Looking real good Robert.

Tweakie.

 

Ty
I did calibration lastnight and printed it's first part along with a test of the heatbed.
It takes 5 mins to get to temp and a blast with my infrared gun showed even temps



I must say I really like this printer

 

So I figured I would put the OBi3 to the test and see just what it could pull off


.1 layer 12.5 micron resolution

Then I said hey why not try it at 50% scale


Then I figured what the heck 25% should be interesting

Not bad for a .3 nozzle

 

Brilliant

Tweakie.

 

Yes all my prints are PLA
I will be trying ABS but I hear it smells
The micron level is determined by your pulleys, belts and micro stepping
I have gt2 belts, 20 tooth pulleys and running @ 1/16th step rate the calculator is part of the prusa caluculator online

 

The tape goes right onto the glass no treatment needed and prints stick good.
Green painters tape is a gamble some works some don't :/

 

so i was looking at the BOB and i saw there was 3/8 threaded rod isnt there 2 different sizes used

 

The parts you printed are designed for M10 in the y direction and M8 X direction

 

ok sounds good i know you told me on instagram but cant find post what legths do i need of each again sorry haha about to order rod lowes only has 8m threaded rod no m10. Also what size bearings dont see them on the list aswell

 

OBi3 kit with assembled Wades minus the hotend getting packed for shipping


On to a custom themed one

 

One meter of each

 

And now for a ABS test print

 

Thanks bud will order them. Also i have the standard skateboard bearing size for extruder but i know i need smaller ones do you know what size

 

2x625z for Y
1x624z for X
In my kits I use 3x625 OB bearings because I have 5mm to 3mm inserts

 

Great man thanks i appreciate it!!

 

Man i was just looking at the parts in the file section these parts are wrong im holding the y motor mount and it has holes for 10mm rods where the corners have holes for 8mm. Same is true with y belt tensioner Also even if they were 8mm they dont line up with the corner blocks

 

????!
I will put the stls together now, give me 30 min
Sorry bud not sure what happened there

 

no worries man all parts wont be in until friday. Thanks man

 

Here you go bud, I think you got a mix of the orig and my modded version stls

 

I just grabbed all the separate files under the file tab. Should those be the only 2 parts that are different. Thats all i can tell.

 

I don't use any supports but do use BLUE painters tape and a 5mm brim to create more surface area for the bed to hold onto.
With the proper cooling overhangs will be improved greatly

 

Just though i would share this looks nice want to add it to my build when i start it.

Where/what is the name of the part that attaches to the X Idler and X Motor mounts that the threaded rod goes through? I don't see it in the files section.

 

Im not 100% sure of the name but download the file the robert share bottom of second page. I just open up the parts in an stl viewer like netfabb

 

I looked through them all but I don't see that part. I'm starting to think is a metal part that gets attached to the X idler and motor parts instead of inserting a nut as some of the other build use. I'd just like clarification on it before I print the parts.

This black part is the one I'm seeking more info on.
