Hi Gary, for me it was most notable when I was printing larger parts and at faster speeds. I will often have a desk fan blowing into the print area which was causing my nozzle to cool down every time it would pass directly in front of the fan. By adding the insulation around the hot end block I am able to keep very consistent temperatures. This also helps reduce the amount of current needed.by BerryBot3D - General
Hey James thanks a bunch Buddy! This is great! Things never seem to go that easy for me on the programming side but I am going to give it a try! I wanted to thank you for something else James! You had written some info on the benefits of utilizing PID for bed temp. If you remember I have a high volt 110v heated bed that work super-fast awesome but I was using Bang-bang. I was ok with the lby BerryBot3D - General
Hi James, Please call Werner, Thanks for the great info! I would like to play with Repiter for firmware and may try that next. Any idea how much work it is to get it working for a delta and full graphic LCD? Hi Noob, no dragging yet. Great job on the wood clock, very cool. It looks like it should be printable? Thanks for sharing the pics. Hi Greg, send me a pm with your email I would be haby BerryBot3D - General
Hey TechnicalNoob I am not done but I just couldn’t wait to see if it would tick-tock. To my amazement it runs! I need to adjust the weight and make a correct fly wheel. I did not see where he says to use 90% infill and I used 25% But it still works. Wahooo…. I will post some pics when I get the front and hands printed. Have a great day! Wernerby BerryBot3D - General
Same one! The Guy that designed it did an awesome job with it. Thanks for the suggestions!! These are things to think about. I really like the Rambo board that I am using! I also like the LCD but that combination along with the math for delta moves seems to be pushing it. I don’t know why it bugs me I not even like to print fast 75+. Wernerby BerryBot3D - General
Thanks Sim, I had to take a break to get a few things done but have been printing and building like crazy! I have built myself a new BerryBot3D that is super nice using linear bearings and a bunch of small improvements. I played around with some Mini Rail GST guide from PBC to see how they would work but I could not get the level of precision I was looking for (see pic). I have also been playby BerryBot3D - General
Hey Guys, I purchase a couple of V6 hotends from E3D to play with and try out. After running these little beauties on two of my printers I have to say great job to the Sanjay and the other folks at E3D for a job well done! Being a machinist I carefully looked at the surface finish of the parts and was very impressed, this is a very well machined hotend! With over 400 print hours on them printby BerryBot3D - General
Hi Guys, I am in the process of designing/building a new shop for myself and it is consuming all of my time. I am thinking it should be done sometime around June if I am lucky. It is so much fun designing where equipment should be placed, how to run, electrical, air and dust vacuum lines……. NewKid, sure you can run the E3D no problem!! Scaling the BerryBot3D to 24” circle should also not beby BerryBot3D - General
Thanks for sharing Guys!! Really great projects!! Wayne I read through your build log super cool. You did a nice job documenting everything. Getting my laser project started is very high on my priority list if I just was not having so much fun printing it would be done! Haha. I just posted the NEW VIDEO I had been working on it has a couple of cool things in it, Check it out: Happy Buildby BerryBot3D - General
Hey Rad great job!! You need to add access holes for the belt? Just kidding I know you realize that! Guys I have not had much time and am still working on a video I wanted to get posted last weekend! I will put out more info just as soon as I can. Rad I love the laser!! I have designed one that I am working on myself! A great tool to have!! 2’ X 4’ 150-180 watt. I am looking forward toby BerryBot3D - General
Shuyak, I will PM you soon! Wernerby BerryBot3D - General

Hi Guys, Been having toooooo much fun look what I just pulled of the BerryBot3D. Literally the plastic is still warm Haha. Frank I have a new design that is working super cool and its super tiny. I will be dissecting and talking about it in the next video I should have up by the end of the weekend. Also I built the coolest tool for thermal setting plastic inserts into your printed parts forby BerryBot3D - General
dseeker that is too funny! Glad to hear you are building a CNC router jerbro it will be your goto machine for every else you build in the future!! Iron Man, I have not but anything together that I can publish yet however that is something I would like to do. Happy Building / Printing! Wernerby BerryBot3D - General
Hi James, How are you doing Buddy? And please you can call me Werner! I have been printing and building every day! I have hundreds of hours of video to go through I have just been having so much fun I haven’t wanted to take the time to put together videos. Here is a list of the shows coming up: The BerryBot3D first 1000 hours The end effector final design working fantastic! 3D printing huge mby BerryBot3D - General
Somebody stop me!! One of my favorite things to do is make tools holders with my printer. And I have been printing a lot of them. My latest masterpiece is a small screwdriver holder for my favorite small screwdrivers (Wiha). The red holder would be nearly impossible to make even with CNC as every hole has a nice draft angle to match the drivers. Sure it could be done but the BerryBot3D did iby BerryBot3D - General
Hi Guys, this is all good! This is still an original idea at least for me… Haha. I had never seen those designs that you mentioned not surprising though, I am glad you shared them with me. Like Jeff was alluding to, I think you will find what I am talking about to be quite different. The total size of mine design is about 1/10 the size and weight of the one you show. Looking at what the otheby BerryBot3D - General
NEW VIDEO ON YOUTUBE Hey Guys I have been playing around with a new extruder design idea I wanted to share with you. Check it out on YouTube and please comment: Happy Building! Wernerby BerryBot3D - General
Hi Guys, I hope everyone is building or printing like I am! I have been having more fun than you can imagine! I made a recent mod to the BerryBotRouter that is super cool. I basically chopped the end of my aluminum T slot table in order to install a ¾” x 12” x 36” steel plate this thing is mucho heavy!! I machined the plate to accept two Glacern premium 6” milling vises and even a 6” Kurt viby BerryBot3D - General
Thanks for the update Parabolic, You can always get them from Magcraft direct although the price it a couple of bucks more per 3 pack. : Happy Building! Wernerby BerryBot3D - General
Hey Guys, The BerryBot3D is coming up on 1000 hours of printing and the machine is in perfect condition with absolutely no sign of looseness or wear. The Makerslides are working perfectly. I have not needed to made any adjustments. The only thing I do every now and again is wipe down the “V” area of the aluminum extrusion and rollers with a little denatured alcohol. There is no doubt that thby BerryBot3D - General
Hi Guys, Sorry I was MIA for a bit, vacation and some major deadlines at work I just didn’t have time to play. I have been busier that a one armed wallpaper hanger! My problem is once I get started talking and thinking about 3D printing stuff I can stop thinking about it! It is hard to get any work done when my mind is designing 3D printer parts. I wanted to thank everybody for all the PM ‘sby BerryBot3D - General
Hi Guys, Yes if you are dimpling it will work I have checked it out! The dimple has such a small contact area that it would allow the arms to go very near vertical without interference. Wernerby BerryBot3D - General
Hi Guys, Looks great Komissar and thanks for the credit! One thing that Frank is suspecting is the lack of rigidity. One of the key components to the BerryBot3D design is what I call the torsion box base. Even with the use of heavier aluminum structure you will be amazed at the amount of twist/movement that can be induced between the upper and lower decks. Frank things are looking great! Yoby BerryBot3D - General
I received the carbon rods that frank had found today: They are very nice and the price is unbelievable!! The rods are super true and very ridged. I think this would an excellent option and very cost effective. It leaves you with about 4-5 thou clearance between the shoulder screw OD and ID of the rod perfect for the film thickness of JB Weld Quick!! You can get 3 pc 13 1/8" out of one stby BerryBot3D - General
Hi Guys, Hi Frank, Glad to hear you got your mags! Yes I use the pound scale for measuring magnetic pull. Good find on the carbon/glass tubes. I ordered some to check them out I will report to you Guys and let you know my findings. I am sure they would work great! After all to use carbon tubes is a huge unnecessary overkill! Rsilvers, I imagine an arrow machine would cut the carbon tubesby BerryBot3D - General
NEW VIDEO!! A NEW WORLD RECORD!! Largest print ever! Also a cool tip on cleaning up your models! Happy Printing!by BerryBot3D - General
Update for the hemispherical magnets! After careful testing and examination I concluded that the hemispherical magnets that Sublime suggested as an option would not work as well as the type used on the BerryBot3D. The magnetic pull of the hemispherical magnet is near the same as the ones I used however the shape is not perfectly hemispherical but a little cone shaped. One other thing is that thby BerryBot3D - General
Hi Frank, Yeah I was talking about the handle on the vise. Clocking meaning that you would bring the handle to the same exact position each time to keep things consistent. This was assuming that you would use a vise. I would go with 1.5” on the shoulder screw, it will give extremely good performance should you ever need to print at 1000mm haha. Drilling the small hole is not a problem justby BerryBot3D - General
Hi Frank, My carbon rods are 3/8" OD 1/4" ID something like: . I would pay close attention to the handle clock position of your vise. So that you can make a repeatable dimple formation for all of them. One other important tip is to drill a very small hole in the center of your tubes so that air can escape and equalize as you JB weld your screws in the ends. Also the shoulder screws I used hadby BerryBot3D - General
