Berdair MOSFET board - 5 months ago

MOSFET boards are nothing new. What I never did find was a board that fit on the back of the 555 motor of the pump I have a small PWM signal generator to help figure out the best PWM frequency for the motors. Found my 24v likes 20hz, while the 12 prefers 30-40hz. Outside the ranges it would stumble or make horrible high pitched whines. Video of testing the 12v Berdair pump As for the board

Re: My custom watercooling setup - 5 months ago

Yeah, even tapping the stuff is pain. But I was able to make both M3 and m5 threads into the model and both came out well enough that all I needed to do was clean the threads with a tap. Trying to tap with a bare hole was absolute pain and no matter how careful or use of tapping fluid you would snap taps on it. Also, the heatsink insert I made on a lathe I 3d printed. I originally bought a tiny

Re: My custom watercooling setup - 5 months ago

also, the main reason for monitoring water flow is to regulate the flow of the pump to a set flow rate. also if there is a sudden drop in flow that means there is a leak in the system and should trigger a failsafe to shut the system off.

Re: My custom watercooling setup - 5 months ago

That is exactly what mine is, I took a m6 stand-off and machined it down to only 10mm wide fins with the waterjacket over it. The entire thing is only 20mm tall on the cooler, which is the smallest I can make it with a standard Mk8 throat and Bowden coupler. It’s hard to see scale without context but that Maxiwatt heater is only 20mm diameter so it is very small.

My custom watercooling setup - 5 months ago

I’ve been working on a water cooled hotend for my printer for a number of years now. Since about mid 2018. Back then options where limited and I opted for full custom setups of everything. Right now I’m running a custom made watercooled hotend, stainless steel water jacket printed by JLC PCB for me over a heatsink I cut on a lathe I designed and printed. Cooling is done via a coil cooler that is

optical tach through a printed housing? - 5 months ago

I have a project im working on, a water cooling system for my printer. been building this up over several years now. I keep trying to compact the system down more and more. Currently I am trying to integrate a flow meter into a printed housing. Due to size it will have to be custom made and was considering having the main housing being printed in clear resin and bouncing the optical tach off th

Re: Life span of plastic parts? - 12 months ago

pretty good. i always follow through holes with proper sized drillbits and there wasnt much they took off.

Re: Life span of plastic parts? - 1 year ago

it really boils down to what you plan to do with the printer. Ive seen PLA motor mounts melt from the heat of the motors. Ive even seen some of my ABS parts soften enough for the screws on them to compress the plastic down a bit. If you plan to enclose the printer for high temps youll want to look into high temp materials. Polycarbonate, or metal. PCB Way offers some metal printing as does JLC PC

Re: A Very Different Extruder - 1 year ago

I may have to give this a go at some point. With how my custom printer is set up I’m pretty sure I can fit one of those over my custom water cooling setup for a nice light direct drive system.

Re: A Very Different Extruder - 1 year ago

very cool to see how this design has progressed. Hope to see it continue to compact down, and hopefully not get stolen by anyone. Keep up the great work

Re: Precision Piezo Z-probe Now available. - 5 years ago

Got my sensors and already got one in my current prototype carriage for my CoreXY build. Now I just need to figure out how to mount the PCB and a few other bits and get the rest of this thing built!

Re: Precision Piezo Z-probe Now available. - 5 years ago

Awesome, sounds simple enough. Now to redesign the thing once I get parts in hand

Re: Precision Piezo Z-probe Now available. - 5 years ago

Is it possible to have the sensor work in reverse? As in, activate when pressure is released? I'm sure there was a firmware setting but just seeing if anyone has tried this. Earlier I cam to realize a design flaw in my mount where the drive cable of my Zesty Nimble Sidewinder (working title) may give false readings when it nears the stepper driver and the cable tries to push out.

I don't have a duet sticker sadly but I will print the logo out, just need to do the same for the Zesty and find a duet one

Re: Precision Piezo Z-probe Now available. - 5 years ago

ive got my parts printing, now i just need some of your gear to make it all work. just ordered 2 universal kits from your site. Will need to add your logo to teh placard i plan to make for my machine to show all the fancy new tech it has on it

Re: Precision Piezo Z-probe Now available. - 5 years ago

QuoteDjDemonD QuoteOutcastZeroOne also, can anyone give me accurate dimensions of the 20mm piezo disk's so that i can make a propper sized recess in my design? Murata 7BB-20-6 diameter 20.00mm thickness 0.41mm (excluding solder) thickness 0.95mm with solder interesting.... the spec sheet lists it as much thinner... good thing i asked

Re: Precision Piezo Z-probe Now available. - 5 years ago

im not using a titan, I'm using a Zesty Nimble Sidewinder (working title) thanks DjDemon, i was planning to do those sugestions, just wanted to get eh basic concept down to help explain what i was thinking. Any idea when the DIY kits will be back in stock? are they the 7bb-20-3 or 7bb-20-6? i found spec sheets listing the sizes but there are a few variations with different thicknesses

Re: Precision Piezo Z-probe Now available. - 5 years ago

so, here is my basic idea for the mount on my set up. pardon the crudeness of the design as this is just a concept i drew up in about 5 min to get the idea viewable. The piezo would be mounted the same distance from the pivot point as the center of the hotends shaft, so a 1/1 ratio of force being transfered by the lever.

Re: Precision Piezo Z-probe Now available. - 5 years ago

ill see if i can draw up a model of my idea and get your expert opnion on it

Re: Precision Piezo Z-probe Now available. - 5 years ago

So I am thinking of doing a vertical mount of the piezo on my custom CoreXY and mount my Nimble and hotend on a bolt on bracket that will pivot at the base of it. Would it be reasonable to use a dot of silicone on the back of piezo to help secure it?

Re: Precision Piezo Z-probe Now available. - 5 years ago

I'm going to have to keep an eye on this. I really like the concept of this and hope to incorporate it into my machines and a custom CoreXY I am designing. I'll have to read this thread in more detail, 23 pages is a bit much for my lunch break

Re: mounting bushings with o-rings? - 5 years ago

the issue though is that with a printed part there is chance of things not being 100% lined up. the use of the o-rings is to help compensate for that. also i made a test peice and it seemed to work smoothly for what i entend to do

mounting bushings with o-rings? - 5 years ago

as the title says, using rubber o-rings (such as #11 or #10 like used for propellers on RC craft) to mount bushings to help them auto align. I know that the cavity the bushing would go into would need to have a grove to help secure the o-rings in place. Just wondering if anyone has tried this in the past and if it was effective at all.

Re: Building a custom CoreXY - 6 years ago

wow, for what is to be a build log, this has seemed to have turned into a bash rant. 1. Wood is strong, I work with wood all the time. Having been in the car stereo industry for the past 11+ years I work with wood all the time to build rock solid sub boxes from MDF to birch ply depending on the application. If you think otherwise then you either dont have much wood working skill or have only use

Re: GT2560 help - 6 years ago

turns out I had put something in the library folder that was messing everything up. got it all sorted with latest version of IDE and uploaded to the board. now all i have to do is install this in my machine, change out all the plug ends on all the wires, and I do mean ALL OF THEM, config it, and hope it all works! Thanks for all the help Dust!

Re: GT2560 help - 6 years ago

heres the github link for the firmware: only thing I have changed from whats in it is the motherboard to Ultimaker as it is spelled in the list. I also do have the Mini Rambo add on in Arduino but I am not flashing a Mini Rambo, im trying to compile for the GT2560.
