obscurereality

What a long day… I went to work, had to have t0ast to the airport before 5, and then spent 9 hours at Hive. It was as good as xmas eve could have been without Trent and Christina around. We drank beer, ate pizza, watched movies (Grandmas Boy during the video below) and built stuff.

Progress was made though. Not as much as I had hoped for, but better than nothing.

The best result, is that the Z axis works. I was worried that there would be too much binding, or that the steppers I got wouldn’t do the task. The steppers work fine, and I was able to solve the binding for the most part. I do plan on turning the X axis around, so Z has more torque on X’s heavy side.

I shot a video, of course. As usual, it’s pretty boring, and this one a bit slow.
I’m using ReplicatorG and a Stepper Driver. I haven’t gotten the extruder board to move the stepper yet.

Back to the grind tomorrow. I’ll post more about these final build stages Sat. probably.
