Well Fanuc Wire EDM machine back in comission (*) as of this morning having satisfactorily cut some bits using the new Vee guides. I even gave the polycarbonate water screens a good clean up with Windowlene and the tinwork a clean up with Flash - it fairly well sparkles now 

So no excuses - unbox the P1S combo from it's three boxes. Just spent a while watching set up videos !

* About time too - I started this Vee guide business over five years ago 

I had to save this old drum scanner from the scrap.  It's got too many nice useable bits to waste so...

What can I , or you - if you want it,  do with it?


To explain. The film drum was placed between centres of the carriage, light sources form inside or outside illuminated a pixel. As the drum was rotated by the motor and encoder on the left the light was analysed by a the three colour sensors in the camera box (scanner 3)  . The whole carriage is shifted right,  on 19mm supported linear rails by another stepping motor with encoder

The camera box has a focus motor and orifice disc on another motor.

My first thought was coil winder , especially large Tesla type coils .

Thoughts  ?

Yeah, that's visible for me as well, but 'insert attachment' - well not actually a button - doesn't show up. What I mean is shown in the pic from another SMF forum:

I can see it.  I checked, I can also see it on a new topic.

So I've bought a Bambu Labs P1S Combo - half of which arrived this morning

I know nothing about the Cetus (except it's a bed-slinger, IIRC, not a core-XY), so the Bambu is going to prove to be a world apart from it. In a good way.

IIRC, the "Combo" is shipped with the AMS unit inside the printer, so it's probably all arrived, not just half of it...

I struggled to justify the price of a Bambu (plus they'd just recently announced that they were going closed-shop with their software, and that if you wanted to use all the features of the printer you had to use their online services), so I went for a Qidi Plus 4 instead. Superb machine, and now I have their equivalent of an AMS, I can do most things a Bambu can do - also slightly bigger, although the Qidi experience isn't as polished as the Bambu one...



It replaced an Ender 3, and it's just so much better I actually threw the Ender away!
