====== 3D printing ======

I am proud owner of RigidBot 3D printer.
I got this with pledging Kickstarter campaign and long waiting.
Printer turned out to be good and easy to setup.
Printouts quality is comparable with several times higher priced printers.

And as an engineer I see possibilities for upgrades and making printing easier.

This page contains the 3D printer upgrades, modifications, useful and interesting printouts, tips and tricks.
==== Planned projects: ====

  * [[3d_printing:wire_chains|Wire chains]] - to reduce risk of breaking wires due to constant bending
  * [[3d_printing:3d_touch|3D Touch height sensor]] - for quick bed leveling
  * [[3d_printing:spool_holders|Print few spool holders]] - for better spool management
  * [[3d_printing:headset_holder|Print headset holder for desktop]] - for better room management
==== Ongoing projects: ====

  * [[3d_printing:profile_scanner|Profile scanner]] - 3D printer head replacement jig to attach spectrocolorimeter for profiling inkjet or laser printers
  * [[3d_printing:dual_extruder|Dual extruder]] - replacing single extruder head with double extruder for dual material printing. Can be used for changing colors or for printing supports.
==== Done projects: ====

  * [[3d_printing:usb_drive_case|USB drive case]] - new case for repaired USB flash drive
  * [[3d_printing:printer_enclosure|Printer enclosure]] - to keep ambient temperature stable around printed part and eliminate quality issues with highly shrinking materials
