When going to get an amp chip for the load cell project I realised with postage costs I might as well get one of these £6 kits and mod it. Hopefully bypassing the input capacitor that would remove any DC offset is all I’ll need to do.
Is this related to 3D printing?
He said it was for a load cell so I’m thinking a Z sensor for some sort of bed levelling/tramming?
You recall correctly Ross. All of the parts: Load cell, AMP kit, spare RAMPS1.4 and Mega are sitting on my workbench waiting for “me time” and a power cable that’s hopefully in the post from Think3DPrint3D
The down side of showing 3D Printing design skills to family, if you can call it a down side, is that they know a wider range of DIY projects are achievable. I made a temporary new top for the dining table. It comfortably sat 12 with plenty space for all the dishes, it was a brilliant party last night so well worth it.
Dismantling it today I get asked "Can you turn that wood into a side cupboard with shelves for the alcove wall. 80% done, will hopefully finish tomorrow. For Christmas I asked for some white PLA. I had to cut a large circular hole in the top to allow UK mains plugs to be passed through.
The first print Christmas Day will be a round cap to plug the hole. I had to get 3D Printing in there somewhere …
