Laser cut Aluminium X-Arm & Rib kits.... July 21, 2014 09:13AM |
Hi all,
is there anyone wanting an Aluminium X-Arm kit for their Ormerod??
I'm taking pre-orders for the next batch but need to reach 10 before I can start, I currently have 3 orders.
These arms have been very well received here by those who have fitted them, they make the X-axis much more stable.
Cost is still £40 plus postage
If anyone is interested then please let me know.
Thanks
Dave
ps, the Aluminium bed support plates are now on continuous supply so no shortage there or pre-ordering etc.

I got some aluminium y axis end plates, y cross rib and y rib made up a while back, they are slightly heavier than the originals, but give loads more rigidity. I'm willing to share my design for the ribs (with lightening holes) if Dave is interested in getting some made up.

Re: Laser cut Aluminium X-Arm & Rib kits.... August 10, 2014 12:24PM |
Ok I'm back
Yes, ok let's have a look-see at the files and can then offer up options etc.
I have a feeling the y axis end plates will be not as good as the acrylic ones due to the way the rods friction -fit into them, but let's have a look

Hi
I can supply the x-arm and rib kit, the aluminium bed support plate and have also made some dual nozzle blocks for builders adding more colours.

Hi all,
I have just realised that I have shipped the latest batch of x-arm kits but forgotten to countersink one hole, if I could please ask you do this before fitting, it is the hole nearest the y support, it will be clear when assembling.
Please accept my apologies for this, I was in a rush to despatch the kits.
This only affects the latest batch of 8 or so sales, all future sales will be countersunk as needed,

It's the first hole for the rib, it sits behind the z axis column.

Yup - they have been sent off to be anodised electric blue. Two shades of blue ABS filament also on order - if neither are a good match to the arm I'll leave the black parts (black goes with any colour I suppose).
Also had a new coated aluminium base plate arrive today to replace the glass as a build plate. Supposedly the base layer will stick to it with no further preparation (other than a clean). If not I can use my normal ABS "milk" solution.

Base plate sounds good, I tried a print yesterday, first one for a while, new filament, couldn't get it to stick to the glass so I gave up
Wasn't in the mood for hassle basically, long day.
But If there is a product that works well, I might give it a go.

What sort of dilution are we talking about?
Maybe a much weaker solution would work less aggressively?

Hi
The DXF files are available somewhere in this forum, it's where I got them from, my copies are at work so won't be able to help until some time next week.

I think they are under a thread called new aluminium bed support possibly, but the master files should be on the RRP site possibly, I'm off out now, will have a look later unless someone else can help
