Instead of the Smoothieboard since it has not been available for sale for quite a while, I came across someone selling fully assembled CRAMPS board and so I was able to purchase one before he ran out. I will, thus be using LinuxCNC, with a BeagleBone Black Rev.C.
Major Revisions as follows:
- Toolheads:
- E3DV6
- L-Cheapo Laser Cutter
- Bowden Syringe Extruder (60mL Luer Lock Syringe)
- Dremel CNC tool
- Pen/Pencil Tool holder
- Triple-material Extruder through a single hotend
- 3x NEMA17 Stepper Motor, all using a gripstruder extruder
- 3x PTFE tubes all connect to a three-way manifold into a hotend
- Requires 6x total M5 Pushfits
- 3x M5 Pushfits will be connected into the ceiling of the Extruder
- Quick-release screw for the M5 pushfits so that the pushfits can remain strong to the manifold
- 3d printed purging Silo for transitions between filament changes
- Syringe Extruder
- Bowden connection piece with filament acting as a plunger
- Removing screw from Manifold and screws into Syringe Extruder for simplicity and maximize use of extruders
- Designing a triple syringe Extruder
- Onboard 3D Printer Controller
- CRAMPS V2.2
- BeagleBone Black Rev.C
- 6x DRV8825 Stepper Drivers
- 7" Resistive Touchscreen
- 7-port powered USB hub for wifi dongle, touchscreen driver connection, usb drives, Webcam, keyboard and mouse
- The entire controller will be outside of the build chamber
- NFC card built into the interface
- Using LinuxCNC "Gscreen" GUI
- L-Cheapo Laser Engraver
- A 2-watt laser attachment that is already purchased and can be used easily
- The creator only has a few leftovers, so I might have to make my own if he runs out
- Heated Enclosure
- 250 Watt Heater Lightbulb
- Lamp Socket Reflector with a 8ft cable
- Should be able to bring the Chamber up to 50C
- 400mm Round Boro Glass
- 400mm Round 12V Silicone Heater Bed from Aliexpress
- 20" x 36" Acrylic Panel for the front sealed with a rubber grommet upon closing
- magnetic latch to close the panel
- The other 2 sides will be covered with Foam Insulation, to insulate heat as well as sound
- The exterior will be covered in a matte black spray paint
- The Case Panels will help form the X-cross bracing and the MK-X Name
The top portion of the printer will be an inverted pyramidal shape with the the lightbulb at it's peak. The M5 Pushfits will be attached to a 3d printed screw and that will screw into the ceiling. The top portion of the printer will have cork insulated walls to protect the dremel, and the Extruders. The Printer will hold 3 spools of filament at one time. On one side of the printer, there will be an activated carbon filter 140mm fan to filter the smells and vapors from the laser engraving as well as printing in ABS. The filaments will ride on a universal 608zz bearing spool holder to allow for different brands to mounted on very easily.
That's all for now!
