New PrintoSapiens episode finally dropped! 😅😅
Sorry it took so long... The Z-axis is apparently the most complicated axis of a #3dprinter

Finally managed to get the printer spit out usable quality parts 😅

@makersmuse 🤑🤑🤑
As a viewer I've ben putting up with ads since forever, but I'll probably end up getting YT premium to replace my music subscription cause I can kill two birds with one stone

#BlueskySocial is a nice place, I recommend y'all check it out. I'm now primarily gonna post over there and only copy/paste it here if I feel like it.

Just wasted over an hour making a detailed CAD model for an ancient NEMA 16 stepper motor probably nobody other than me has or even intends to use 😂

But it's nice to have a pretty CAD model ;p

Okay I'm over there too now, we'll see how it goes

Honestly, Elon now actively meddling with the government on top of using our posts to train worlds most misogynist #AI is the last straw. The man's lost his marbles.
I'll be checking out the blue butterfly

@CodysLab @TheFigen_ The worker and the buckets are definitely superimposed, he's actually got his left foot cut off the whole time before gets up

[Benjamin @chronic_atronic]

@CodysLab @TheFigen_ Surely fake, the car does an unnatural jerk to the right before it hits the second bollard. Looks to me like someone "adjusted" the trajectory

[Benjamin @chronic_atronic]

@joeltelling Honestly, never bothered to check... And so far I've had no problem printing cheap filament from Geeetech and SUNLU with a 0.2mm nozzle, so tolerances on even cheap crap must be pretty good these days?
SUNLU says +/-0.02mm, but I think if it was really that bad I'd have noticed

[Benjamin @chronic_atronic]

@RueNahcMohr Surprises me there are any at all that do, though

[Benjamin @chronic_atronic]

@RueNahcMohr So it _is_ essentially a sharpie ;p

[Benjamin @chronic_atronic]

@RueNahcMohr Ooh I'd never heard of solder resist pens! Much closer to what originally came to my mind >sharpie on copper<

[Benjamin @chronic_atronic]

@RueNahcMohr Oh okay, didn't know it was constrained by the machine, only ever went the commercial route.. Do you plot on the transparency for etching?

[Benjamin @chronic_atronic]

@SianaGearz @bennjordan Guess I'll make an account there some time and see what it's like for starters.. I recently read again that none of the Twitter alternatives seem to have really caught on yet

[Benjamin @chronic_atronic]

@RueNahcMohr How 'bout this? :D

[Benjamin @chronic_atronic]

@Nedu_2001 I like to think putting the windings in parallel helped with inductance because of the lover resistance, but I guess we'll see

[Benjamin @chronic_atronic]

My research leads me to believe that this stepper motor is my senior by at least 5 years 🤯

@Nedu_2001 Well on any motor less than like 20yrs old it's not necessary anymore it seems, with bipolar drivers being commonplace after that. I did it on a second one too where it was easier cause it had a proper PCB in the back

[Benjamin @chronic_atronic]

@Nedu_2001 Well, the pictures were only after I'd put new wires on it, here it is freshly disassembled
