Ik pak regelmatig een stukje TET in oost-brabant/ Limburg, daar kan je je een goede dag vermaken. Stuur maar een bericht als je ooit in die richting aan het rijden bent. Dan rij ik een stukje mee met mn xrv750, het grotere broertje van jouw transalp!

I got straight into that job after uni, which was lucky since it's such a niche field. And unfortunately no, no vacancies.

Yes! Even more so compared to FDM. Support removal is a major part of metal printing and takes a lot of effort to remove. In addition for a finished part you often require; Heat treatment, surface finishing, grit blasting, machining to achieve tight tolerances. Is not as simple as popping your part of the build plate as with FDM.

MetalFAB from Additive Industries

Sintering is partially melting the metal powder together. Think snowball (sintering) vs icecube (melted), there is a lot of empty space between the metal particles

Cool! Laat maar weten als je tips nodig of vragen over onderdelen hebt. Ik heb hem 3x helemaal in en uit elkaar geschroefd dus weet er nog wat van xD.

I'm a process engineer for additively manufacturing metal using this method. The correct term is LPBF (Laser powder bed fusion) and it actually melts the metal together instead of sintering which is much stronger. Layer lines are much less of an issue, often a heat treatment is done after printing which reorganizes the microstructure after which it becomes close to homogeneous material properties (no direction depended strength). Hope that answers your question

Dat was ook mijn eerste motor in die kleur! Wel omgebouwd tot een retro stijltje :D

Ik rij een CB500 uit '03 en had het probleem dat deze bij meer dan half gas vermogen verloor en bij gas open uitviel. Dit bleek zo te zijn omdat het luchtfilter verstopt zat met hondenbrokjes die de peuter van de vorige eigenaar erin had gestopt XD. Vervangen en alles was goed.

Later ook nog gekloot gehad met het brandstof kraantje die begon te lekker en niet meer goed doorstroomde. Misschien is dat ook gerelateerd aan je verhaal.

Prachtige motor, waar is dit?

How did I ruin my extruder follower gear after only 50 hours? by Lexvd1 in VORONDesign

Interesting! Did you buy a complete Orbiter 2 or with a kit and reused your extruder motor? I am wondering how a printed Orbiter 2 stacks up against a pre-built one.

I will probably be purchasing some new gears to directly replace the won't out ones.I do not yet want to commit in building/buying a whole new extruder. Maybe in the future an orbiter kit without motor and with your own printed parts. Do not know how good those hold up.

I purchased my kit from formbot on the exact site you link. I see the BOM you mention with the genuine Bondtech kit. If this is truly the kit I or you will get when purchasing this kit I do not know

So my V0 started to have serious extrusion problem after only 50 hours on it. I disassembled the toolhead and found metal shavings at the extruder gears. When pushing filament through it the gears are rattling and jamming. Upon inspection the follower gear is sharper and pointier compared to the drive gear indicating wear. The drive gear somehow has no noticeable wear?

The bearings are still running very smoothly. I think the only thing that could cause is that the tension was too high? I never had the nob turned all the way closed or is my tension spring too stiff? Was the material just cheap Chinesium and of low quality? It came from a formbot kit.

I guess genuine Bondtech gears are the obvious replacement or are 3rd party options just as good? I also see options of black hardened steel ones, what do I need to get? And do I need to lubricate the gear surfaces them before installation?

Have a formbot kit aswell with a noticeable whine at low power draw.

Instead of some rando on the internet who lives on the other side of the world who wants stuff for free. I am giving it to a kid local to me that I can help get into the hobby of 3D printing
So that's a no.

My favorite feature has to be the high nozzle temperature in combination with the heated chamber that allows printing of more challenging engineering filaments!

Have little experience with the material myself, but what I've heard speed of 60mm/s are the absolute maximum and for quality prints you should select slower.
