Almost ready to! Hit the subscribe button on this page to tell CrowdSupply that there's enough interest to launch it! And tell all your budz! www.crowdsupply.com/accelerated-tech/x1plus-expansion-board
Absolutely interested. On the Bambu forum, you mention the HW is open source. I can’t find it on the GitHub page, will you make it available at some point? Also, how does it interface with the main MCU? I don’t see a header for the display cable; I would have thought you would link through that interface. Is it through the Bambu 4 pin bus? One mod I’d like to do is have an infrared heater on top, facing down on the part to keep the part warmer than 60C without having to convectively heat the whole chamber. Perhaps with reflective tape on the bits that shouldn’t get too hot. And with an I2C interface, an IR thermometer could be used as a control loop for the IR heater. How do/would you control the peripherals? I imagine some could be accessible via G-Code, but what about the neopixel animations?
I'm not sure this development will be worth it. A 5G wifi instead of 2.4G would be enough for me. USB, I2C, GPIO - I have no idea why would I want them. Eth Iface is nice but why would I want it? For better video you need to replace the camera and the lens too. You can buy pro (+- 2%) Sensirion hum. sensor for $30 with builtin LCD and bluetooth connection, it works with 2032 battery for 2 yrs. USB2.0 ? You want to attach mouse, or keyboard or what? This is a random development for sake of development, but it makes no sense sorry.
I work for a massive multinational business with 3d print labs around the world. I know it seems odd, but connectivity in workplaces that value security in the convert space make it incredibly hard to work with devices that don’t have usb or Ethernet connection. This extension board with Ethernet alone make it worth the trouble for schools, universities, businesses that all lock down their network access methods.
Not only is this cool as hell, your forum post was also recommended as the top suggested read on my Google search app, so you must be gaining traction somewhere somehow! Any idea what price point you'd be looking to sell these at if you went into production?
Whoah I have never #goneviral before. Thanks for letting me know! I think that there are a positive number of people who would buy this thing. So I think there is a good question around building and distributing it, and price point. I need to ask around about how people decide on that… the COGS of each one is not all that high but the direct cost of developing it is definitely getting up there, to say nothing of the time spent on it (and the entire X1Plus program) so far… I should ask, like, the 1b2 folks for suggestions. I still have no idea if the expected volume should be like tens or thousands.
I think the round hygrometer within your AMS might need new batteries. those cheaper ones have always been a bit iffy in terms of reliability. Really excited for the user configurable GPIO by the way. Lots of opportunities for community engagement there.
Good question! Join the X1Plus Discord, maybe, as the best option? I am not all that great at, like, setting up broadcast communication, as you can tell :-) If you have suggestions for how you usually get more info about things like this, please let me know.
@@joshuawise Thanks, I never seem to find time for Discords (nor for actually making things like this myself 😂), but for anything involving code, there’s usually a GitHub page that describes the project and has the latest version of the code in it. Whatever the case, good luck on the project, it looks really awesome!
Wow, great to hear from you, Koen. Yeah, some things never change... two decades later, here I am, still shoehorning weird Linux systems on 32-bit ARMs. I was originally kind of thinking of using ipkg for X1Plus... As it turns out, Jamey and I are working together these days, doing business as Accelerated Tech. Hope you're doing well.
@@jamesm3268 I meant: the few Bamboo pro ,( I think that was X1E, ) products that can run without internet access have ethernet, which I prefer. The Bamboo consumer products works as long their mother ship gets your data and can see what you do.
They've added a LAN mode in the production build. It won't have to rely on internet access and it you can set up your firewall to block external comms. Also, I think the X1Plus firmware may give you better control over it as well.
This post is pretty funny. It sort of seems like one of these internet truisms that the less somebody knows about something, the more confidently they post. I have always wondered why this is.
This comment section is surprisingly full of people without a Cricut or an X1. Love the retrofit, might see if I can do something similar with my P1S! I completely forgot that a 3D printer is essentially just a XY gantry.
I would say I totally expected the comments to be full of people who have no idea what they are talking about -- it is the Internet, after all :) If you have an OnShape account, I posted the link in the Printables file, I think. Let me know if you have questions / if you get it to work for you -- I'd be stoked to hear if you replicate it!
@@joshuawise Thanks, will do! Seems the important parts are also available where I am, so I'll give it a shot when I have the time. I'll probably add a make to the Printables post if I'm successful.
To the comments that say this is an expensive circut, yes! But it's also reversible and I can imagine doing this to save space or if cutting vinyl only once in a while.
It is driving me crazy that you didn't close any of the gaps on the first lap, save energy in the draft! Other than that, it looks like a fun and tough course.Good job catching people that last lap
I really felt like trash garbage on the first lap, especially after the holeshot got away from me! I’m not sure how much closing the gaps would have saved me, though, especially given how much energy was going into how choppy the terrain was. As I have discovered many times over, it sucks to suck sometimes…
So, this acoustic version came first? How fascinating to hear how different it is from all the other acoustic and trance versions of Blue Sky Action. Thanks for this 👍
I wonder if they can do something like you mentioned, a long green striped merge painted on the ground. If they just cut the bollards earlier on in the merge (sooner than 35 feet) it'd be totally doable
Yes, a long striped green merge (see San Antonio Rd northbound turning right onto California St, or Sand Hill Rd eastbound at 280) would work well here. Stevens Creek Trail is great for newer cyclists but as a mixed used trail it has dangers of its own (young pedestrians can be unpredictable and difficult to pass), and it's unlit (and, I believe, technically closed) at night, which makes it difficult to use for a commute during the winter. It's an integral part of the way cyclists can get around, but trails are only useful if they connect to useful places - and, as this video demonstrates, the El Camino connection is not one of them!
Ya all I'm saying is completely separated bike trails like in the Netherlands would never have the issue of avoiding cars. Kinda like some folks mentioned yesterday, why is there never funding for a dedicated bike trail like that? I'm positive that a north/south dedicated active transit trail would be used a lot. I suppose it's easier to put something like that out in nature like the bay lands trail. That being said, if we lived in a bike friendly place, central expressway could have a dedicated pedestrian/bike/scooter trail running parallel to it- for example
Oh but note that the poptarts at Mare Island were NOT ME. They didn't even know that they were committing terrorism. They thought it was an actually good handup.
