u/Gabriprinter

hi everyone, i have found an ultimaker 2 that i should be able to get for like 90-100 euros, i am quite interested in it for the cross gantry design and to make it a nice printer for fast-ish ABS printing as the only one i have that can manage ABS is a prototype corexy i'm always working on, so it could be nice to sort out this one as an ABS printer befor messing with the other.

tell me what you think about it, i've read good things about this printer reliability over time

hi everyone, since upgrading to orca 2.3.2 i can't use the exclude object function anymore as it ALWAYS crashes the print in 20 minutes for the timer too close error, someone knows the cause?

hi, i was searching for a simple buffer solution like the one for the bambulab AMS, i was thinking of going with a max and min switch, each one sending an extrude +5 or -5mm to the first extruder to maintain neutral tension.

is anything similar out there?

hi everyone,

i have 4 nema 17 42-60 motors that i'd like so use for an AWD setup, 2 of them are already on the printer and i'm thinking about adding these two, the problem is that two have 8mm shaft, the other 2 have a 5mm shaft.

could this cause anything strange? i would couple an 8mm and a 5mm on each belt to balance the rotational mass and any difference in the internal wiring.

the motors are from an ender 7
