Search Results for '2540'

Hi everyone. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I’m new here and just got my Robox…9 days running. I’m from California as you can tell from the topic title. So far very happy with it…big fan. I have an AutoMaker question. Does anyone know how to change AutoMaker’s default units of measure from mm to inches?

I’m using SketchUp Make to create models but I notice that if I use “inches” in SketchUp, the model I import in AutoMaker has to be scaled to approximately ~2540% (1in=25.4mm) to get it to the actual size intended. If I use “mm” as the units of measure in SketchUp and export to .stl or .obj, I have no problems importing to AutoMaker and is scaled correctly in the model viewer at 100%. I’ve seen forum members mention inch units in postings so there’s probably a way to do it.

I have either exporting in mm or scaling 2540% as a workaround, but just wanted to test whether changing the units in AutoMaker itself fixes the import of .stl or .obj that has inches as units of measure. I don’t know if this a problem in the file format or in AutoMaker. If AutoMaker, I’ll gladly file a support ticket. Either case, I think AutoMaker should handle units of measure conversions automatically.

I attached the test models (24,5mm x 24.5mm x 6.35mm with a 12.7mm bore) I’m using to test accuracy and calibration.

Other Notes: PLA Draft Print is accurate only on the first few layers of the print with a width of ~25.4mm. Up to ~3% Warping and shrinking on the width on subsequent layers as expected I think. The 12.7mm bore has shrunk by about ~7%. Printing at 107% the bore is a perfect fit for 0.5in or 12.7mm aluminum tubings, but the outer width increased by 4-6% . Hoping to get Cura slicer for Christmas or soon to test how much better slices are with AutoMaker 1.01.

Manifesting ideas is still difficult, but at least we're one step closer...

and that was my main focus, should be more clear in my communication.
I really like the initiative that is been taken here, even though I’m not planning on buying a RPi)
