Have you ever wanted to print a continuous object longer than 15cm with your stock Thing-O-Matic with ABP (Automated Build Platform)? Now you can! Well, sort of. This is concept is VERY early in development, but it works!
This was an idea I while I was waiting for my Thing-O-Matic to come. A few days ago I started working one it and here it is. I am surprised that no one has tried this before. The closest case I found was thing 6607. ( http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6607 ) As it turns out, mrkim has already done something similar with thing 6552 using a 1X2 Reprap.( http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6552 )
How does this work?
The printer prints part of the object and leaves an lip on one edge. Then moves the ABP's belt forward (4cm in this case) and prints another part of the object that has an overhang that fuses to the lip on the previous part.
Future modification ideas:
- Add a plate to prevent parts from drooping off the end of the ABP
- Create a script that makes t
