Starting this thread to keep things a bit more organized. Moving the new updated parts out of the version 2 thread.
Corner Assembly
So This part should not be this hard to make. I have made so many versions of the corner it is embarrassing, way harder than the whole center assembly. This was updated to help make a more square machine. The old one, if flexed, could be out of square with no way to adjust it. This is a take on the totem styles out there.
Not as sexy as the last design but this thing works so well. You barely have to put any tension on the screws to completely lock the conduit in place. So before you go all gorilla on the screws please don’t. No glue needed, but it couldn’t hurt as long as you use a screw as well.
Total 92.35g PLA @ 55% infill, 3 perimeters 2 bottom 3 top
old one “corner #2” weighs in at 102g
time
2 of each - top 2:06
2 of each - bottom 2:35
2 of each - lock 1.28
4 of these - spacer ? :15
Each corner looks to be about 2:20 faster to print
23.5mm “C”-Files -----I will put them on thingiverse soon.
I am printing a set now and am keeping track of print times. It looks like we will lose about 3mm in the work area over the corner block 2, bummer. But it works so much better it is worth it.
I also finally ran the new middle, seems pretty good, but we’ll get to that soon…
If you have a 23.5mm machine I have linked the files up above, as soon as someone confirms the part I will make the other versions and put it on thingiverse.
The right way letters go together and the mirrored letters together. The only way I could think to keep them organized, and differentiate between sizes, different letters.
np. its a good test for my mpcnc. I like the idea of a better calibrated machine. its just filament anyway, and im keeping a large family of chinese filament makers well fed…
So… im using a capacitive level sensor for a z end stop. I usually keep my nozzle a little high, because I still don’t trust the printer I built, and I usually manually bring down the nozzle right before printing. I forgot to do that part tonight, so it’s back to start. but I do have some thin examples of the fit I’m getting on my conduit.
Getting there! Used up the last of my free black pla that I got at MRRF. Back to the purple pla. Going to have to make a trip to microcenter this weekend. Almost out of filament!
Do either of you two ever print in ABS (I don’t and I hate it, really)? I have 3 rolls sitting here 1 I opened last week and 2 are brand new dark blue. Yours if you want to pay for shipping?
I placed a bad order in a hurry and returning them isn’t really an option.
Let me know if you want 1 or all of em, 2 might fit in a med flat rate 3 in the large.
Gotta do something about the acceleration settings on my MPCNC. i don’t know when you started printing yours but I know damn well that when I left the house this morning I had at least 3-5 more hours to go. and that would have been the same time you posted here.
