Weedo Tina2 Feeder Upgrade

The filament feeder on the Tina2 is working well but I find it a bit uncomfortable. It's also very simple and doesn't offer any control on the filament griping force.
I designed these feeder upgrade parts to improve the original Tina2 feeder.

Weedo Tina2 Anti Z Wobbling mod

I noticed that the Weedo Tina2 3D printer has a tendency for slight Z wobbling.

So I designed a part that completely removes it which leads to much better prints.

Weedo Tina2 filament runout detection

Having now a complete Marlin firmware opens a lot of new features.
Among them there is a filament runout detection section which I think is a feature every 3D printer should have.

So it's time to add one to my beloved Weedo Tina2.

Let there be light !

In my previous post I introduced you to the Weedo Tina2 3D printer on which I allready performed a few improvements.
Among them I told you that I will probably add some light inside it. Because I'd like to be able to better see my models being printed in dark situations or at night time.

So let me show you how this can be done in this very easy to follow tutorial...

"Leapfrog BV" or how to NOT get fucked by a frog

Since my last shout and complaint regarding the Leapfog BV's attitude with their customers (at least me... maybe everything is OK for most people hopefully !), I got back in touch with them.

And now my 2 spools of white ABS are at home !

A special "Thanks!" to L.J. and MJ.R. from Leapfrog !

Thank you !

It seems that BitsFromBytes, acquired by 3DSystem, has decided to discontinue the Rapman development.

Single layer raft on UP!

The UP! software doesn't allow for raft smaller than 2mm. But you can still disable it.

Compared to other slicers I have used (Kisslicer, Skeinforge) the UP! raft is very thick !

The UP! raft structure is made of tunnels and so far it has proved to be efficient. But making such a thick raft is a big waste of material ! (could it be a commercial strategy ?)

Let's see how to print with just a single layer raft...
