3D printing basics: Understanding steps per millimeter and using Prusa’s calculator
Learn what parts go into the “steps per millimeter” value and how to use the Prusa calculator to figure it out. Prusa’s calculator Pololu Allegro A4988 page Pololu Texas Instruments DRV 8825 page
Q&A: Endstops, Electronics wiring, Smell-free filament and linear guide options!
More Q&A! This time with questions about endstops, the Prusa Calculator, my last name, hooking up RepRap electronics and why a voltage divider is a better idea than a 7805 regulator for level-shifting the signal from an inductive sensor. Turns out i slightly misread the question about the sub-$1k printer a tiny bit – if you want to build a Prusa i3 kit, that is definitely a good option as well. It might be a bit trickier than building a Printrbot, but you will also learn a bit more aboutContinue reading
