My lite does some squeaking and rubbing sounds too…
might need to fool with the tension on that one too

Honestly have not used it much since I fixed it. I would make sure the spring was seated correctly. I think that mine was not set in straight from the factory.
What nozzle are you going to use with them? It looks like they come with a 0.4mm nozzle.
Am I crazy to think having the wires on the bottom is a mistake? In that story of the design they had them on the top and then moved them down. Seems like they are in more danger from printer blobs and I probably have to route everything up anyway. I haven’t thought everything through yet. But this is a contender for my new hot end. The hemera has been a champ.
I saw that when I imported the model into fusion the other day and hoped it was just a model mistake. That makes absolutely no sense having them on the bottom.
I haven’t ordered one yet. Was waiting to see what Ryan said when his came in LOL
0.6mm CHT
Yeah, If possible I will be covering them, Kinda assume I can do that with the fan shroud. I have had a few blobs over the years, and the filament sensor will not help with that.
All of my hemeras are still going even my two hermes. I bought a new bowden tube clamp for one and one bearing for the other, couple thermistors. Not bad for all the years / hours they have been going. I almost went to the new extruder but willing to give a few others a shot for 1/2 1/3 the cost. If this orbiter has any issues, then back to E3D.
Should be here in a day or two.

What, no MPEDM?

You know we are in a weird time. Plasma, metal cutting laser, edm are all “affordable” now. I never thought I would wonder which one I should invest in…first.
I have the CNC plasma, not sure the accuracy is what I want (I make smaller things), Metal laser would be ideal (still pretty expensive to add to a LR), EDM (holes are a hassle currently and a bit slow but the accuracy is nuts).
I am poking around with a design update and these things are at the front of my mind. Design for manufacture is actually a lot harder these days. DFM for us used to just be 3D printers…now we can do anything we want, even getting 3D printed metal parts is not outside affordable anymore really.

I will do the responsible thing and wait. Be brutal in your feedback. We are already excited.
It takes the one compatible with V6, right?
I’m personally hanging out for a smaller/cheap waterjet option. Something with the capabilities of the Wazer would be neat, but the price just isn’t there, yet.
Edit: I see Jonathan Jones shares my enthusiasm, at least!

Any updates from BTT about the issue with the H2?
Not really, they think it was a bearing issue, both of mine had different bearings so both failed.
I just did my first tests prints with the Orbit v3 yesterday, slick little unit.

Oh…and I ran the btt eddy. That little booger is awesome. If you get the USB version it homes, ztilt and mesh, with thermal compensation. Easy fast and accurate.

Does the CAN version not home/mesh/tilt?
Do you have any pics of your orbital setup? Or fo you have long zip ties still?
Was reading about it and the coil version for the EBB does not have thermal compensation so it is “unsuited for homing”. Little bummed about it.

I have the Eddy Coil which is I2C to the EBB36 and it does not have the temperature compensation so it isn’t accurate enough to home. But it does Z tilt and bed mesh just fine. You can get canbus cable that has USB wires in it as well. I might give that a try when I switch over the V4 to V5. But for now I am running a Z endstop
Yeah I didn’t read enough into it. I had originally bought the USB Version, then sent it back for the coil so I didn’t have to run more wires. Now that I have it I wish I would have stuck with the USB version. But either way it works really well. 10 x 10 bed mesh on a 300x300 bed in about 4 seconds…

we need a column for just new stuff. Half of what I am reading above, I have not yet heard of!
So this looks like the orbit v3 Smart Orbiter v3.0 – ORBITER PROJECTS
Eddy BIGTREETECH Eddy – Biqu Equipment that looks like the eddy, (although still not sure what it is. LOL)
ohhh
And trying to scope through and find out this one 
Is the compensation done inside Klipper, or internal to the Eddy? If in Klipper, then can you put a thermistor on the Eddy and use the EBB to monitor it (So Klipper can again do the thermal compensation)?
I know the USB version has a Pi in it. I am not sure on the coil version. I know I didn’t have to flash the eddy like Ryan did for his usb version
I’ll need to go study this. It has an RP2040 (Pico)?
I hate that the raspberry pi foundation named the microcontroller a “Pi pico”, which is nothing at all as capable as a full up RPi SBC. (and the Pi 5 actually uses a Pico variant chip as a peripheral controller.)
