Oh, I wasn’t asking for them, just got home from a “feed my starving children” packing session and was thinking about the poor starving children around the world and tossing your “perfectly good parts” when there are probably others that could use them - would be a waste.
Powder coating sounds like a good idea and will be interesting and educational to try. I’m building mine with acrylic when I get sick of how slow the v4 is and once I get the cnc rebuilt I’ll cut my own aluminum v5 set, which is probably more of a bucket list item for the mpcnc now as a rite of passage than anything else. I dig your build though. Thanks for sharing.
Man once I finally got all my issues on my V4 squared away and put a better hotend/extruder on it its anything but slow now. The V5 should be faster, but I wouldn’t call the V4 slow, not anymore anyways LOL
For me I ended up going back to Trochoidal and pretty much ran the same settings from this post Those just work. As long as you have a good bit and don’t keep trying to use it after its dull you wont have any issues here.
No, money is tight, been tight for a while. No more builds for me unless I can do with what is on hand.
13 and 14 year old girls, braces, 14 year old is turning 15 in a couple months so drivers ed, etc. No builds for me. Just sit back and watch with popcorn
I thought that blue container was loctite but maybe not. I would look at it and see but it hit the trash can lol. Don’t need that sitting around to make the same mistake again lol
Well in all honesty, I’m still learning my machine, learning to cut wood and getting used to generating gcode. But I’m looking forward to the day of “experimenting” in either aluminum and “transparent aluminum” (acrylic), or both. Of course this will be after I order the mister from Amazon. (Just not for the acrylic, haven’t forgotten your lessons)
Everyday I argue with myself, if today will be the day I order it, but I keep stopping myself knowing it’s only going to collect dust for a bit. But it’s saved in my “wish list”.
