    Excellent. Just what needed . Your two termperature build and pastruder controls is just what I need. Any chance for either a kit or an assembled controller board?

    Great. One other thing are you just supplying the board? A kit? An assembled unit?
    Last the TUXGR_16X2-R2 doesn't seem to be available here in the USA. Can you supply that also? If not do you have a cross referenced part or a US source. I used a web site that searches all the major suppliers and there were none to be found.

    I can provide an assembled pcb with lcd. I hope the price will be reasonable too.
    by the way any 16 pin 2x16 lcd with upper left connection will work like this one

    Please take a look at my web store to purchase assembled boards.

    Default New Board Comming

    I want to happily announce that I am working on the second version of the controller board.

    I got lots of great feedback from the people. It is a very easy way to have a 3d printer. This board is dealing with all the complex issues. And separate the temperature controlling stuff from the CNC tasks. It is very easy to use because it is stand alone and plug and play. Just connect the sensors and the relays set the temperatures and go.

    The new board will have some nice features. I will also try to set up a video while printing. I want to thank all of you because of your supports.

    Regards,

    Nuri Erginer

    I got a reply from Nuri today claiming he was building his second generation boards and he would be testing them soon. I have my stepstruder MK6 built and ready to install on a Sherline/A2ZCNC mill I have.

    Where are the people interested in this? Are we the only few wanting to multi task with our mills or small machines? I know I do.

    Have been in contact with Nuri also. I have a Taig cnc mill and a New Hermes 7200 Vanguard. Would like to do both. This will save me a bunch of money and not add a 3d printer to my home.

    kinda wish I had seen this sooner, just finished putting a thing-o-matic together, oh well.

    Might still do this to my cnc mini mill, would let me print some larger items

    How is the thing-o-matic working? Did you have any experience with a 3D printer, any unexpected issues during start up?

    Started working on this a couple of weeks ago. Should be a fun project once its all said and done...

    The main stepstruder body is now assembled. Thermocouple installed. Now all thats left is to make a mount for my Z axis drive...



    Got the electronics for the heater working last last week. Parameters were set and everything worked great so far

    The temperature at the hot end is measured and stabilized to around 260° C. - [500° F]
    The soldering iron worked as expected and easily got the hot end up to the required 500° F...

    Currently working on the build platform which must be heated to a temperature of around 120° C. - [248° F]





    Last night I made some headway on the heater control box build.






    Today I finished wiring it up again re-testing it. The lower guage is reading the the soldering iron temp as it makes its way to the set 500° F. The second temp probe (top guage) is for reading the build platform. I currently have this temp probe situated at the base of the stepper motor to get an idea on how hot the area of base mount is getting.

    It's working well, no 3d printer experience, the biggest hassle so far is trying to figure things out, most of the answers are out there but they're strewn all over the place.

    Using ReplicatorG as the control software and skeinforge to generate the gcode.

    using what some call "volumetric 5d" (poorly named) and it really is the way to go, simplifies a lot of the things need to to get a decent print.

    here's a whistle I printed this weekend, white ABS at .25mm layer thickness
