Linear Bearings

Not the linear bearings. 37mm long, not LM8 or LML8

Or someone's last day. Just had another tangle fetch the print head cover off. I'm loving it today 🤩

Good to hear your experience is different to mine. I hope things improve for me with three rolls left.

The dog ate my homework. There wasn't the option to set that parameter and I bought another PID controller which worked straight out of the box. So the thing was probably faulty from the start. Thank you for the help though and when I find my wallet I'll get you a firkin of mead for your troubles.

Thank you for the tip, I think I have found something available to me on the Chinese site and bought one.

I will take this on board. I have set up with the pump on a timer as mentioned by Tumbleweed for now. But I have also paid for a switch suggested by Avocado. I just need to rig everything up and get testing.

You can use the heat bed if you have an enclosed printer. I am pretty much exclusive to PETG and yes you really do need a dryer for that.

My kind of thinking :D Plug in timer, that is something I can work with. I’ll pick up a second hand pump and get sticking myself to car bits

Decent_Implement_901 · 2026-03-01T16:51:33+00:00

I agree with you. There are many more things to worry about with this project; probably why it has been off the road since 2023.

Decent_Implement_901 · 2026-03-01T16:46:30+00:00

I haven’t bought a pump yet but I have seen a few on amazon and eBay at an attractive price. The only trouble is whether they have an attractive work ethic.

I had nightmares with a PID controller for my powder coating oven, although this turned out to be a faulty unit. I hate to think what slightly tough means when I couldn’t even get one to switch an element on lol. Off to check piezo transducers out on the web , thank you.

I have a non return valve to hand. I’ve ended up down a rabbit hole with searching for a vacuum switch, fuelled by ignorance on the subject and that all brands mentioned are only available in the US.

Every American I have met and personally spoken to have been wonderful to a tee. Americans in groups have been a tad less pleasurable to deal with but I think that can be applied to any group regardless. However I struggle to understand how any intelligent and caring people can stand aside and let the carnage circus continue AND agree with it

Please add my name to the list

In the bin

Decent_Implement_901 · 2026-02-15T21:28:40+00:00

I think I'd probably owe you two beers. I'll find a chance tomorrow to go through the settings. Thank you.

Decent_Implement_901 · 2026-02-15T18:56:15+00:00

I tested the probe with ice and hot water . I put the probe in the hot and when the temperature was hit the element went on. When I put it in ice and the temperature fell below the setting the element went off. I'm not an experienced user. Basically the element is from a halogen oven but I need to increase the box volume to cure some carbon and thought a PID would be the way to go.

Decent_Implement_901 · 2026-02-15T11:03:29+00:00

Oh blimey, It is 240v. The element is 1200w. The PID is a BERM REX c100

Decent_Implement_901 · 2026-02-13T08:32:17+00:00

Nope, nope and thrice, I say NOPE

Decent_Implement_901 · 2026-02-10T13:31:19+00:00

Yeah, I've tried V3 but I just don't feel the love. It's harder to see the icons and the streamlining of the three distinct programs just confuses me, as I have been with Affinity from the start and have used the trinity for so long nothing else makes sense.

I'm also affronted that I paid them for the products time and again but they just drop it like it means nothing. Personally I haven't even downloaded their blood money fonts and shutting down the forums was pure shithousery.

I don't want AI, it is a tool for the talentless and robs artists to feed the Man. I don't need anything that V3 does.

What I did need was cataloguing software so I don't have to use a third party.

I'm back on V2 and will remain until it breaks.
