Your Biggest Fan
Log from Taz 5 BTT SKR 3 Refit
In an effort to get everything to as native a voltage as possible, I planned to swap out the fans on the extruder to run at 24 volts, and therefor simplify my life. Well, that's exactly what I did.Here is where I started, the extruder is already heavily...

A Heated Bed
Log from The Long D
I've found that I sometimes need to print very long objects in my 3D printer. The usual way of printing objects that are big in one dimension is to use a delta printer; there's pretty much infinitely extendable in the z direction. This is not the ideal...

Luggable PC at Hackaday LA January Meetup
Log from Luggable PC
The Luggable PC project had its first public outing yesterday: I brought Easel Frame V3 to Hackaday LA January Meetup. It was pretty much as documented earlier except it had the Mini-ITX board installed instead of the full ATX motherboard. (Their GPU...

Experiments with Silicone Molds
Log from Modular Continuous Track System
The design has come to the point where 3d printing treads was no longer practical. For starters I have been printing parts out of ABS plastic, which is quite a bit different from the production material. I plan for the treads to be made from a rigid...

Second Gear Box Done.
Log from Remote Control Land Strider
Ever wake up at 2AM and not been able to get back to sleep? Well, I did, and I figured I might as well make the best of it so I started printing the last two gears. Result is that part is done and over with. Had some problems keeping the two bearings...

First Frame Design
Log from CNC Plasma Table
When I first started this project I wanted to keep the build as cheap as possible. So I started to reach for anything that was already at my disposal. This meant using steel square tubing on hand and printer parts. The x axis was an industrial printer...

Experimenting with Different Seals
Log from Water Resistant 3D Printed Enclosures
The original seal used 6mm diameter silicone aquarium tubing. It would keep the box water-free for up to 10 minutes fully submerged. But tests of 1-2 hours would see a little bit of water eventually make it in. Then the tubing was replaced by 3M...

#00 Coin Envelopes
Log from Parts Boxes
Some times organization doesn't need to be fancy 3D printing. It turns out that the #00 Coin Envelope ( approximately 1 11/16" x 2 3/4" or 42mm x 70mm) is the perfect size to fit inside the Raaco Handybox inserts. Perfect for parts with lots of...

[R] Ease Of Use
Log from SecSavr Sol^2 [gd0045]
The comments on this article here is a useful read for what could be done to make 3D printers easier to use. I'd like to imagine what could be done on the slicer side of things. The most notable points are the debug process of the printer itself...

3Ding the PCBing
Log from Commodore CHESSmate Reproduction
I spent the day going over my PCB design, and am beginning to feel more confident about it. As part of this exercise I played around with KiCad's 3D modelling feature. I have to say I'm very impressed. The KiCad library of generic 3D parts it pretty...

Good Printers make Good Buttons
Log from Clunke Button
- or at least they make any buttons at all. My Printrbot (pictured above) has not had an easy life. Almost from the day it arrived as a kit, I've been ricing (in vain) to achieve lofty goals like queue based 24/7 printing. And in response it has spent...

Build
Log from X printer V2
The build of the printer is almost finished, only the print plate is missing. Some problems occurred during the build:The ball bearings for the joints of the scissor-lift were chosen much too fragile, so they had to be replaced. As a result the entire...
