Selling off part of my print farm to upgrade. These printers are Klipper ready and operating on a Creality Sonic Pad. They have been printing carbon fiber materials mostly and are well-equipped for it. Asking $500 for printers + $140 if you need the Sonic Pad.

Images of the calibration cubes were taken at the worst angle I could find in semi-harsh light. Samples will be included so you can compare. They look good at most other angles.

Anycubic Vyper: 0.4mm Volcano NozzleX, plated copper block, titanium heatbreak, upgraded BMG clone extruder. Runs ok but at these speeds should probably have a real BMG extruder for PLA and faster materials, as well as those with high retraction. See images for calibration cubes in CF PC, CF PETG, and CF ASA.

Ender-3 V2: 0.25mm hardened steel nozzle, Dragonfly BMS hotend, swapped in the Vyper’s OEM extruder (has reversed wires). Added frame supports but still has a very slight skew. Still perfect for round/cylindrical prints, toys, or figurines and small details. Prints very nice! See images for small text ability on dials, printed with CF PETG. Can swap it to 0.4mm nozzle on request.

Will include as many profiles as I have in both .json and .3MF formats. I use OrcaSlicer for these so I can print via IP address. Profiles will be loaded onto USB key that came with the Sonic Pad or memory card if you don’t need the pad.

Accelerometer also included, but I feel like I got better results doing manual calibration through a test print.

Extras: Spare screens included for both printers if you ever revert to stock, any extra heat breaks, nozzles, and other parts I find.

Local pickup only, will meet within 2hrs of Oceanside.

Next up for auction will be this sleek and slim stealth Big Roid, as well as a DIY Big Wide kit for those without a printer, but have a lens, flash, and Lomograflok.

Print Farm Sale

3-printer mini farm, all with Klipper installed. Prusa MK3, Anycubic Vyper, Ender-3 V2 all powered by a Creality Sonic Pad. Printers and sonic pad only, need everything else for the next machines. Will include several OrcaSlicer project files and settings, and the several removable plates I’ve picked up for them. Asking $1800 OBO, local Southern California buyer preferred but willing to make a road trip out of it to meet halfway.
Prusa MK3: 0.4mm NozzleX, plated copper block, titanium heatbreak, Prorifi3D X & Y motors. VFA and ghosting mostly gone but has some banding, likely the extruder gears but I will try to clean it up or swap them to test this. If Nextruder was available on its own already I would keep this one.
Anycubic Vyper: 0.4mm Volcano NozzleX, plated copper block, titanium heatbreak, upgraded BMG clone extruder. Runs well but at these speeds should probably have a real BMG eventually for PLA and faster materials.
Ender-3 V2: 0.25mm hardened steel nozzle, Dragonfly BMS hotend, swapped in the Vyper’s OEM extruder (has reversed wires). Has frame supports but still has a slight skew. Still perfect for round/cylindrical prints or figurines and small details. I can install a 0.4mm nozzle per buyer request.
All the printers will get a cleaning and clearing of the nozzles with special cleaning filament, with fresh heater block socks installed.

The last NanoPano cameras have shipped! These are a few of my favorite color combinations from the project.
While I can never say never to building another batch, in the short-term I want to focus on encouraging others to make and sell my cameras on their own. We’ll see what happens after.
Lots of different stuff coming from this account soon, stay tuned!

Moving as quickly as I can through the NanoPano backlog means hardly having time for some photos, but excited to finish these up today. Starting to get into the multi-color part of my order book, so I’ll have to get a group photo going for a few of the creative combos.
While NanoPano customers have gotten all the good/bad(mostly) news about these, I haven’t said much publicly. This project has been a difficult one for a lot of reasons outside of my control. Combined with the toll its had for me mentally/physically, I have decided I will no longer sell built kits of these at all outside of occasional one-off builds and DIY kits.
My goal with this model, especially, will be to find makers that can take over, as the demand is very high. More info to come on my plans for building a camera-building network for this and all of my designs.

(Link in bio for Big Wide/Big Roid signup)
After a couple Polacons I’ve come to the same conclusion I always do when going out to shoot in the world: I hate lugging around large/heavy cameras. It’s why the rest of my product line has that light and slim DNA.
With this variant I’m attempting to see how light and slim I can make a Big Roid! It’s really a Big Ligero 😎
Sucks to get rid of the nice typography on the front, but maybe I’ll add it to the polaroid cover. **What do you think?** Worth keeping the text or does slim/sleek matter more?
For the lens, I had a broken front half of a Big Shot so I rescued the single plastic element. The shutter is a fixed speed f4.5-45 German one from a Polaroid ID camera. Fortunately enough it times in at 1/35ish which works well with these cameras.
Combined with flash cubes and a self-cocking shutter this will be a high productivity beast.

Partying on, with excellent people. Gave away as many shots as I took probably! Big Wide & Big Roid did pretty well, I think. (Hit the tag limit so 3rd slide is .bourke & .mill )
On the tweak list is figuring out a better way to frame accurately, shutting off power to the Polaroid back, and a much easier way of taking these apart for transport!! 😅
The blue and grey prototypes on the last slide will be auctioned off soon! Also, I am 90% sure there will be a final variant, for Grafmatic 45 backs, sometime in the summer. Follow along for more info. A proper mailing list is coming soon to stay up to date on Big Wide, Big Roid OS, Big Roid CB, and Big Matic.

This Big Roid version incorporates the development unit from OneStep+ and OneStep2 cameras. Definitely feels cleaner than the previous CB-70 version.. I will likely shrink the front to make it look even more clean and compact.
Cavities within the body will allow for the original battery, plus a charging module and a switch. Might be taking a 4th big boi to Polacon Bay 🤔
