What if you have more than 1 printer and the printed parts do not fit when you try to assemble the model? Some of you have more than one printer, and to save time, you print on multiple 3D printers at the same time. However, by the time you're ready to assemble your parts, they don't fit together as expected. This mismatch could be due to several factors related to dimensions that can vary from printer to printer. Different 3D printers may have slight calibration differences or variations in their extruder temperatures, leading to discrepancies in how materials expand or contract during printing. I wrote a blog about this problem and how you can ensure consistency in dimensions across all your prints; check it out on my website! You can add the following code to your printer starter G-code ;- Dimension Calibration M290.2 X1.00250 Y1.00250 Z1.00241 More info and an in dept explanation:https://wilhelmus3d.com/parts-printed-on-2-printers-do-not-fit/

Hi everyone! As some of you may know in the last couple months I´ve been creating a lot´s of 3D Printed cars in scale 1/19 and RC Cars in scale 1/12, it´s been an awesome journey and I love the process of designing, creating and building 3D Printed Cars between other things, but there was one part of this whole process from creating to uploading that to me was a pain, Creating the assembly guide or the manual for those 3D Prints so everyone can see clearly how to assemble them. So that´s why I created iSembly, a program that allows me from now and on on my next builds to create an assembly guide in just few minutes instead of hours or even days. So first of all a bit of context here, as said I made 3D Printed stuff mostly related with cars and as said the thing that I hated the most was the moral obligation to create an assembly guide, but with time, as some people started to know how to assemble my cars I ended up investing the time of making a guide into making more cars, but I knew this wasn´t the rigth way and wasn´t fair for users. Most of the latest released cars or projects I had don´t have an assembly guide due to the time excuse that I made for my own and the ones that were more complex to build instead of making an assembly guide I just released on YouTube a video that I already recorded while building up the cars, this way I was making 2 tasks in 1, but again I confronted few problems, First I had to edit all the videos that I recorded to upload them cleanly to YouTube, and again this took hours or even days, just to release an assembly video and Second but not least some users complained that in some scenes of the videos they weren´t able to see correctly how parts were faced, in wich direction or even wich part was the one that needed to be install in the cases were some parts look almost identical. So it was time to fix some few problems, placed them all together, and create a solution, this is where iSembly comes in action. iSembly it´s a program made for Windows 10 and 11 (Coming soon to MacOS). It has a very simple and friendly interface. In this post I´m gonna be showing you too most of the functions and tools built in iSembly. This is the main/first page from iSembly. In the first page you will be able to setup first things of your project like Assembly Main Title and overall description of the project if you want, also you can add your user, and also very important you can add a list of the materials that users will need with included links to the components or the materials they need for the project, as soon as you start you can save your project or even load previous ones you made just in case you want to later add updates or improvements. Next page is the steps page, here you´ll start working on preparing all the steps for the project.   In this point you can start adding direclty from your favourite CAD Software screenshots, there are included 2 options, take a Full screen or just take a region you later select from your main screen, I´ve added also the possibility for those that work like me in various screens to select wich screen you want to take the screenshot, as soon as you take it,it will automatically load it into the program, you can add one or more screenshots per each step. Also as you can see after you loaded the screenshot or even imported an image from your pc you can get to the next point wich is adding the description, again this can be made in 2 different ways, by direct keyboard text input, or with a system were you can use your own microphone (in case you have one into your laptop or connected to your pc) and you can directly describe with your voice the description that you want to implement, the system supports: english, spanish, french, deutsch, italian and portuguese, so choose your preference language even though in most of the cases english is most used one, once you description and image you can save the step or instead skip to the next one, don´t worry as all the stuff added to a step will be saved on the caché memory of the program without the need of saving each step by step. Once you finished a step then select Next substep (1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc) or select next step (2, 3, 4 etc) all steps will showcase on the step navigator window, here you can also get to each individual step instead of sliding from all of them.  I´ve also implemented a toolbar option as you can see on the right corner,  so you don´t have to search it any time you start working with your CAD, this toolbar has all the needed main tools, to create description and adding photos, making the whole process even simpler, and won´t disappear under other programs.  Once you finished creating all steps, images and description as simple as that, time to get to the export guide tab. Here you can see all the steps that you saved, remember you can save one by one or just save them all at the same time. Here you can select your output file, pdf or docx, or both, remember pdf files can´t be edited while on the other side docx (Microsoft Word Files) can be edited just in case you want to add something more to your assembly guide. Here you can also select the size of the images to occupy more or less space or just in case you want your images to have greater size, image layouts or the spacing between elements. Once everything it´s done select Generate documents, open the output folder and done as simple as that, in just a few minutes you can integrate iSembly with your favourite CAD and create a comprehensive and simple assembly guide. This is the final result as a Word document: And this is how it looks as pdf file: And that´s it guys an ultra simple and fast program for makers and will also help users by getting more assembly guides by everyone. I will keep updating the program as more ideas come to my mind, but for now this is it, leave in comments your thoughts and would you also implement into iSembly in future updates :) iSembly it´s available in my Patreon shop for just 15$: https://www.patreon.com/posts/isembly-assembly-140565647?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link The more updates arrive the more expensive the final price will be so go and get iSembly now, everyone purchasing will have all time access to future implementations and updates of iSembly so go on and don´t loose your opportunity to improve your 3D Models and improve your time efficiency on your projects.
