Watching 3D printing

Workshopshed

Keep finding myself watching my 3D printer when it's printing, it must be what a cat feels like with a laser pointer

    I just like the sound the 3D Printer makes - and people have even harnessed them to sound like actual songs like this one

    Yes they can be quite tuneful too

    Yes me too, I even set-up a webcam so I could watch it from another room.

    What printer, what faults? Perhaps the community can help out ?

    Namely the Velleman K8200 that was received through an element14 giveaway, probably something dodgy with the control board as there is no reading from one of the thermistors - already checked wires and resistance - it is all correct, so something is wrong between the wires and board. It's already been sent for repair once, came back with the same issue.

    I've always been in awe with machines and their working. The robox makes music when it prints and I find myself just listening to it sing.

    The same happened to me when I first started working with ESC and BLDC motors and together they sing scream and do the twist.

    I made some robots in my free time a few years back and my office usually had one or two scurry bots running around trying to find light and dark spots Ina room.

     

    Hopefully 3d printers will become faster and we won't have to listen to their entire song. Relaxed

    come to think of it, the ultimate 3D printer, the replicators in Startrek are also quite musical

     

    Hmmm or maybe it's the start of the machine take over, they mesmerize you with their merry dance and tuneful play as they brainwash us into zombie slaves!!! imageimageimage

    Though I know how long it will take to print a model, I still can't help watching its process, and touching it.

    Although I know it might fail at any time I find it quite relaxing to watch, it's like meditation.
