      Hi everyone
      I have a 3D printer Hypercube, I built from scratch recovering the pieces from my previous printer also autocostruita. Is’ sufficiently precise and use it to build cogwheels and mechanical parts.
      Using the PLA which is high temperature softens and degrades under the sun (you have to paint it), but for use in a telescope I do not think that there are problems.
      Alternatively, the PLA is the PETG, that of bottles of mineral water, but I have not tried it yet
      For the CAD 3D I suggest Fusion 360 Autodesk. Is’ free for students and makers, just sign in Autodesk specifying who do not work for uses.
      Is’ Parametric and once obtained the solid export the .stl file for stampante3d
      As for the PC, you can find anywhere PC used reconditioned. I have two PCs a I5 and I7
      paid rispettvamente 180 e 210 €.

        Thanks Frank_q.
        A voice for their trials like yours, in a cutting-edge technology such as 3D printing, on a critical suggestions on the little-known technology that involves the post-print behavior :scratch: of materials related to the melting wires usable, It is always desired and appreciated!! :good:

          hello Giulio,
          you have a very similar philosophy to some of my colleagues. My philosophy is a little’ different: we say it is pretty easy for a technician “not the branch” like me, you find yourself thinking things already done. And the synthesis of mechanisms is something that brings, Topics covered in a long time, find themselves with almost everything already done. I say almost, because since I work for the developer of prototypes, if it was really all-all done the same technology I would have been fired B-)
          Anyway thank you very much for bringing your field of experience on this blog. Moreover, as you wrote, design without deadlines is really fun!
          I will keep in mind the advice to put in abutment on one side of the tooth profiles of the telescope by weight. I was concerned as a solution because I have read of people who have found themselves losing the evening due to a movement of the pipe, once it exceeded a certain angle. For that alone probably insist on good old mechanism that I described.
