My carryonable 3d printer
I've posted this to reddit before, but the post has gotten lost among an automod flurry. I've got some longer travel coming up and this thing has been on my mind again, so I'm looking for some suggestions!

That's pretty neat, but that's a lot of disassembly and assembly.
I feel like some kind of fold up option is just going to cause problems. I wonder if a delta would be better for that- haven’t played with one but maybe the up-and-down motion would be easier to self calibrate and compensate for any play.
The Positron 3D manages the folding aspect really well. Definitely worth checking out how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAPaOevoeX0

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
really hope this this makes some big progress soon.
this project is awesome. thanks for sharing. now I want a v3
Since I got some step losses on my printer (fixed long ago), I keep wondering if our lives wouldn't be much better with closed loop controlling of all the movements.
The irony of precision calibration, if you loose calibration you loose calibration and you’re never getting it back.
If you measure 3 times accurately enough, you’ll get 3 different answers.
I’m just saying taking the UBL leveling a step further and actively compensate for out-of-squareness in the frame. This would allow some out of squareness as long as the frame was rigid. The alternative is squaring everything as you put it together.
Why is the text on your webpage so massive? I'm getting like 4 words to a line of text.
All the better to read you with, my dear.
No wait, that's backwards. Thanks for the feedback, I'll play with the fonts next time I make a post.
Thanks for posting this! Gives a good idea of some of the challenges you had. I hate having to check bags!
