Have you checked out Odoo for manufacturing parts tracking?

That looks rad. All the best; glad to see your designs advancing!

I am amazed that the XL has sensorless homing. When I tried it on my IDEX printer the toolhead offsets were so inconsistent they had to be recalibrated at each homing cycle.

can lumen be wall mounted?

I would be interested in a video where you show the entire setup process for a job and talk about when it makes sense and when it doesn't make sense to own/buy a LumenPNP. What type of person do I need to be to really profit off it. How long does job setup take (real world)? Does it maybe make sense even if you just have the common resistor and capacitor values loaded in the Lumen to only have them run by the Lumen and do the rest yourself manually. (Maybe you already did that, but I can't recall a video right now.)

Really great episode guys. As someone who has been following this project for years and posted several suggestions such as the TMC when you guys were using a very old motor control it was good to see you guys listening and making modifications with others input. Keep up the great work and adding new features to the Lumen

As someone who changed to FreeCAD back at version .17, the 1.0 is such a game changer. I find myself not worrying how a change will break the model. The ease of use is just a night and day difference.

Thee boys be coookkiiinggg!!!

lots of insight, thanks for sharing

How small has this been tested to? 0603? 0402?

Ohhhhh... I want to use this for adhesives. 🤩

This addon to the LumenPnP is awesome, thank you for sharing !

Do you guys have any distribuitor in EU? Would love one for work but I don’t want to pay by card or deal with importing it to Europe

don't you lose quite a few components preparing the feeder?

Awsome! This is just what i needed. Clear and consise tutorial.

speaking of events, it was great meeting you at electronica.

Intertingly enough, Prusa's shipping costs are so high, that they have to hide some of the costs into the product. They were smart enough to know that (Americans at least) would be repulsed by a $250 shipping bill. So they hide part of that cost into the product. It's not quite the same as giving free shipping, but it avoids the knee jerk reaction of dismissing buying a product because you know so much of your money is going to me "wasted" on shipping and not the product. For them it works. I thought it was very clever.

27:00 also 3d printers are less sensitive to homing drift, they simply care if you have a bed or not there. So except for the guys at voron I would not expect it to get better / more precise

Really enjoying when you have guests :)

Song?

First :D

Some good info in here. Thanks

Thanks for uploading these to youtube - I probably wouldn’t have discovered it otherwise. Started out with this episode and it was way helpful in my current startup process! 🙏🏻

For small beta testing and such its very good

Just got my v3 today, looking forward for that upgrade kit already.

absolut heplfull, thank you.

I don't have one for my electronics workshop, but I've been following you guys for about 1 year and all I have to say is great work! It sounds like a huge milestone!🎉

WANT

The coolest open source project!!!

Which version of OpenPNP and which OS did it run on?

Is this the Lumen v3 or v4? Asking because of the speed (for reference)

Why does the camera window say that the component is a 0603 part?

Wish you were from Europe!

I saw this is also 300% faster than the LumenPnP V3, that is crazy impressive. I have a feeling there will be a lot of update kits shipping when they are ready! What does it take to borrow some of your engineers for a little while?

Very cool! Wish I had an excuse to get one.

Ha - fun epsoide. Something to add. The "big boys" when they pick a name, they also pick up the URLs for things that might be negative. So for example Verizon, a made up name, also when out and grabbed "verizonsucks.". Uhaul wasn't so savvy, so they are stuck with uhaul-sucks., a site dedicated to how (truly) horrible that company can be. I will say, I suck at spelling, and google is no help with your name. It feels like you guys pronounce it opp-ahhh--low, or opp-ooo-low. Not opp-uuu-low. Cheers.

The Opuflo, clearly. I am good at naming things.

Iḿ at the poin where I'm the only pokemon and redoing all processes where I could hire shiny fancy pokemon for some tasks and outsource some work to the real shiny ones that run their own businesses

Only two likes?! You deserve another. Thanks for the video how-to's, definitely helpful!

Drinking game - take a drink everytime stephen says "Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo important".

i heard that full interview very much the hole time. huge thanks from germany Hannover to you dudes!

I've been a freecad user for many years, and ondsel really improved the ui a lot, never going to any closed cad ever. Using any proprietary sw you do not have full control over is an uncalculateable risk no business should take.

A lot of great info! Thank you

Hello, can we create custom feeders? I want to use a 2D plate with specified locations on it.

Those are really excellent, up there with the tooling one - thanks so much and please keep them coming!

good stuff... I'm likely purchasing a LumenPNP in the near future... and of course I ran a deep dive on used PNP machines and new PNP machines. I have 2x 1995 era Juki/Zevatech PM570L machines that can place simple parts pretty fast, but choke on anything strange (no vision, just laser-shadow). On the face of it the LumenPNP isn't amazing, the CPH isn't great compared to what I'm used to, and of course there's wrestling with OpenPNP and arguing with USB ports, camera lighting etc. Hovever of all the PNP manufacturers no-one is as transparent and building a community as much as you are. That value of having docs and having the source code etc etc will really set this apart from a closed source PNP. This is where the value is. It's not necessarily the CPH, but the fact that you can fix and maintain a machine moving forward. That's where the value is.

Putting links to all the tools in the notes would be great! Thnx for all the great info and first hand experience.

If the cash being held by inventory is an issue and you have a good relationship with your vendor you can spread deliveries, and therefore payments, over time. That way you can still get the discount without the full payment up front. You'll still be out the money over say 3-months, but it's an option if cash flow is tight. Some vendors might prefer it depending on what their own internal capacity is like.
