WOODEN PRINTER BUILD & UPGRADES

The project started as a 1 meter Cartesian Cube. But for easy transportation around the house, I had to reduce the printer width to 83 cm from 1 meter.  Printer  details can be found below ; Max tested printing speed : 150mm/s Best results as of now : 75mm/s with 550 acceleration & 0.04 junction Deviation Printer dimensions : Length : 120 cm  Width : 83 cm Height : 83 cm  Current Print Dimension : 60 × 60 × 50 cm Print Dimension upgradable : 120*83*83 cm Endstops set to : 48x * 38y * 28z cm Firmware : Marlin 2.0.6.1 upgraded to 2.0.8.2 with SKR2 Steps per unit  A4988 (100, 100, 2600, 95)  DRV8825 (200, 200, 5200, 190) Iinear Advancement K = 0.22 Baud 250000 # printing Material (All metal) [PLA, ABS, Nylon, ASA, TPU etc] # 1.75mm filament # 100k ntc b 3950 Thermistor # 12v 40w heating cartridge # E3D V6 All Metal J-Head Hotend Extruder PID Tuning 195°c Kp : 41.88  Ki : 7.41 Kd : 59.18 185°c Kp : 42.65 Ki : 7.23 Kd : 62.90 # Fat Nema extreme Extrusio...

Acid Bed Leveling. The Madness Continues

Acid bed leveling is an experimental technique developed by Mels3D for achieving a perfectly flat build plate in 3D printing. This innovative process uses acid etching to precisely remove material from the surface of the build plate, correcting any irregularities.   Key Points:  1. Precision The acid etching process allows for extremely fine adjustments, resulting in a highly accurate and uniform surface.  2. Surface Quality  This method can produce a smoother surface compared to traditional mechanical leveling methods, enhancing print adhesion.  3. Durability Plates leveled through acid etching tend to maintain their flatness longer, reducing the frequency of re-leveling.  4. Material Compatibility Typically used on metal build plates like aluminum or steel, which can endure the etching process.   Process: 1. Preparation  The build plate is cleaned thoroughly to eliminate any contaminants.   2....
