Lemontron

This took forever but Endgame is out! It's a finished product! www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU5C...

Rigid z-block design. Moved tensioner elsewhere.

Ok guys I FINALLY dialed in the new tool head geometry and that bridge is looking tight

All that work just for a test

Started working on the gcode viewer part of Lemon Slicer. Surprising results after just an hour of work:

Lemonstruder 🍋 V2. Powered test. Gear ratio 72:20 (=3.6x) this has been a long time coming 🍸 Yes, it absolutely slaps.

This is the visualization feature, straight out of Shapr3D CAD software. I'm simply blown away...

Gear reduction prototype for Lemontron

So, I've been learning Swift.

Guess what just showed up after sailing 45 days in the sea ⛵

If you like Lemontron, you might like this too. This guy is the hero we need. All FreeCAD really needs is someone to work on the UI. youtu.be/X_voRRg1juQ

I'm really really proud of this BOM optimization down to 10 screws, look how many screws do double duty or 5x duty :) How many printers do you know that use 10 screws!

🍋 Rev D is OUT! 🍋 This is the cleanest update yet! And once again it's backwards compatible, meaning all the 3d printed parts fit together in the same way. New bracket, new heat set insert geometry, eliminated screws, and lots of DFM! Read changelog 👉 www.printables.com/model/115552...

Real Software Engineer chimes in on Bambu's "response". (They aren't really backpedalling, but I don't think it's malice!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA9d...

Bambu's firmware shenanigans are making me rethink ever recommending one again. They have to backtrack on it, or lose the goodwill of the 3DP community that is "open source but willing to give on value sometimes", which is not an insignificant sector.

Bambu thinks they're sly but they're not; Lemontron has migrated off Bambu's platform to **Printables**, and it should have been that way from the start. Please take a moment to Like, Follow, Bookmark, and Download on the Printables platform. 👉 www.printables.com/@Lemontron_2...

Took a new beauty shot for the website.

Another fancy guide coming your way just in time for the people finishing up their Lemontrons!!! lemontron.com/lemontron/ho...

🚨 If you ever had issues opening the 3MF file, this update's for you! In order to make Lemontron more accessible to everyone, you can now download plain old, old skool STL's, which have the multi-material features removed. makerworld.com/en/@lemontron

Found a BOM issue. The BOM lists 4.5mm heat set inserts but the ones that fit are 5mm. Beware!! You may have to reorder the correct inserts! Sorry guys!

The Lemontron has now received its first update since the initial release! TLDR, enhanced compatibility with LOP series of PSU, user-configurable 3DP teardrop angle, small changes to improve DFM, and some fixes. Read up by reading the description on "Lemontron Rev B". makerworld.com/en/models/90...

Wrapping up the 161-step picture guide for the Lemontron, which is now FULLY released as open source (original source cad) and some useful mini-guides were born. lemontron.com/lemontron/ lemontron.com/news/how-to-... lemontron.com/news/how-to-... lemontron.com/news/3d-prin...

This is huge guys! Lemontron is the newest Positron-style printer, a little printer with big big ambition! #positron3d

USB-C everything? Well with this power supply you could... www.mouser.com/ProductDetai...

An inverted @positron3d.com is called a what? #InversionReversion

Lemontron complete BOM. All parts accounted for 🍋 (this is for the next YT video)

I've spent the whole day editing the Lemontron BOM, sourcing is hard work guys, please help www.patreon.com/Lemontron

This breakout board is part of the Lemontron and was just created by Sample Name and it is awesome. It really makes the tool head much easier to wire. In the video I had v1 but this v1.1 is even better.

Added a filament spool spool (FSS) hardly noteworthy but it’s one more item checked off

Man, I didn't even know we had this feature. Name another 3D Printer that can do... well, THAT. shout-out to the Lemontron guys for finding this lol

We made a Positron 3D Starter pack; This contains a ton of team members from Positron, as well as from forks like Lemontron. go.bsky.app/3UZMdKA

If Life Gives You Lemons, Build this Lemontron

Lemontron featured in Hackaday!!! And what a wonderful write up! hackaday.com/2024/11/20/i... I’m so excited!

tfw you finish building a 3D printer and can FINAALLY clean off your workspace…but you realize you’re also a youtuber and now your computer desktop is riddled with video assets too

Love nice round numbers. Good to see! Thanks for your unwavering support guys! 💪

Wanna see something funny? Did you know that NO bearings even leave contact with the rail until the carriage is literally sticking out? So theres an extra 5mm you get for free, you just have to make a little space for it. You never know, that extra 5mm could make the difference one day!

The fold is so satisfying

Lemontron progress update! Bed forks: tested!!! www.youtube.com/shorts/KInSL...

Quite the chonker
