Former extruder motor. I presently use larger motors, but the control methodology is the same and is what is important. I'll make a real video about this when I can. This moment in this video was a big deal for me, but I need to provide context.
I'm sorry, this was four years ago, I'm no longer using these motors, this control board, or this firmware. These days I'm using the Duet 3D control board and RepRap firmware, and all the tools I need are already present in those platforms.
@@TomLauerman Thank you for the info. Would you happen to have some links or pointers on clay 3d using Duet 3D and RepRap firmware. We were using the Marlin firmware but when I read your article I think it makes sense what you said, we have the two systems the clay system and the nozzle ( 3d printer ) but reading your article I have realized the systems do not need to talk to each other they just need to be "synchronized" in stop, start and velocity . Is that assumption correct ?
@@carontheus thanks for the follow up. Which article of mine are you referencing? I did write up some thoughts about controlling motors in this synchronized way here: tomlauerman.com/blog/2018/12/5/3d-printing-in-clay-using-a-synchronized-mechanical-feed-and-auger-extruder
