I had purchase a EZ-B developer kit about 1 year ago. I was able to build some basic robots and had a blast. I wanted to build something more solid, so my wife gave me 3D printer for fathers day. I have downloaded the STL for JD Humanoid and I have started to print some of the parts. I have a Da Vinci 3D a printer and am wondering how many cartridges it will take to print the hold robot?
I am using the XYZprinting PLA Filament Cartridge, 1.75 mm Diameter, 600g, Nature to print.
yes, I purchase the Simplify3D and used it to print, I just did not know you could print the open side up and I will try with support.
You can print from any angle.... It's not carved in stone... You need to however, print in the orientation that provides the best results.... Sometimes this is trial and error... You need to use supports for overhangs and or steep angles... Start with "print supports" for angles greater than 30deg and work from there.... You may need to go up or down a little in order to get best results... This may vary depending on if you are using PLA or ABS...
Thank for your reply, I was able to finally get working. (I still think that there is something off with my printer and there is a weird burn on the bed. I reached out to amazon, and they are sending me a replacement. )
Check out the image of my 1st prints. I also think that my support settings are not right, I ended up throwing away allot of support in one piece was almost as much as the actual piece.
YAY!
Here are my settings for support, and I am using PLA do they look right?
That looks really good! There will be a lot of support material sometimes.
Cool, thank you am printing away
and learning how to remove all the support carefully... (already broke a piece, hehehe)
Last question, now that I am printing all the parts and cleaning them up. Where can I purchase all the screws that I would need to hold everything together?
I have already purchase the DIY kit, so I have servos, camera and processor, and I am going to order the battery and charger today.
On the servo parts you reuse the servo screws. For the Jd back I used the long extra servo screws that came in a dev kit in the little bags. I might have used the same for the head or I might have stole them from an EZb base from the dev kit.
