Re: [MakerBot] ABP and warping
Z LeHericy
ABP... its really frustrating, since I'd love to have the multi-print
capability... It seems like the one that Makerbot videotaped overnight
works better than any other ABP in existance... since I can hardly get
one print to even stick to the belt!
With a more rigid, and sticky belt, maybe it'd work, but still, quite
frustrating...

I know this may have been said in your other thread, but have you tried printing with PLA on it? Contrary to popular belief, PLA is not impossible to get decent prints with right off the bat, all I did was change the temperature in my start.txt to 185C and it handles the same way ABS does for the most part, didnt even make any changes to my skienforge profile. A hybrid extruder is a must, but the problem you may run into is that it sticks TOO well then!

Oh! Are you refering to the .5mm Kapton like what is used with Chooch's Pfierce Robotic Build Platform? I do not have the part number right off hand, but I believe that McMaster-Carr is where they purchased it.

kapton that I've read people have tried. I've switched back to the
HBP. What was the prototype belt material? Does this mean my
Thingomatic will suffer the same fate? :(

and disengaged while printing. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be a
printable design as it'd be on the hot side of things. And of course
you'd be sacrificing some amount of build space. Only positive is if
it had an appropriately sharp inner forward leading edge, you'd only
have to raise and lower it a mm or two, and have the prints detach as
the conveyer moves under it...
I'm imagining a lever bar similar to what's used in ZIF sockets and a
servo to operate it. Again, too bad some large portion isn't
printable...
