My layout at the moment is this[1]. 11 12 On another note, I've been installing a tinyfab cpu[2] on my Cetus 3D 13 printer. Just finished the whole thing yesterday afternoon, and now I'm 14 testing first prints. 15 16 Results are quite good ! I think there's still a bit of room for 17 improvement, but it prints close (or maybe just exactly the same) 18 quality as with the stock cpu+uptime slicer. 19 20 The big big difference is that now I'm using free software for the 21 controller[3] and I can use any slicer I want, and the machine speaks 22 gcode, as 99% of the cnc machines of the world. Also I have a lot more 23 control over the whole process, well all the control that the slicer I 24 choose provides. For now I've only tried Slic3r. I may try Cura in the 25 future. 26 27 I'm collecting notes to write a more in depth article about the whole 28 process, as I found the instructions at tinyfab website are ... not so 29 good so to speak. 30 31 It's all for today, I guess. 32 33 ---- 34 [1] - https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/layouts/XOXM/latest/0 35 [2] - https://www.tinyfab.xyz/ 36 [3] - https://smoothieware.org/ 37 38 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
