A project log for SecSavr Sublime [gd0036]

An FDM 3D printer that I described as "The FULL Coverage, Extended X, Pro Max, Ultramatrix Solution".

This is a place to put any discoveries I find, if anyone was looking at this project for inspiration.

I've found a better 330fps camera option: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005102333833.html

This camera has a smaller PCB, the actual sensor is on a ribbon cable (thus even easier to mount in a printhead) and can do 1080p 120FPS allegedly, unlike 60FPS for the 38x38mm board I found.

Just discovered this article whilst scanning through the site's assortment of articles:

Seems like some companies in 2019 had the same basic idea I had in this project (5 axis, toolchanging, copper wire placing) and got together to collaborate on developing a solution.

Induction heating instead of the volcano block would've been a really nice feature to have for a toolchanger:
