Re: Adhesive for the light hood

I used standard liquid super glue, and it had 0 gap filling capabilities. Worked just fine for me. If Tensol 12 can dissolve the acrylic, you should be good!

Re: grbl firmware

Welcome to the forum! The first thing I would suggest is not using a limit switch at all, for two reasons: 1) The limit switch behavior in Grbl is a little bit weird, and will some times lock up all motion when it shouldn't. 2) It's extremely easy to manually home the DropLit. Push the build plate a...

Re: writing my own firmware for creation workshop

CWS will work "out of the box" with most firmwares -- it outputs pretty standard Gcodes. Both Marlin and Sprinter work with CWS. You'll just need to configure your firmware to match your machine settings. Things like "steps per mm" and whether or not the endstops are enabled, etc...

Re: Top Down design shrinkage and displacement questions

In my experience, the error doesn't matter all that much... but that's just anecdotal. I don't believe CWS has any sort of software compensation.

Re: Dual Material Printing with CW

Do you have your hardware set up yet? I'd like to see how you're moving the build plate between the two vats.

Re: Best resin for miniatures

Unfortunately, I've only ever used MakerJuice G+, so I can't give you a comparison of resins... but I can give your topic a bump!

Re: A few noob questions..

The issue you'll hit with #1 is speed. Stepper motors (especially ones geared down 100:1) can't go nearly as fast as a galvanometer setup. This is partially due to the relatively cheap stepper drivers we use... but even with high end drivers I doubt you'd be able to match galvos. As for #2, both top...

Re: help, shortguide for setup firmware?

Try getting it to work with only one endstop to start... Uncomment this code in your config.h: //#define DISABLE_MAX_ENDSTOPS Now make sure that your endstop is plugged into the Z_MIN plug (Since you disabled the Z_MAX plug). This will let you see if your motion is being stopped by the firmware beca...
