate-a-3d-printer-simply-explained/
For these prints I used a Flashforge creator 3, mainly as I can print 2 pulleys simultaneously. It's previously shown to be dimensionally accurate, however I admit I don't think I've ever run a calibration cube on it. Being a closed system I can't use Pronterface. But it should be better than most i3 style clones out the box.
Rhino kits? Yes they exist, the wait is short and it's the 2 motors (with the drives already sorted) and the mainboard everything plugs into that plugs into the computer.
I don't believe so. Okona is working on a full DIY kit to go with the VPForce motor kits, but if I am not mistaken he is going to produce and sell them.
@will3d good guide for 3D printer tuning https://ellis3dp.com/Print-Tuning-Guide/ This is actually for the VORON printers but can also be applied to most others.
The GitHub that AsBurli linked for mabo1972 and a few other options you might find are built for the 57BLF size motor kits. If you buy the bigger motors (86BLF) you will need to modify the files or design your own.
I would like to know that too. By copying the weapon_release effect I added a very simple feedback for the flaps on all Jet Aircrafts using the aircrafts.py file (not realistic at all :D). But when I tried to add Landing gear transition and airbreak (which I believe are their status values - noted in Purple on the picture) I was unable to do. I am too dumb to understand any of this and I just "monkey see monkey do" with the already added effect. Maybe someone more clever can use the Runway_Rumble or the Buffeting telemetry as a model to help us implement the others.
Thanks, I'll take a look. I did complete my calibration cubes. They turned out a little over sized. X - 20.1 Y - 20.08 Z isn't really an issue in this situation.
So perhaps that .5-1% is what is causing the issue. Whilst I don't think I can tune that out in the printer, I can simply scale accordingly. Might be worth a shot.
Can you modify the steps/mm through the printers user interface? Is there a settings/advanced settings menu option? Most firmwares I have seen allow this so you don’t have to connect to a PC
There are a few out there, including the one walmis modified to make the stock Rhino from on github. There are a few iterations of Propeller's floating around but I don't have links off-hand.
As @.aniron mentioned I am developing a kit to accompany walmis's motor kits. My focus on 1. kinematics 2. form factor and 3. mounting options, and got the shell down to a 150mm cube that can be bottom/top/front or back mounted. I've been posting progress on in the showcase channel https://discord.com/channels/965234441511383080/972180323787997255/1087148842589360128
You’ll probably have to go into G-code to do it. I had to with my little Monoprice Mini. Either direct USB injection or a lump of G-Code on an SD card to run.
Hey @warwolf09, So the last Shipped RHINO is #0070 on 2023-03-29 Average waiting time from preorder to shipped is 147 days, median is 182 days, max is 214 days 70 Rhinos are shipped in total
I’ll download the software but been out of town for a couple weeks and will continue to be for another week or so. So was just curious while I’m on the road and can’t do anything anyway
Nice. I currently have a cm3 with long extention on a center desk mount. I’ll probably have to use a shorter extension or not one at all with the vp I’m guessing.
