Metal 3D-printer based on induction heating...

                I decided to show this module which responsible for wire feeding. I have created this module at summer 2019. This module has high feed torque because there i utilized DC motor, has wire seeking capabilities and torque sensor. I had thoughts to use industrial servo, but i didn't use it due to budget reason and other reasons. That to control position of wire, i implemented position controller by using optical encoder (form old device), PID regulator and DC driver (which supports PWM). PID regulator i have implemented at AVR microcontroller on C++/C. I note that PID regulators need turning of own coefficients, but i did it via additional homebrew PC software. That to use encoder i have used hardware counters and timers at the microcontroller, for better reliability. Also i programmed serial software interface that to manage this module. With torque sensor this module can provide graph of it in to any module and PC in real-time . Also i developed some special parts that to create the wire feeder.

                Maybe this description abstract because this project isn't open source, thank you for understanding. If you have ideas please write in DM).

Main problem that to give a lot print layers is microfluidic problem inside an nozzle. That to solve it me need try several another variants of nozzles which has another sizes and even shape, but if i change size of nozze it cause use termal isolator (from ceramic) with another sizes and custom shape. All it expencive for me (i'm student) and all i manufacture it on foreign fabrics... .

If you think that project is perspective, You can do donate.

Pay attention to the fact that this project while isn't open-source...

In the near future I will make a detailed financial estimate that to continue the project. In a rough approximation, this 5000 - 8 000$ (that to give print layers and how, therefore, the first test prints of detals ).
