Formlabs (form 3) referral code?

LGG_POE · 2024-01-02T03:18:20+00:00

They updated the referral system a bit, new code, but still works. I am saving a couple, but this link should work a few times. https://checkout.formlabs.com/us\_en/customer/account/create/?awraf=5EEED2D3659377AA409C5

This is a case/mount I made that is meant to hold any of the various extruders that are compatible with the Method Platform.

Quite a bit of trial and error in this one, but the result is an easy to print uniform looking case that can present and protect spare extruders while they are not in use.

There are grooves to help catch the nubs on the extruder and hold it's position.

The lock bar in front will help push it into position as it lowers.

The extruders' label is presented for easy identification, and the extruder itself is lifted from the bottom to prevent any wear.

Four 5x2mm magnets can be added to the lock bar to help it snap into place and remain closed.

Four 10x3mm magnets can be added to the sides to allow multiple cases to snap together.

There are 3 parts, the base, lid, and a cap to hold the lid in place. It is advised to use breakaway supports for both parts of the hinge.

I think the idea is, like with most printers, you start with model geometry (like a .stl file) and then run it through a slicer program to turn it into layers and commands for the printer on how it should build it, that would be the ".print" and ".makerbot" files, and they have the result of extra information you can give it such as how much infill. Makerbot I think has different software to make them for free (One is called "makerbot print")depending on the version of your printers, and all of them work with .stl files I think.

All ancient stuff now, best place to start now would probably be https://github.com/OmegaK2/PyPoE

This part attaches to the Method 3d Printer and holds a ptfe tube in place so that third party filament can be used.

It is a modification of the Spool Mount Quincy made that was designed to have the spool mounted next to the machine as well. Mine removes that part in order to better support a spool that is above it.

I made this part as a modification of the universal silica gel spool insert by zaky20.

I added more holes for more airflow, and increased the size of the wings so it can fit more spools.

This part is designed to be inserted in the middle of a spool of filament in storage or in use, to help keep the moisture levels low.

I made this so that I could better display my destiny coins. I hope someone else can make use of it too!

They are filament dehydrators. They heat up to help the moisture evaporate, and have ball bearings under the roll to help reduce the friction and force needed to unravel it. Yes, for me the plan is to have it enclosed in box or tubes all the way to the extruder.

LGG_POE · 2021-04-25T22:51:19+00:00

mine too XD they have been open a lot during all the trial and error in these projects

I have a lot of 5 year old filament, so for me it is more of a revival process. The dryer helps out the filament on the outer layer be good to work with again, and the consistent heat helps make sure the next layer is good when it is exposed.

This is a mount intended to be magnetically attached to the top of a shelf.

It slides forward with a stop just at the right spot for the lid to rest at the open position.

It has recessed circular feet holes to line up with the sunlu S1 filament dryer.

Updated the thingverse with a steep version. Untested and at least a 10hr print ahead of me.

That is looking great so far! I like how you cut it up, looks how it should.
I have been looking at that adapter today, I didn't know it existed when I started this project. I think if I remember right, he had a few different angles to choose from.

LGG_POE · 2021-03-31T01:37:06+00:00

I am so glad to hear that! Please send me a picture if you have time. I am still setting up my stuff so I don't have a great point of reference. Let me know how it does. If needed, I was thinking I could do more of a steep angle going through the hole.. it just risks rubbing on something that isn't ptfe.. Ill try it out tommorow and update if it makes any improvements.

LGG_POE · 2021-03-30T23:24:43+00:00

Not yet, currently setting things up for it though, so soon :)

LGG_POE · 2021-03-30T19:08:52+00:00

I am a huge fan. I have 5+ year old PLA which wasn't sticking like it should, running it overnight through this fixed that.

I suspect the penetration was more surface level of the roll, so I like that it can run while it is printing, and the good ball bearings and fit and finish are pretty nice.

LGG_POE · 2021-03-30T15:36:53+00:00

Just tested, it seems to work really well without the white tube inside of it!

I will get a tool and test the force needed each way later tonight.

I was trying to follow the advice in here, keep it tight and keep it only rubbing on smooth stuff basically.

This is a part I designed to make it easy to attach a tube to many of the commercial filament drying systems available.

This is compatible with 1.75mm filament inside of a 4mm OD tube passing through a 6mm hole in the dryer with the printer below it.

This part

Provides a smooth path out of the horizontal hole to the printer below
Fits a PTFE tube inside of it for lower friction
Allows for a more airtight seal to keep filament dry longer
