I admittedly slacked of a bit, but now I feel motivated again.
I want to launch two new series of content.
Useful Products:
There are not many useful 3D printed products out there, but they do exist. Until we find a killer app for 3D printing, we have to start somewhere. Everyone is invited to find products or applications for 3D printing, so we can collect them and really show what 3D printing is capable of.
Advanced technical testing:
Beyond the China kit printers, there are still lots of interesting developments and ideas to test to make reprap machine better. I want to answer questions like what is the relationship of actual extruded print volume to commanded volume?, are 0.9 degree stepper motors worth it?, should I counter balance my effector? or are TL smoothers a scam?
Of course some questions I cant completely test out but at least I can try to find arguments from all sides on forums etc. to give some interesting insights.
In addition I want to document my printer upgrade progress and aforementioned testing on Youtube, which also allows me to give back to the community. I thought I could start a regular lifestream, where we/I can fix some printer issues life. I know Thomas Sanladrer sometimes does stream under the #3D-Doc, that seems like a cool idea to me.
PS. Is anyone interested in developing a ball screw driven cartesian printer? :D
