Neat! Thank you @PKochZ71, I appreciate seeing your Vac setup. Like your idea of putting hose on the X Max/right side. Good points about X travel and preventing hose being hit. Will make my final Struts 1"-2" longer than the extra 2" they have to leave room for the Drag Vac Hose (DVH).
Will limit X travel using software and/or hardware (e.g. attach stop block to X rail(s)), so Core (and Router) cannot collide with DVH near X max.
Like the moving blanket clad enclosure, that’s more professional than the janky layered towel setup I was planning. So, thanks for sharing info about your multi purpose enclosure.
Your use of PVC pipe sections in the spoilboard is neat too, I have a bunch of Pex and PVC fittings/pipe that could be used like this. Great use of materials!
EDIT: Noticed some recent Vac related posts, sharing incase this helps… @PKochZ71 has given me hope about using the deadzone on the railside. Currently squishing a 2-1/2" Vac hose to fit…
Squished 2-1/2" fits under bottomed out LR4 on 3/4" raised Y. Would build torsion’sh box differently if was starting over, would create a deeper channel for regular 2-1/2" hose to fit. Hose is not stiff enough to self support, a legit drag chain or some kind of support/reinforcement would be needed for Longer bench.
Anyone seen exceptionally eye/camera friendly dust shoe+skirt setups on a V1E or other machines? I like how effective current design is at doing it’s job.
Am trying to get decent footage showing off the LR4, and better understand behavior/limits when pushed… Better slow-mo cam would be ideal.
You’ve sent me down a rabbit hole I really shouldn’t go down! I had been considering how to mount and power an esp32cam as part of a custom dust shoe, without changing the air flow round it. (that was for my now abandoned LR3 shoe which had conceptual similarities at least.) It turns out the esp32 cam is not terribly great at slo mo.
A search for “tiny cheap high speed camera” depressingly illustrates how far out of touch I am with what I consider to be “cheap”.
I am absolutely going to stop here - but today I’ve learned -
60 fps will give a reasonable slo mo, but 120 is better.
the esp32 cam will do 60fps, but will get hot.
it’s not hard to adapt a webcam which should give 60 fps and apparently can be pushed (I don’t know how) to higher rates. https://youtu.be/C8pFkhkTvqo?si=dMsaApBKK406SOLb
4)FPV cameras seem to be perfect, but I can’t find one that I can trust for less than about $150!
Now I am sitting back with a cool beverage and watching how this plays out!
these look very handy. Do you have a link to them and the collars? I think they could be printed, but Im up to eyeballs in bright orange abs right now and dont want to mess with it.
