I'm not sure where to start. I am assuming you already know all the settings for the original printer in terms of dimensions and all that. If you are doing the conversion, does the Afinia have a proprietary extruder or anything like that (like the XYZ DaVinci line)? If so you might have to retrofit your extruder too. So on the assumption the only thing proprietary is the board and maybe the filament, I would say you have to load Marlin with the settings for that printer (dimensions, number of extruders, type of thermister, and so on). Once flashed, park the board in or on the printer and go to town. In my case, I have started to move away from RAMPS and gone down the Smoothie route just because there is no flashing of configuration settings (those are all on the SD card as a text ...

This is brilliant. I had been looking at similar ideas but in my case I wanted to launch a rocket using a High Power engine, or series of engines, and get it up high enough to deploy a glider, fly autonomously (while shooting video of course) to land where it started. If you want some stuff printed, shoot me a note with some STLs. Maybe we can merge both our projects.

Whaaaaaaa......WOW! Just WOW! I would love, love, love to build this. I second the request for a video. PLEASE keep us updated. This thing is amazing!

Did you consider printing this at all? And if not, would you happen to have the STL you used and could you post it? I'd like to give that a try.Thanks

- samern commented on JON-A-TRON's instructable 3D Printed Animatronic Puppet1 year ago
Thanks! OpenCV sounds even better. I will go look!
Now to lash up something to translate audio to pulses for the eyelid and mouth servos.....and maybe that PIR sensor for the head movement to follow whoever is in front....Hey, now we have the makings of a 'Sentry-bot'. Instead of the run of the mill security camera, this guy can be 'asleep', even making light snoring sounds until it senses motion (or whatever else). Then his head follows the intruder and the camera livestreams the video. Wait, wait....dual purpose, both a security cam and an Alexa. Spread these babies all over the house and link them together.....Ok, now I'm getting ahead of myself....Awesome Instructable. I just love the idea. If I had the know how, I'd add a full blown body a-la InMoov too.
My thoughts exactly. And bow, a diabolical laugh....booohooohahahahahaha!
View Instructable »It would be awesome to put a camera in the eye socket, then add a PIR sensor so the head can track an object and then add a DIY Alexa equivalent and voila, it's a smart puppet! Hmmmmmmm, now I have a better excuse to build one of those DIY Alexas....

It would be cool to extend this idea a bit, say with 2 of these (katamaran) or 4 with a seat in between. Then you could control steering by varying the pressure on each of the sides. Add another EDF or two for forward propulsion and a rudder and voila, EDF powered hovering. 74KG lift ability x 4 and 4 of these will easily get you floating over the ground (as opposed to one big vehicle with a big motor). Divide and conquer!Hmmmmmm, now I am dreaming....

I wonder if the motor alone with collet and suitable bit could be turned into a CNC toolhead. Awesome work!
- samern commented on TheGoofy's instructable 600 Watt, 3d-printed, Halbach Array, Brushless DC Electric Motor1 year ago
This is super super awesome. I have some questions:1) Can this be scaled up to get to 1KW in some way, either by adding more windings, increasing the length of the motor to do so or some other means?2) What sort of torque does the motor put out? I know Mechanical Power = Torque x speed (e.g. rad/s). What would the speed of this motor be (at the top end)3) How well does the motor address heating issues? Does it get warm under load? How much load?I ask because I have a particular application I'd like to try and I am hoping you can shed some light. I can do a lot by using 4 of these motors, instead of 2 heavier duty 1KW motors.Thanks!

What an incredible job! Congrats. I really want something like this but with a 100W laser so I don't have to keep going to my local MakerSpace to cut materials. Besides power supply and cooling, do you anticipate any other major changes to implement a higher power equivalent?

Hi,Did you consider using blind/pop rivets for the bottom frame instead of screws and nuts especially since you have to reach in and secure those nuts inside the frame? Granted that would make the assembly more permanent, but I also imagine it would come together faster.

Thank you. It appears that for some reason my browser did not render the video. I see it now. Do you know if the motors/legs are strong enough to get the Quadruped to stand up and not drag its 'belly'?

You are far braver than I. I do not have the chops to create my own board, so hats off to you that you can. I usually draw the line at open source software vs hardware for my machines.
