![]() ![]() Speaking to that in particular, resolution isn't such a big deal with clay. In my opinion the Z axis should have been designed with a lead screw or ball screw. This has caused him problems on the Z axis as the extruder holds about 20 lbs of clay. They have to be sanded, glazed, fired etc. 4 or 5 pots a day would be a whole lot of post production work. The print speed only runs at about 110mm/sec. I think I can build one for far less money. He paid big $ for that machine ($6,000+ with the extruder). If I can find a way around the height problem. Have thought about filling the pot as it is built with some kind of medium (Sand? Water balloon?) to keep that from happening. Taller is a problem as the clay tends to collapse when getting over about 18". I want to build one that will print much wider (1000mm travel on the X axis). I have a friend that actually has a 3D Potter machine from DeltaBots and he's had great success with it. ![]() The machine I will build will be like the DeltaBots 3D potter. ![]()
