A modern 3D printer being controlled by an ancient KayPro II. It's printing a G-Code file saved on the floppy disk!

@SamTornado and I did an incredible amount of work to get this going. It's connected to the printer via the serial. We also had to figure out how to connect the KayPro to a PC to copy the G-Code over.

Also wrote a custom program in Z80 assembly to stream the file to the printer.

All this to prove that we could have had home 3D printers in the 80s!

My #voron 0.1 is finally complete. This is my serial number video. #3dprinting another benchy. This #3dprinter is a beast for ABS and PLA. #maker

I am so glad @notjustbikes turned his focus to all -- and I mean all -- the problems with SUVs. I share his righteous indignation at the grotesque size and harm of these vehicles.

A must watch:

While waiting for a replacement hot end fan for my #voron 0.1, I decided to inventory my #makerspace materials. Did use my only #raspberrypi 4 on the Voron. Will be interesting to learn what I have
At last! I melted plastic in my #voron 0.1 #3dprinter. It seems that I still have an issue with tube lining up to allow me to start filament easily. Prob have to take it apart one more time #maker problems :)
Just spent another four hours stuck on my #voron #3dprinter. Cannot home the Z - or interact with it in any meaningful way. I have a 2d printer. gross
Done for the day! Next step on my #formbot #voron 0.1 #3dprinter is wiring. Documentation and YouTube videos have been great friends during this build
Still making progress on the #voron. Broke one fan. Checked ease of getting a quick replacement and then crazy glue to the rescue. #maker #3dprinting
