I finally got everything put together for a dry run test today. The wheels are still off after the end of the print. I was hoping they would be...
I am slowly putting this all together. The Step-down PS for this will be portable using ryobi 18V batteries. I am thinking of putting a switch on...
Good to know. Perhaps this will be better than the HTD5 belt. I have a yellow TPE from eSun that is a little mushier than the other one I have....
Print came out pretty good for TPU. Since it is dialed in, I started printing another one in case I want to test it before real belt comes in....
I am at 3mm thick out of the 15mm height with the printing of this belt, so looks like it will print. The problem I have found with printing the...
Thanks. That sounds like a good analogy. Think I am also going to keep the bearings in the plate. Seems like it will keep those M8 bolts more...
I added a little more character to my wheels by making the cutouts spiral up 72-degrees (360/5). That seems like it should also give the wheel...
I redid the wheel plate & assembly to use 110mm wheel spacing & looks like it fits together well now. Here is a section cut showing the belt track...
Not sure I calculated this belt length correctly but can fix it if I am in error by shortening the wheel spacing from 120mm to 110mm. I was using...
Yes, It has total of 6mm of movement up & down. My calculations for 440mm length belt being 439.7mm at center, 436.4mm shortest position &...
I redrew the wheels & idler bearing using HTD-5 belt profiles. As you can see from screen shot below, the belt is considerable thicker. I am now...
I woke up with the idea to use GT2 closed loop belt for the tires instead of O-rings. It seems like those belts would give pretty good grip & I...
I ordered 2 more belt sizes, 220mm & 240mm. Looks like I really need 240mm length to mount the motor centered but got a shorter length in case I...
This was starting to give me too much of a headache & was no longer fun, so I have shelved that idea again & will try a direct drive of one wheel...
Probably not. It would be a lot simpler to just drive one wheel with a drive gear & let the other wheel follow. It is more of an exercise to see...
I ran into a couple of problems with this today. First off, the inner ring gear needed to be opposite direction of outer ring. I had that...
I am starting play with this Ferris wheel design idea with this machine again. I have not looked at this design in a couple of years & want to...
This is a Cantilever Laser Engraver design originally based on A different kind of build. Cost should be $170-$200 or less if you already have...
I am still unable to get this scroll plate design to work for me, so I am going to modify it further to use the Cam & follower idea from my...
I am almost finished with the modification of this 3 Jaw chuck design. The guy that designed this did a really nice job & made it easy to modify...
