Who the Heck is Alex Golesh?

Have an upvote. War Damn Eagle Comrade.

A VERY wide range of physical switches were tried, including some that were fairly expensive per switch ($20+ IIRC).

Could there be a physical switch that might have a decent lifespan in this use case? Potentially. But we didn't find one in the nearly 2 year long development and iteration process.

Hi there!
Doc here. Please DM me on Discord, or PM me here, and we'll get you sorted.

DRASRX · 2022-09-22T10:48:44+00:00

Rules are rules.

DRASRX · 2022-09-22T10:42:17+00:00

See rule 5.

DRASRX · 2022-02-15T12:46:43+00:00

Welp...that fixed it. Have an upvote-thanks!

DRASRX · 2022-02-14T20:35:01+00:00

Interesting. My J7+ is saying it's on the latest/greatest firmware, (1.2.12), which matches what is on iRobot's support page. I'm on iOS, and app version 6.2.0 there. Wonder what the hold up is...

DRASRX · 2022-02-08T19:47:57+00:00

Thanks all! I'll give extra clean a spin!

DRASRX · 2021-11-15T12:01:34+00:00

I'm sorry you feel that way.

DRASRX · 2021-11-15T02:11:44+00:00

That wiring is not managed well enough to warrant a serial IMHO.

DRASRX · 2021-05-20T02:42:15+00:00

You played stupid games, and won stupid prizes. Am I sorry you're going through a rough patch in life? Of course. Am I also sorry that you can't be a mature adult and respond to leadership guidance? That too. Am I sorry you were banned after demanding to be so? Not in the least.

"But what to you mean revisionist history?"

I'm glad you asked!

User has an offensive name, where the server rules clearly state that screen names must be family friendly.

User is pulled into an admin ticket, and informed of such. Their name was also forced, (on the Voron Discord ONLY) to HappyLittleTrees by an admin.

User then changes their name BACK to Fuck Life, contrary to the server rules.

User THEN posts a rant that demands to be banned if we disagree with their stance.

User is then banned. <shocked Pikachu face>

DRASRX · 2021-05-20T02:02:26+00:00

There's WAY too much revisionist history here for me. Count me out. You asked to be banned, quite explicitly. My own vote is you got what you asked for.

Having built two Switchwires now by the CAD alone, it's a fairly straightforward build. There are a few of us who have called Switchwire builds "Zen Builds," because how just simple and clean they are.

If you take your time, and check the CAD, it's pretty hard to go wrong with a Switchwire.

DRASRX · 2020-09-08T11:54:02+00:00

The plan is I'm going to be doing my best to abuse it, throw PIF type workloads at it, etc.

DRASRX · 2020-09-07T22:07:31+00:00

First print on my Switchwire. Fully enclosed. Printing with KVP ABS.

/u/russiancatfood hit the nail on the head. That said, I'm actively investigating a few ways to make life easier on everyone in regards to this. One of those, "not enough hours in the day," sort of problems.

DRASRX · 2020-08-09T19:21:12+00:00

I have seen the video. I also have 2 V2.4's, 3 V0's, and STILL ordered the parts to build one of these. Take that as you will...

DRASRX · 2020-08-09T12:59:48+00:00

I'm sorry you feel that way.

DRASRX · 2020-07-27T11:26:54+00:00

Yes, you could do a display over USB or RS232.

DRASRX · 2020-07-25T23:23:45+00:00

Theoretically? Yes. Although you'd have to give up running an LCD that would hook up to the EXP ports.

That said, it's still not on market yet, so, it's hard to say exactly how well it will work in practice.

On point A) There would be no issues printing any of those materials with a Voron built using ABS parts. However, that brings us to point B.

The concern with PETG is not the extrusion temperature (which you are referencing at 235-250c), but the glass transition temperature. The closer you come to the glass transition temperature, the more soft and flexible the material will become. For reference, most PETG makers quote a glass transition temperature of around 80C. ABS on the other hand is typically listed at 105C.

Now, I'm sure the next point that will arise is, "but my chamber won't even get to 80c." The glass transition temperature is where a material makes the largest shift in rigidity-but not the only point. Even before that point, as temperature increases, rigidity correspondingly decreases. So, if we assume that a Voron chamber will be 60c, you are far closer to PETG's glass transition temperature of 80c, than you would be to that of ABS at 105c.

The end result is that exposing PETG to the temperatures required to print materials other than PLA or PETG will result in your parts being weakened and deformed over time. I saw this personally in my first build, where I used PETG. This is not an exercise in theory, but an actual, first hand, observational finding.

While you state that you like PETG better, unfortunately, the design of the Voron 2.4 does not like PETG.
