I have been printing a lot lately. Mostly parts and molds needed for my Master’s Thesis, as well as gifts and such. Ever since I got my second 3D printer, I have been using a RaspberryPi running OctoPrint (which is just WONDERFUL!). For those that are not familiar with it, Octoprint is essentially a gcode…
(Note: The picture on the right shows the fins mounted directly onto the jaws of the Kuka youBot. This was just a preliminary test and we realized the importance of the scissor-like motion, since otherwise we could only grasp very small objects due to the short travel of the parallel fingers). I am starting…

Nylons on the other hand become completely useless for printing after even just a few hours out in the open. Since I am…
