  FDM Multicolor optimisation and how to save print time as a designer

Pi Pro V 1.0

Mels3D Pi Pro V1.0 is an Octa-Core 3D printer Motherboard based on Raspberry Pi 2040. The RP2040 is a 32-bit dual ARM Cortex-M0+ 

As of now, Mels3D pi pro is the first ever octa core 3d printer motherboard ever being developed.

The motherboard is capable of running 16 Steppers which pushes the limit of whats possible. The Pi pro V1 Is being developed to integrate Mels3D Color Madness, A 7 color mixing Extruder which needs 7 Extruder steppers, which no other 3D Printer motherboard can handle alone.

Started as a fun project, It got some potential and as an audio engineer, we love the filter caps, can be used as a mini power backup.

Features :

16 Stepper support

Power supply filter and UPS

Additional GPIO pins for expansion and Development


Features in Developmental stage : 

A Standalone motherboard that can run Marlin without the need for an additional raspberry Pi.


PI PRO ZERO
Pi Pro Zero is the created for making the development of Pi Pro V1 simpler and cheaper as Marlin Hal coding is complex with more peripheral pins. The solution was creating a standard board where the additional features can be worked on.

Articulated Seahorse

  FLEXI SKELTON SEAHORSE (Skip to the end for Baby Seahorse) (work in progress blog) I want to tell my experience and story about the creation of MELS 3D LABS Articulated Seahorse. Of all the Articulated designs, this has a unique story and place among them all. Early 2024, i was researching for an articulation no other designer has ever made. It should be an interesting creature as well, my research led me to seahorse, a beautiful creation of nature.  THE SCULPTING My sculpting workflow evolved over the years,  a systematic, hence its time consuming but foolproof approach to perfection. Typically i sculpt 2-3 days straight, mostly skipping  breakfast as i get hyper obsessive. The sculpting path : Typically i could create a link and the body section, where then i can duplicate it, then scale it down and keep duplicating it up to the tail. That would save a lot of time and effort. But for the seahorse, This wasn’t the case. The body is curved, hence even after duplica...

360 Print-in-place Link

### Unlocking Potential: The Social Impact of 360 Links Design In a world where technology continually reshapes our lives, the 360 Links design stands out as a beacon of innovation with profound social impact. This design leverages the power of additive manufacturing to deliver not only technical prowess but also significant benefits for individuals and society.
