If I do end up moving, I’ll probably sell the Ender 3. Sure, mine has enough mods to print reliably every time but it’s not that good of a printer to begin with. The reasonable but expensive thing to do is to sell the Ender and wait for the Prusa Core to come out…
France or another country? France is not on my radar because of the high taxes although I should be able to move to the EU eventually… European bureaucracy is something else, I never thought that a government could be so slow… But the paperwork will get there eventually.
And you’re here saying that the Caribbean is even slower… Grrrrr…
This is using a DIY spinning laser pointer on a Wiral cable cam in a tunnel.
But I want a bit more freedom in how I move the laser, something like a 3 axis gimbal.
This but a lot less crappy and a lot more reliable:
Speed is not an issue but I need it to be controllable manually and programmatically, ideally using my phone and quite precise when drawing a pattern.
Now I know most fancy camera stabilizers are controllable but they are expensive and I’m not sure what other options I have…
I don’t know how to Google search “3 axis controllable arm where I can strap laser” properly. I only find camera stabilizers and laser levels…
Any ideas? I’m open to 3D printable open source projects as long as it’s an easy build.
have you considered your current setup, but instead using a bosch laser level? it has 2 lasers vertical and horizontal on a level plane, using your setup you can invert it 45 and should be able to cover all 3 axis?
You mean the two servos? It’s very limited angle-wise and very wobbly. These cheap servos suck.
I’m looking for something more sturdy and professional that could draw large patterns at almost 360°
I do have a level (draws a line) that I intend to play with but for this application I need a point.
I was looking for a more off the shelf option. Some forgotten Kickstarter gadget…
But yeah if I can’t find anything I might go this route.
I just don’t really like the idea of spending weeks building it and coding it only to find that it’s not as good as I thought
But yeah mirrors are the way to go. In fact I want to play around with the mirror on a speaker setup too
Maybe a cheap PTZ security camera? Just buy the crappiest/cheapest one you can find, since you don’t care about picture quality anyways, rip out the camera and strap in a laser pointer. Most will let you control manually through a web interface or app, some will even have programmable “patrols” for repeatability.
Wow! That is amazing quality! Was it printed on a Bumbu Lab printer? If so, what settings and filament did you use? My multi color prints never come out that smooth on my P1S
No I was about to, and then I got sick like 2 and a half weeks ago…
“Sam Jackson voice”
I’m getting MotherF****** sick of,being MotherF****** sick - this MotherF****** long
I will absolutely post about it once I don’t feel like slitting my throat for non self harm, but out if rage at my immune system and inflammatory organs
…good news… in the eye of this hurricane this is this…infection? I saw an ent I scheduled months ago and they are finally agreeing to slit *some of my throat for me
(Tonsillectomy)
Ent: yes I’m not sure given that your in your mid 30s, we don’t really like to take them out at this point,….buuuut I guess I might as well take a look while your here I guess
(Tone of mentally decided that it probably wouldn’t happen)
Ent: *IMMEDIATELY changes tone *
Hrm , wow… yea those are big…
Eq: *literally laughing hysterically *
Explained that I’ve heard my entire life… well they can’t be thaaat bad… immediately followed by “oh”
Only this time I finally got the person required to sign off on the fucking thing
Nobody would ever refer me without hitting some arbitrary number of throat related infections id always fall short of, new primary doc was like… screw that I’m gunna send you anyways, and let the ent decide
Now we get to see if my insurance wants to cover me,
Debates making joke
This was a longer story than I intended… and could have been pharmaceutically assisted
, wow… yea those are big…
