I think that's the most I've heard of someone attempting dual extrusion on a c-bot. I'd like to hear about how you find it if you do give it a go...
Going back to swapping hotends... No one using dual extrusion? I'm planning to use two extruders and hotends, one with a normal e3d-v6 0.4mm, and...
I think this size microswitch is most commonly found with M2.5 clearance holes for mounting. If you found one with M3, it might be difficult for...
Your calculation for step size is correct, but you might not be aware of the ability of stepper drivers to hold the rotor at a division between...
You might struggle to find a heated bed in a size to suit 1000x750. Gt2 belts will also probably be slightly too stretchy for that size aswell....
Ah, cheers Carl. It's a wanhao i3. Takes quite a bit of wrestling to get to where it can print reliably!
Hi All, Just wanted to share a few pictures from the assembly of my solidworks-modelled (triple) c-bot. I'm still designing the hotend carriage...
Anyone using printed t-slot nuts? Could save a decent amount on fasteners Just for illustration: M4 T Slot nut by daGHIZmo
I'd say nip this in the bud and go back to your printer and get them to sort it out! Especially if you paid them for it
Oh cool. You're welcome I 'spose! Good points. Oh, i'm not suggesting you recommend some bracing structure to all the builds. It just got stuck...
These look like good improvements. I had thought that the front XY motor brackets needed a brace between the motor mount plate and the extrusion...
Might be worth noting that the bolt lengths will have to be more accurate as the difference between the minimum (where first threads engage) and...
Whoa, that is an accident waiting to happen if I ever saw one. Do i remember you saying somewhere that you bought your SSR from eBay or...
Good point. Hadn't thought about the hotend hitting it. I'll have a re-think. I didn't think too much of using 20x40 for rigidity lower down on...
Has your bed ever moved during a print? Or do the holes in the mounting brackets have very little clearance to the threads?
Well, for the layman, a MOSFET is a switch (transistor) that is operated with the presence or absence of a voltage at an electrical "gate"...
I'll take a look at the triple c-bot again. Thanks Adam. I assumed your extrusions under the Y axis gantry were at different Z heights to your...
Cheers. The bed is 300x300, but i've sized it to use as many 500mm extrusions as possible to save on cutting. That considered, it could probably...
Are you switching DC? A MOSFET or array of MOSFETS will probably do better at those temps and cost considerably less.
Hi all, What various print bed mounting and leveling set-ups are people using? I'm planning a 3 leadscrew set-up to support a glass print...
