Iprojekthi yeRepRap incede kakhulu ekusasazeni kweeprinta ze-3D, kangangokuba xa kunokwenzeka, umhlaba we-3D uprinta uya kuhlala umile. Kule projekthi, eyenza umshicileli we-3D ngezinto ezenziwe ekhaya, ukhetho lwe-elektroniki elungileyo okanye kunoko ibhodi yolawulo ibalulekile kuba ayiseti ixabiso lomshicileli kuphela kodwa ilawula nobomi bonke bomshicileli.
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ezona zinto zithandwayo nezisetyenziswayo ziyi-RAMPS, kodwa kutshanje iphehlelelwe iprojekthi yokubuyisa imali ukuze isasaze ibhodi enokushukumisa umhlaba wonke, ibhodi ibizwa ngokuba yiBhodi yeAlligator.
IBhodi yeAlligator yahlukile kwezinye kwiimpawu zayo, hayi kuphela kuba iqokelela kwaye iphinde ilungelelanise yonke imisebenzi ye-elektroniki yangaphambili, kodwa nangenxa yokuba yongeza izinto ezintsha ezinje ngokufakwa kweprosesa ebhodini kunye nenkumbulo yayo yenkunzi yegusha neye-rom (32 -Bit ARM, 32 mbits of flash kunye ne-64 kbits ye-eeprom). IBhodi yeAlligator ikwanakho ukunxibelelana nokusebenza kunye neRaspberry Pi ke ukuzimela komshicileli we-3D ophethe le bhodi kungaphezulu kokucacileyo. Ukongeza, ukuba loo nto ibingonelanga ukuba nayo yonke le nto, iBhodi yeAlligator inezibuko le-Ethernet enedilesi yayo ye-MAC eya kwenza ukuba nayiphi na iprinta ye3D idityaniswe kwinethiwekhi ngokungathi ngumshicileli oqhelekileyo.
IBhodi yeAlligator inokwandiswa ngeRaspberry Pi
Ezi zinto zezona zibalulekileyo kodwa ayizizo zodwa kwiBhodi yeAlligator. Ngokubanzi, kwinto enye esinokuyenza nge-RAMPS esinokuyenza ngeBhodi yeAlligator, ngendlela ethe ngqo okanye engaphantsi ngqo kodwa efanayo.
La iphulo lokubuyisa imali eninzi Iqale kwiintsuku ezine ezidlulileyo kwaye sele inyuse malunga ne-2.000 ye-euro ngaphezulu kwe-10.000 euros efunekayo, nangona kusekho ngaphezulu kweentsuku ezingama-30 de kuphele eli phulo. Emva kwephulo, kulindeleke ukuba ukuthunyelwa kwamacwecwe kunye nokuthengiswa kuya kuba phakathi kwenyanga ka-Epreli noJuni, ke sinokuthi ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo ukuba kule Krisimesi siza kuba nomthwalo omtsha weeprinta ze3D ezinemisebenzi emitsha kunye neempawu ezintsha. Kwaye uninzi lwabenzi, iiyure kunye neeyure zokuzonwabisa.
