Release Notes
This release marks seven months of updates since the Beta release and focuses on making this project feature complete for the V1.0 release of the LH Stinger 3D Printer, and ready for a wider audience.
History
The idea for this project emerged in June 2023 on the Annex Engineering Discord server, with the first prototype completed in August of the same year. Due to significant community interest, I decided to make the project open source and have been working full-time on it ever since. The interest in this project has been overwhelming, and without the support of everyone around the me I wouldn't have been able to keep up with the development. I cannot thank everyone enough for that!
New Features and Improvements
-
Breakbeat PCB and Wiring Harness: Introduced a passive breakout board and wiring harness designed to be mounted on the printer, operate within an enclosure and provide an easy wiring and disconnect system between the printer and the Ebox.
-
Documentation: The LH Stinger Wiki has been regularly updated and now includes assembly guides, videos and documentation required to build, tune, and run the printer.
-
Printed Parts: Multiple updates focused on printability, strength, and ease of assembly have been applied. The printer parts are organized as pre-made plates for Orca Slicer along with individual STL files.
-
User Mods: The User Mods section includes a wide range of options for this platform, such as an AWD X configuration, multiple toolheads supporting various hotends and extruders, and other quality-of-life enhancements. Special thanks to everyone who contributed!
-
Configuration: The LH Stinger includes a comprehensive configuration built around Klipper featuring slicer profiles, themes, macros, and all necessary components for minimal setup. Configuration support and documentation for kits is available, including support for Danger Klipper.
-
CAD: The CAD files are now easily accessible though an Online Viewer, making them easier to use throughout the build process.. A CAD Primer video tutorial series is available on the wiki.
Thank you for your continuous interest and support, and for those part of this community!
