It’s Alive!!!
After a year of on again, off again work on my new printer, the Voxel Evolution, it is finally printing. All I need to do now is clean up the wiring and button up the controller case and tweak a fw firmware settings.
It is based on The Voxel OX on the openbuilds web site, but I redesigned it to use all custom laser cut plates, and made a few other changes, most notably it’s size. It has a working area of 300X300X400. I am using a smoothieboard 5xc to control it, and installed both a GLCD and a MKS TFT touch screen (The MKS TFT does not have access to all the functions the GLCD does, hence the dual install)
I need to figure out how to enable the bed leveling inductive sensor in Smoothieware, but for now manual leveling is OK, it seems to hold it’s setup for a long time.
It’s been a fun journey, and is now a part of my little farm consisting of 3 Wanhao Di3’s (Upgraded to smoothie, one with a touchscreen), a Printrbot Simple Pro, and a Tronxy X1.
