Re: Team BLEEP build diary

I finally tried using Sketchup in anger, and this is the result: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4884/31884990678_cae29959fb_c.jpg Not bad for a first attempt, I reckon. :) The idea is to use the printed stuff to fix everything in place, and use polycarb for the top, bottom, and probably sides.

Re: Team BLEEP build diary

Another minor update.. Suspicious Houmous is not dead! I was gonna sideline it in favour of different bots, as I'd been having issues with it, but in the back of my head it feels wrong to ignore it. I mean.. it can do backflips across the arena! None of my other bot ideas can do that. There's one fi...

Re: Team BLEEP build diary

aw, fanx! glad you like em. :D mine are pretty rubbish, tbh. my pushbot can't push, and my lifter can't really lift, and i expect my hammerbot won't be able to hammer, and my launcher will probably launch itself.. it's all good fun, tho! a box on wheels sounds like a good place to start. i made life...

Re: Team BLEEP build diary

aah.. all ideas and no build.. last night I was pondering Deadlock, and the way it looks like it rotates when it lifts (well, I thought it did), when I had an idea. A tin can! Imagine, if you will, a tin can (or plastic pot or summat) with the top and bottom removed, and a quarter of the circumferen...

I tried everything to try and get rid of it.. retraction, retraction speed, print temperature, print speed, coasting, various z-axis moves, extra cooling.. nothing worked! In the end, the only possible cause was damp PLA...
