prusa-chain-production's Introduction

Prusa i3 MK3 Chain Production add-on

assembly iso render Add chain production capability to your Prusa i3

How it works

  • The arduino controls the steppers & fans
  • The printer is controlled via octopi
  • A script on the octopi monitors the octoprint status and controls the arduino via usb-serial to start cooling and trigger the ejection

prusa-chain-production's Issues

Update the arduino code for TMC2130 support

The arduino code is actually made for A4988 drivers & 4 microswitch endstops

It should use TMC2130 stallguard function to detect endstops & detect ejection fails to retry

Pulley bores missing

I believe the bill of materials is missing one specification for
20T 6MM GT2 Idler pulley
20T 6MM GT2 Motor pulley

I assume "B5" idler, "inner hole 5mm" motor as these are riding on the m5 screws?

PCB ordering guide

When trying to order the PCB I am able to upload the gerber.zip file successfully but how do I provide the SMT components for assembly? JLCPCB seems to be looking for BOM or CPL files. Sorry if I am missing something I have not ordered custom PCBs before.

I can make a PR with a guide for others once I understand the whole process.

Can this system work with a smooth pei sheet?

I can see how a textured bed works really well for this system, as most parts will pop themselves loose, especially given the cooling routine. But what about smooth pei? Most of my products need to be printed on a smooth sheet, and I was wondering if you've done any testing with it?

How does this system communicate with the 3D printer?

Does this system get connected directly to a raspberry pi and get controlled through octo print or does it get connected to the main board some how. I'm a bit confused on how to wire everything together? I'm still pretty new to electronics so I might just be missing something obvious.
