Webshop closed and Limited support for the Classic CraftBots

We don’t sell Craftbots of the new generation, as the Flow series anymore. We limit ourselves supporting the classic, or legacy, Craftbots. That’s from the first Indiegogo 12V Craftbot, Craftbot plus and 2, Craftbot XL and the IDEX Craftbot 3.We try to keep parts on stock, but some will not be available anymore in time. Because of the chip shortage the Pr3dator 3.1t PCB isn’t available at the moment (used in all flat cable Craftbots, as the CB2, +, XL). The 4.2 PCB for the CB3 is available, as the 2.0 for energy chain PCB’s.Helping and selling parts is just

Ceramo: White and Black Ceramics. Print your own espresso cup!

Ceramo: White and Black Ceramics. Print your own espresso cup!

Ceramo is now available in black and white! See here. After polishing with waterproof sandpaper this filament has the look and feel of Ceramics. It can withstand 100 degree Celcius after printing. Keramische 3D prints zijn geweldig! Zie tevens dit artikel op 3ders.org. Helaas, klei is moeilijk 3D te printen en vergt een andere extruder en tevens een compressor om te extruderen. Onze Russische leverancier van SBS heeft daarom besloten om het beste volgende filament te ontwikkelen: een kunststof met de eigenschappen van keramiek, met inbegrip van de oppervlakte afwerkingsopties en de mechanische eigenschappen. Met deze nieuwste ontwikkeling is Filamentarno  één van de meest vernieuwendste ontwikkelaars van 3D

New Silicone Cover “Joep” for the first version of the CB3 hotend. No picking up Ooze anymore!

New Silicone Cover “Joep” for the first version of the CB3 hotend. No picking up Ooze anymore!

The first version of the hotend for the CraftBot 3 is picking up ooze a lot, as the bottom is bare metal and rough. When picking up ooze it accumilates and eventually drops burned lumps of filament at unwanted spots of your print. The next v2 generation of the hotend of the CraftBot 3 is now covered at the bottom as well with silicone.  The downsite of that v2 hotend is that it uses a kind of “Volcano” nozzles, but with another thread than usually used by E3d (0.75mm thread in stead of 1mm).  There are limited nozzles available by CraftUnique

Y is the new Z: rotate the slice direction

Y is the new Z: rotate the slice direction

Hi all, I was somewhat triggered by some initiatives as topolabs, and some other initiatives in this post https://groups.google.com/forum/#!profile/kisslicer-refugee-camp/APn2wQc-rNNX26UaaTIKKFDStszHE97yGLdLAqqE9-f4OZHGmVhDtXwTYawewhVP_FoCvON6QGOw/kisslicer-refugee-camp/P810dZZkZ9U/-9kgDdhMMlsJ So I wondered how difficult it was to print a skin for slow sloping surfaces with a dynamical Z and X axis, and the Y ax behaving as “staged slices”. I made a simple model in ArchiCad with two meshes: one as base to be sliced in Z direction and one as skin, offsetted curved slab of 0.5mm. skin mesh of 0.5mm I sliced the two meshes seperately. The skin is generated in KS with 30mm/s for all axis, and both

Now available: high quality P3-d Nozzles. Mk8 and E3d style.  Apollo and Hercules quality. See here in the webshop. Not sure what you need? Send us an email! Benefits: Low resistance to spit out filament: a clean and fast extrusion as well better destringing, because of limited pressure changes in the nozzle. Smooth surface outside: reducing picking up dry Ooze filament (Because of the Duraplat3-d coating) Great heat transfer (1.5/1.6 times better than brass nozzles) The Apollo series: long life because of the hard coating. 6 x the lifetime of standard brass nozzles. The Hercules series: extreme long life as well able to process Carbon filament. 20 x the lifetime of standard brass

List of M- and G commands as used by the CraftBot and expert specs.

  This post will be updated as knowledge progresses… If you find some more info about the effect of M/Gcodes, please post it here, so I can update this list. Specs: Microprocessor Atmel ATSAM3X8E ARM CORTEX M3 84 MHz Stepperdrivers: DRV8825 MosFET International Rectifier IRLH5034PbF Thermistor extruder: 100k NTC. It’s this one from Robotdigg. This is the doc belonging to it. About the transistors steering the fans: the special marking code was FFt the type number is BCV27 , that is the usual name , you could also use FGt , which means it is a BCV47 ( able to work at a
