Hi guys, today I’m going to take you through the process of setting up your Voron 0.1 using a Mellow Fly Gemini V2 board.

This reduces wiring andContinue reading “Mellow FLY Gemini V2 installation guide for Voron 0.1”

Big Print Series: 1:10 scale T-Rex

As a kid I always loved dinosaurs and like many others the T-Rex held a special place in my heart. I loved going to the Natural History museum or other such places and seeing the posed skeletons (real or not) on show! Now as an adult I have the means to produce my own andContinue reading “Big Print Series: 1:10 scale T-Rex”

Intro What is a Klicky probe? Why do I need one? How do I get one? Is there a mount available? Just some of the questions people ask when the words Klicky probe are mentioned on the Discord channels or Facebook groups for the RatRig printers. Well today I’m hopefully going to answer those questionsContinue reading “Klicky release for EVA3 and EVA2 on the VCore3”

Functional Print: Product photography stand

I received some feedback recently that suggested I work on improving the photo quality of printed parts I use in reference to print quality etc. It was a fair point and one that I hadn’t yet put much thought into. Thankfully someone else already solved the problem! Download the parts here! The only other thingsContinue reading “Functional Print: Product photography stand”

Sherpa Micro mod for EVA3

Continuing my EVA3 mod series, today I’m going to show you how quickly and easily you can modify the EVA3 platform to be able to use the Sherpa Micro using Fusion360.

Functional Print: Adaptive controller for one handed PS4 control

A little while ago I saw a post on twitter from a gentleman named Caleb who runs the Controller Project. Since supporting nhs during covid by printing visors and ear savers my printer has been used for industrial prints (for my day job), printer parts and printing stuff for fun. It seemed like time toContinue reading “Functional Print: Adaptive controller for one handed PS4 control”

Functional Print: Grippy Doorstop

The other day I got fed up of tying to work out which door in the office was currently using the doorstop… Why we only have one doorstop is beyond me but here we are conveniently falling into another excuse to use the 3d printer to make something functional! Anyway A search using Yeggi quicklyContinue reading “Functional Print: Grippy Doorstop”

Functional Print: Soldering wire holder

This was a super quick CAD modelling and print exercise for one of my colleagues who wanted his soldering wire stored in a little tube because that is how he is used to using it. This is one of those instances where sure there are cheap commercially available products but in this instance the timeContinue reading “Functional Print: Soldering wire holder”

V0 Electronics Bay Cooling – Fannypack Zero

I’m sure quite a lot of you, as owners of a Voron Zero, will have seen this message appear at some point in time. Now as it states it is a soft limit but there is a reason computer nerds spend a lot of money on good cooling setups for their rigs. Electronics work betterContinue reading “V0 Electronics Bay Cooling – Fannypack Zero”

Functional print: Peugeot Boxer headlight dust cap

Today I finally got round to fixing the puddle of water sat in my campervan headlight. I took the whole unit off expecting to have to go hunting for a broken or cracked seal but to my surprise was greeted with the wide opening below. The fact the headlight was literally filling up to theContinue reading “Functional print: Peugeot Boxer headlight dust cap”

Kirigami Bed by Funssor Review

Intro Have you noticed how much the stock z axis assemble flexes on your Voron zero? Whilst this never really affected my prints, it drove me mad when levelling the bed. The same pressure on the bit of paper at the back of the bed felt very different from the front leading to levelling theContinue reading “Kirigami Bed by Funssor Review”

Orbiter V2.0 on a Voron 0.1

Intro Recently I’ve had some horrible issues with inconsistent extrusion on my Voron 0.1. It all started after a hot end cooling fan failure and the subsequent rebuild of the mini afterburner. Anyway it was fortuitous timing in that I had just received an Orbiter V2.0 from LDO to review. That review will be comingContinue reading “Orbiter V2.0 on a Voron 0.1”

FLY Gemini review

Intro With the huge popularity of Klipper (which mandates the need of a single board computer [SBC]) and Rep Rap Firmware (Transitioning towards the same architecture as Klipper), the need for sourcing an SBC alongside your printer controller board has become the norm.
