Are you printing internal or external perimeters first?

I have my flacs on a 2tb nvme drive in a little usb-c enclosure, kinda like a big USB stick. It's about half full... Also have a couple hundred records so I'm pretty agnostic on format I guess. Still use foobar2000 too to manage and play lol

 
 

Covered just 50 miles since I got it but live in a rather tiny town so range is perfect for me. First ebike but plenty of experience carrying a ton of stuff on xbikes, this thing is so rad for my use case

I don't have any underpants, just one or two pairs of jammie shorts

Oh man you should see our house at Halloween season

 

0.6 nozzle and still got decent detail. Ive been having a ton of fun and productivity with the big nozzle but can't wait to go back to 0.4 which I haven't used in a long time, or to try out the 0.2

So I already have a dual Z setup, but since it's a single driver for Z I just run a split cable to those two steppers, so have an open JST on that same driver. I figured that the draw wouldn't be an issue (and even my LED's are running off an independent 5v60a power supply that runs the wled setup, so nothing other than stock and the already extra z motor drawing power. Sounds like it might just work, hell let's give it a shot just need to print some parts will update with result

So, I have an extra stepper motor, lead screw/bearings/coupler, and an extra Z axis slot on my motherboard. I also have my camera (C920) mounted statically in the corner of my lack enclosure.

I'm planning on putting the extra stepper and lead screw in the corner and having the camera go up with the Z axis, but at a slight distance...

This all seems fine, the only issue I can forsee is having the current to drive the 3rd stepper - my board is a BTT skr mini v3, so I'll be running 3 Z steppers off of a single driver. Are there any inherent issues with this, or any others I'm not thinking of?

Thanks!

Great answer - I've considered a resin printer but my use case doesn't include any miniatures or game pieces, so I'm sticking with FDM, but if you're after super fine detail, more than you can get with 0.2 or 0.25, then go resin but be prepared for the mess, toxicity, and other drawbacks before you make the jump

Lol - yeah once I saw where it was all going I got the lack setup for my wife's sanity. I'm surprised I've been able to keep it as "tidy" as it is.... though I still end up having to clean out my corner every weekend.
Definitely won't be joining a filament of the month club, learned that lesson with cheese....so many meh cheeses

I'd ask what you're mainly using your printer for, and what you hope the new one will do that you currently can't.

Sat in dry box for 4h preprint and feeds from the dryer directly. Made it a super fast print (for me at least) 75mm/sec with an 0.8 nozzle. I'd printed a couple of these smaller for friends and one asked for a pencil cup sized one... but at that point in my learning it still would've been ~23h at this size... this one was done in 9 and for this purpose is OK

 
 

Pretty happy with how it turned out- 0.2 layer height in PETG, took about 9 hours

 
 

Kidding, was a carefully thought out change of extruder, but I've definitely bought a p1p with what this printer runs now...
