Slightly off topic but I built my own CNC 3 axis milling machine (X, Y and Z) some years ago which is mostly collecting dust :-) It's pretty high precision, solid, screw/stepper drives.
If I want to convert it into a 3d printer what would be my best/cheapest route? I.e. getting a printing head and software setup to drive it all?
- MBCook 13y agoI believe you'll be limited in feed rate (due to the weight of the axis), but that's basically it. GCODE is used in 3D printers as well. You basically have a 1/2 built reprap. I think your plan is all you'd need to do.
- if_by_whisky 13y agoOut should ask this question in the 3d printer tips and tricks Google group.
