Hi,
I’m interested in that question too. I have built a delta printer before using a tinyG (check it out). However, it was very rudimentary and didnt come with any fancy controls like heat, filament speed etc.
We used grasshopper for Rhino (more specifically the firefly plugin) to execute simple Gcode commmands. It was very time- and labor-intensive and really just good enough to prove a point. And grasshopper is not really optimized to do those things.
I have gutted our printer and would like to build another one that’s functional and reliable (like this one, but I couldn’t find any that use a TinyG.
I am fairly certain I can pull off the mechanical side, not so certain about the programming and electrical. I would be willing to build the code from scratch, but dont really know what is needed and where to begin.
Im no programmer, just know some Java, tiny bit of python and have some experience with arduino and processing. I am willing to learn the necessary languages. Any suggestions on where to start this project?
