Devlog 1

Intro

This is my first devlog of hopefully many as I start work on my design for a 3D Printer. I’ve had this idea for a while now and I’m really excited to finally get the chance to bring this into the real world. I’ve spent a lot of time before joining stardance researching about types of 3d printers and their movement systems for this project which has definitely involved lot of just bouncing my ideas off Gemini to see why it might fail. I also know that AI isn’t the best place to get ideas and a lot of the time it can make mistakes which is why I’d be super grateful if someone more experienced could point out any problems and mistakes I might have made as well as anything I forgot to think about.

What I’ve been up to

Recently I’ve been working on figuring out how I can attach my lead screws for my Z Axis to the rest of my frame. While I’m still not completely sure about it, I did manage to find a 3D model for a lead screw to linear rail “converter”. If anybody who sees this knows anything about a simpler way to do this, please give a quick reply to this post because that would save my life.
I hope I didn’t bore you guys and thanks for reading through all this.

Note-I don’t think I can post this without a picture so I’ve attached a super quick design from tinkercad. I need to install the cooling system back in my laptop so haven’t been able to use any CAD software until that’s done.
