@admin Hi Gael, I was watching the stomach video and you mention the mid stomach need a way to reverser the polarity the following product allow that.

That won’t work for this application for a few reasons… First and foremost no two servos accurately position the same… And if they don’t they tend “fight” each other… A second reason is you would have to solder the pot to both circuit boards… again, won’t work… see reason 1… The simplest and only way is to follow the tutorial Gael wrote….

OK, I’ll bite. What is it?

  ? a brand new dual extrusion head with coolers for the object and the extruders? Cooling the upper part of the extruder can prevent clogging – good. Enjoy the pic – once you start printing it won’t look as good as now!
  for ooze free multiple extrusion in a single object have a look at this

    It’s a dual extruder upgrade for the Vertex K8400 3D printer from Velleman. I can easily identify it, since I have the same printer for almost 2 years now. It works very well for PLA printing. It makes it possible to print different colors, but more importand, different materials. I tried it about a year ago, but at that time I have print quality…[Read more]

I got nothing to do so ill help you out- ,,

I’m between begginer and novice with printing
I have make prints with ABS before butt that where small prints
I used a velleman Vertex k8400 with heatbed its reach 90 degrees
The print must be manual calbrate

  Ok,, Abs is difficult to print with,, very clean glass works well I need to print with abs (which is not very often)- make sure the fans are of turned “off” The K8400 look like they’re using a “peek” style of hotend so you don’t need them ,, unlike the ED3V6,,,– slow the print speed down – 30mm/sec for perimeters and 60mm/sec for infill- ,, Th…[Read more]
  - Mindless replied 8 years, 11 months ago
    
    I found your problem,,, you “must use” the fan on your extruder system,, it seams there peek style hotend is different from the original one,,,, so abs is never going to print without warping,,

        Well you can print with ABS,, its going to be harder to get the first layer and the rest of print without warpping-,, not really the best machine for a beginner to learn on,,, if you can find a way not to have the fan blowing onto the print ,,but just on the hotend ,,, it should fix the problem,,,
marcel v.d replied 8 years, 11 months ago

Oké i see this on thingiverse http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1196270 do you think this will help.
- Mindless replied 8 years, 11 months ago
  
  Nooooo,,,, that’s for PLA,,, You want to do opposite—Is this the extruder system on your printer,,? (see pic ) nice looking system but really designed for ABS
  What software are you using,,, Slicer/Cura/ etc.,,, what you want to do is to slow the fan speed down as much as possible ,, is that small fan on a hinge so can move,,? ,,(it’s the one causi…[Read more]

    “nice looking system but really designed for ABS-“–meant to say “PLA”
Richard R replied 8 years, 11 months ago

To successfully print with ABS (which is all I print with btw) you really need a printer that can do it… I have an UP Box and an UP Mini 2… both print abs flawlessly… Since you probably won’t be buying a new printer here are some tips that hopefully will help… A good print surface to use with ABS is Buildtak … it really sticks well to…[Read more]
- Mindless replied 8 years, 11 months ago
  
  I’ve never heard a bad thing said about “Build Tanks”,,,,
  I got to get back to the grind,,, the only thing I can think off without doing mod work on your printer is un-bolt the small fan and turn it around so its blowing up instead of down onto your print,,, and slow the fan speed down ,, (the flaw with design is they set both fan to the one s…[Read more]
marcel v.d replied 8 years, 11 months ago

Yes the extruder on the picture is the one
If i shut off the smal fan when i print abs wil that help its not gone warp
The small one i only need when i print with pla.
- juerg replied 8 years, 11 months ago
  
  have you tried to print a skirt with 6 to 10 outlines, 2 layers high with very small distance from object (like 0.3 mm for a 0.4 mm nozzle)
  you will need to tear or cut off the skirt but it prevented almost all warping on my prints
marcel v.d replied 8 years, 11 months ago

Oké i wil try al off the tips and i hope it work for me i Let know when it will work for me.

Assembling Head, working on eye Assembly

Mindless replied 8 years, 11 months ago

Hello Richard,,, I’m pretty sure your skull cap is on backwards,,,, or mirrored,,,, or-the parts are back-to-front and on the wrong side,,,,, actually ,,,I’m not sure how the hell you done that,,,lol
- Richard replied 8 years, 11 months ago
  
  Thank you, I will look at drawings
  - Mindless replied 8 years, 11 months ago
    
    No worries,, It was like a lava Lamp I couldn’t stop staring at it,, I had the same problem in the 3d software to get the right orientation of the parts ,,,, it took me quite a few attempts before I got it right,,,
    - Richard replied 8 years, 11 months ago
      
      Fixed, Thank you

Hello everybody, and a very happy New Year 2017.
A new Inmoov robot clone has “been born” the last day of 2016 (I mean torso, top stomach, head and right arm have been put together for the first time, but there is yet a lot to do). We call it Quixote Inmoov as he has been built in La Mancha, the region of Spain where Don Quixote lived the…[Read more]

Mindless, I have downloaded your 3D InMoov Man – nice work. Should I be able to move parts around so I can see the internal parts? The drawing loads as a “Read only” file in SketchUp. Or is the drawing just that, a drawing of the assembled parts?
- buildstoys replied 8 years, 11 months ago
  
  Left-click a part (to highlight it in blue), then right-click and choose Hide.
- Mindless replied 8 years, 11 months ago
  
  It a complete 3d model,,, so you hide parts to see inside him- or you make changes to parts then export that part as STL (Need Plugin) and print them out-,,, if your new to 3d modelling it will take a bit of time how to work stuff out,,,- but SketchUp is one of the easiest of the 3d modelling platform-
