Redesigned the connector plates and the mounting system for the cable chain end. The cable chain end is held up via 2 x 40mm posts, a flat bar,...
Designed up some belt clamps for the CoreXY belt ends, for 3GT 9mm wide belt. Just some 3mm aluminum bars with 5mm holes and some grooves cut in...
Nah, the bed will be supported around the edges by the V-Slot, and the cork is fairly uniform in thickness. The tooling plate being cast aluminum...
Used one of those M5 drill taps to tap the ends of the V-Slot, and promptly snapped it off inside one end... So now I'm using a conventional M5...
Seems the price of cast aluminum dropped recently, as I was able to order the 1/4" aluminum tooling plate for about $30 less than what I had...
Thinking about adding some additional corner bracing to counteract any racking of the frame. I'll probably make the braces a little shorter, and...
My apologies - I re-measured with an accurate yardstick, and all the V-Slot I received were all 1000mm +/- 1mm. A few of the V-Slot pieces I...
Sorry, my numbers were off. I meant 995 to 997mm, 5mm to 3mm off the 1000mm length. I also need to get a better yardstick (meter stick), I have...
I got the base assembly put together, as well as the vertical rails for the Z-axis. I was a little disappointed to find out that the "1000mm"...
The 1/4" aluminum is MIC6 cast aluminum, and surfaced flat on both sides. It's 1/4" thick because you can't get MIC6 any thinner than that. It's...
I, too, will be running 2.8a Nema23's - 0.9 degree ones. The 2.4A should be enough.
The prices do seem pretty good - though the minimum screw diameter is 10mm, so I'd have to create new methods of holding the rods, as the...
Thanks for the recommendation - I already bought the rails and rods, but the design should be easy to update with 1500mm lengths... I just have to...
So these little rubber feet that I got via eBay are actually pretty nice. The rubber portion is 15mm diameter x 15mm long, and the thread is 10mm...
The cable chain needs to be supported from underneath, to reduce the drag on the moving ends. Some 1.5" x 0.75" x 0.125" (WxHxWall) aluminum C...
Modeling the plastic cable chain that I got from eBay. I got 3 x 1 Meter lengths of 10x20mm cable chain, and I'm trying to figure out how to...
Papercraft proof of concept for the blower nozzle. Folded up and glued the seams, and it seems to fit well.
Redesigned the fan duct to be a two-piece design. Unwrapped the outer surfaces and laid them flat, and now I have a cutting template. Print out...
Simple nozzle design, 0.4mm wall thickness. Blower end is about 15x20mm, output end is about 5x10mm. Nozzle blows down, not left/right - the...
Went by the hardware store today and picked up a length of 1/8" x 1" aluminum flat bar, to make the IR sensor mounting bar. I also picked up some...
