With our ToolControllers there is no need to transport high amp, high frequency pulses to your tools.
You just add power and low level signal wires.
By doing so we eliminate the EMC generated over long wires created by stepper motor drivers and other high power PWM signals.
Allowing you to comply with FFC and EC standards.
We currently have :
* Extruder controller
* Fan controller

It`s almost ready.
The new CartesioM and CartesioW.
Read on after the break
main changes :
new plug and play electronics on 24V
new linear slides
easy access to object
Z-axis more stable
Multi ToolHolder
The new electronics have flatcables, which means they do not require soldering.
Assembling the electronics takes about 10 min.

Here is a clip of it extruding.
This is my basic test setup to test my extruders.
As you can expect it did some fair amount of oozing.
Stange thing that happend was that the more I retracted the more it oozed.

I did some testing with hp_'s ceramic hotend
It came with a 24V/30W heater cartridge.
Read on after the break.
I also had my new extruder electronics ready, which supports k-type thermocouples.
so theoretically I could go up to 1100 degrees Celsius.
As you can see in the photo above, 1st thing I did was clamp the hotend in a vice and put a good radial blower on top of the hotend.

The following are parts to make a mold for the top of the side-skirt for the new Volvo truck.
Printed completely hollow, they had some problems getting the top sollid.
1 was printed with 3% infill.
I will make a follow up story in how these parts compare to "normal" mold making.

Have you ever blown up a pololu?
yes, sure you did.
And you probably threw it in the bin.
Do not do that next time
Read after the break
If you sent me 4 broken pololus (the A4988 variant),
I will send 1 working back, for free !
The rules for this action :
pololu has to look descent, no burn marks, no loose pads
That`s it
So NOT like this :

And that is me saying it very polite.
So, before you read on: this is me venting.
Have you ever had that someone comes up to you and asks: can I print a gun with that ? or a dildo ?
My standard answer is :
Picture a 3D printer as a faery, complete with magical wand and all.

Recently I compared my FDM printed extruder to the same extruder printed with an SLA machine.
As any one can guess (without even looking at the photo`s) the SLA part was much more beautiful then the FDM counterpart.
But then I did the math thing (money wise)

All cables have been guided away from rotating parts.
The extruder is much more compact and lighter then V1.
It handles 1.7mm filament which is much easyer to push through the nozzle.
this results in much higher print speeds (currently testing 150mm/sec , no problemo)
