The fire risk created by printing unattended is not worth it.

I feel your pain. For construction lasercutting is definentely the way to go. Unfortunately I have no experience on the software side of this but i do know with a rasperry pi you can controll gpio in conjunction with something like octoprint. However I do have a ton of experience in manufacturing as well as the mechanical aspects. Good Luck on your project. -Alexander

Fair enough! Though I wonder, given the enclosed space and small volume could you potentially “make” an extinguisher with a CO₂ canister for IDK, airsoft etc?

Might not be a point even considering it but I’m curious.

I am big fan of K.I.S.S. principle myself! What you are suggesting makes a lot of sense provided:

1. You have auto-level feature for your 3D printer so that you don’t have to calibrate it every time you move it.

2. You don’t have 17 month wild child at home with access to almost all areas :wink:

3. You don’t have to commute by subway

Dear Prasad,

This is good idea. I also have your probelm. I think many pepole interest and buy if you can make a robotic arm cost around 200-500USD, and really handel 3d printing automate that process.

Thx

Hi,

Yes, that is definitely something I would invest in.

I also wish I could print remotely.

If you’re still interested in doing this but 10x bigger, then shoot me an email at sloiczly@gmail.com. The high level idea is to be able to create a town with an autonomous 3D printing robot. Imagine a self driving car but remove the hood and add 4,5,6+ 3D printing arms! Email me and we’ll talk more.
