Thank you @Snestle ! There’s a little bit of clarification here on my language, when saying I’m declaring bankruptcy on these projects, I simply meant that I’m giving up on all my project tools, not that my shop went out of business! Apologies on that!
I am really curious how I can go about offloading these that doesn’t end up with a bunch of parts in a landfill or a box in my shop.
If not donating to ASMBLY, I’m open to giving away all of this equipment, with the exception of the CNC and the Anycubic Photon Mono X - those two I would like to sell for some small amount.
A little more context about these projects:
IdeaPrinter F100L Frame - FREE This is a really interesting printer, and was actually the first 3d printer I got back in 2017. This is a CoreXY printer and the build volume is quite interesting with 2 ft of Z height and an incredibly sturdy steel frame. My intention was to outfit this printer with a dual extrusion head to really make the most of the intense z height with soluble supports on very tall intricate models.
The Artillery Sidewinder FREE is a bit of a frankenstein printer at this point. I outfitted this machine with some additional z support with the angled rods on the back of the frame to help with vibration. I can’t remember if the stock extruder is on the machine or not, but I have a E3D Hemera Revo I was intending to install. It comes with a TH3D EZABL as well. The ribbon cables were relatively recently replaced. I am having some issues with the x endstop, but I believe with a little TLC this thing could be printing and ready to go.
Dremel Printer FREE - this was given to me by a friend who’s office had bought it and then never used it. Pretty sure it works???
Taz Workhorse Pro FREE - This is honestly the saddest of the bunch. I bought this from an individual who did an incredible job upgrading the mainboard to a Duet 2 Wifi. I’m not sure what happened along the way of my ownership of it, but I spent many, many many hours trying to figure out issues with twist in the print bed/frame, going so far as to completely disassemble and reassemble the frame. I have several additional extruders for this and it also has the lulzbot magnetic build surface. That said, it is basically parts right now, would require a lot of love to restore to function.
Chinese 6030 Desktop CNC $900 - I got this brand new off craigslist during the pandemic. it was initially packaged with a single speed dremel style toolhead. I upgraded the controller to an OpenBuilds BlackBox controller, installed the 1.5kw water cooled spindle, and added a z probe. This has a rotary axis that I’ve never used, but it works quite well. It may require a tiny bit of tramming (I cut the mounting plate for the spindle on another cnc) and calibrating of the steppers, but I’m pretty confident everything is +/- .2mm. I would be happy to offload this for $900 to recoup the cost of the parts I spent upgrading it.
Anycubic Photon Mono X $250 - I’ve added a somewhat precarious heater to the enclosure for printing viscous resins/during winter that works great. I have the wash and cure station with 2 extra washing containers, and I have an extra resin vat, and the print bed has a matterhackers Layerlock surface adhered to it. This machine also works great, but I just need the space reclaimed for a larger resin printer.
