Whoa. Kydex 100 0.125" is better price (5.30 ea), more rigid than ABS, and works. When wheels are adjusted tight it has less than .5mm bow in the...
By each Amazon.com: 12"x12"x 1/4" (.250") ABS PLASTIC SHEET TEXTURED FRONT SMOOTH BACK VACUUM FORMING THERMOFORMING BLACK: Office Products By 8 pk...
I think I've found what I want to change to for the build plate - 12"x12"x 1/4" (.250") ABS PLASTIC SHEET. It cuts easily on a table saw to 214mm...
Annoy away, that's what this forum is all about! Like you, I too studied ways to combat level creep, thinking of building my own concept. But I...
I use 1/8 microstepping on Z & E0 which produces smooth enough movement but with more power than 1/16. So I pondered this first layer landing too....
Elmo, visit the new assembly manual at TrueUp Glide Install & Level X Axis for a new, accurate way to true the bed with the extruder. That can be...
Print the glide body (with cavity) and the bushing inserts on the same print, with the width of the cavity and width of the insert being both set...
Consult the Build Tab. Today I added files for Version 2 (5/12). Files listed below pictures Version 2 has beefed up mounts for the Z screws, a...
No I don't have a schematic. But I do color code the endstop wires Blue=X, Yellow=Y, Green=Z. Then I also tape the wire ends for X,Y,Z motors with...
235 would work. I had to go to 245 to get good flow - but then I don't print anything with less than 100mm/sec infill, which is probably why I...
I've only printed one spool pf PETG. I could not see any advantage to PETG. PETG runs hotter, so it needs an all metal barrel in the extruder...
I tighten my spring screws down to 1/4" between plates so I have plenty of tension on them. I agree with Sugarj, you'll need stronger springs or...
Are you guys using the 8mm Metric Acme Lead Screw or some other leadscrew? If some other, and using brass nuts, how do you propose handling...
Yeah. The Y axis sets the width of the inserts AND the width of the cavities they set in. Since you had to remake the glide bodies for the 20x40,...
To theoretically hit 12.5 would require microstepping. Microstepping is a phantom, you'll likely land on 13 on most layers, not 12.5. On a box...
The taper was added recently. You may have printed earlier files. Download the STL or SKP files again and compare. The batch with the taper have a...
Thanks a bunch loglow! Ordered from DB Roberts. Shipping doubled the price. If I like maybe ordering by the 1000 will fix that somewhat.
1/16th I use 16T pulley for a 10micron resolution. A 20T pulley gives 12.5 resolution.
Never tried them. Do you have a link for M3?
If I was going to print my own nuts, I'd use ABS or PETG. They are elastic polymers, whereas PLA is not. PLA will sheer to fit the threads whereas...
