Re: Two Community Events - We the Rosies & ERRF

Event was very cool! Met Tim and Vicky and saw a lot of interesting things. I think the "E-nable" booth intrigued me the most as it is something I can do with my printer that actually matters. http://enablingthefuture.org/

Re: PETG Perimeter Separation

I switched my hot end to print the custom filament drive in PETG After setting the start height and finding what I thought was the perfect Extrude multiplier I printed the first half of a custom filament housing. No delamination but on examination with loop I think I could bump EM up from .91 to .92...

Re: M2 nightmare with soft filiment

A printed sleeve is going to be very difficult to make precise enough to get a good press fit. You also don't want to introduce ANY diameter variations that will make it feed unevenly. It might work OK for soft filament, but if you want it to work with more rigid material, I suspect it may wear qui...

Re: PETG Perimeter Separation

I know this post is old, but I'm curious if a solution was ever found? I'm having the same exact issue. I'm printing parts to build a D-bot so I want to have everything print as high quality as possible. I'm using PETG and I've upped my Infill Overlap from 10 to 15 and then to 18 and its still givi...

Re: M2 nightmare with soft filiment

I have a dead housing with the factory bearing in it. It looks like there is about 3/4 of a mm clearance of each side (~ 17.5 mm ID). So, you could make the OD of the sleeve 17 mm, and the bottom of the groove 16 mm (1/2 mm deep). You might have to shave down the OD a tiny bit from that to fit in a...

Re: M2 nightmare with soft filiment

Also, it's only going to be ~ 1 mm thick at the bottom of the groove. The rest of it will be at least a half a mm thicker. If the original bearing has a Diameter of 16mm and this replacement is 14mm, then 1mm thickness band all the way around the bearing will make the diameter 16mm, right? Which le...

Re: M2 nightmare with soft filiment

I just measured it a little while ago and yes, I see that it is all over the place and I did see your mod last night and was planning on checking my little box of springs. That is something can do with out much effort and it makes a lot of sense! I would love to try and mimic Dave design in the ima...
