first iteration of a stator winding tool with a reinforced tip (steel incoming) and a brake to help create tension will try a multi-spool variant for parallel strands next

Turns out it's cheaper (and far more fun) for me to bulk order blank PCB from @jlcpcb.bsky.social than it is to purchase 1oz copper clad fr4. They arrived in about 5 business days!

Parts are starting to arrive for the ironless rotor cycloidal planetary actuator from @cadenkraft.com github.com/CKraft11/Iro...

🥳🥳🥳 CoinOp is live on @github.com! 🥳🥳🥳 3D printed open source desktop mill No wires - spindle power and probing logic are routed through linear rails/leadscrews Easily portable - stows extra tooling and stock internally Compact - functional parts fit most standard printers

This corexy has been feeling a bit tired lately; time for a refresh. The first step: a gorgeous 9mm thick bed from Mandala Rose Works.

Based on github.com/jyjblrd/S4_S... with modifications for an extra rotational axis, this iteration of gcode is neither optimized or ideal. It provides the benefits of cartesian motion over polar and smooths out 0-crossings resulting in a part that completes faster and cleaner.

and with further modification... we're slicing for 5-axis

Our first print slicing the deformation with PrusaSlicer instead of Cura allows us to leverage existing motion and extrusion optimizations. Retraction has yet to be properly integrated but this should open some interesting opportunities.

We put together a new mod0 focused on reducing the complexity for #open5x experimentation with the @e3donline.bsky.social PZ Probe removing the need for the CAN board on the B/C gantry. SLS motion components for XYZ-axis from Formlabs.

more post-processing work is required but we're starting to transform S4 Slicer output to #open5x
