MP3DP V4 build PLOG

So I didn’t get my extrusion cut today.

I have a pile of printed parts,

I haven’t printed any of the parts for the board, since I’ll be using the Duet. There isn’t a print list, so I made some guesses.

1 each of the X carrier, left and right XY parts, left and right motor mounts, and back corners. Oh and the mirrored Z motor mount.

2 of the Z motor mounts (not mirrored) and tension blocks, and 6 of the Z belt mounts.

Looking at the CAD, I show that all 4 uprights as well as the 4 Y spans will need extrusion cut to 395mm. The 3 X spans are 420mm in length, and the 3 Z uprights are 355mm each.

I figure that the table saw may be the best way to cut them. A bit hard on the blade, maybe though. Might be better to use the chop saw, but that’s harder to get really consistent lengths, which I think is rather important here. It may be worth a blade sharpening to get it done with a consistent cut.

I’ll find a way to get the results I want, but pretty sure that won’t happen with a hacksaw. :rofl:
