This novel 3D printer kinematic system uses a mouse sensor for closed-loop control
RAS2025-08-12T20:52:34+00:00Arduino Team — August 12th, 2025 Robert Murray-Smith wants to experiment with a novel 3D printer kinematic system that drives a round bed through a friction interface — essentially a polar 3D printer, but without the backlash associated with gears. However, friction drives have a tendency to slip and so he will need closed-loop control of the system and that will require a sensor to monitor position. In a recent video, he demonstrated how it is...
