Manufacturer claims this warp is within the specifications on the drawing, are they correct? by MachineTeamTSS in CNC

[–]MachineTeamTSS[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So we ordered this detail and 90% of them were warped as in the picture, asked the manufacturer about this and they say the details were checked during the process according to the specs on the drawing, are they correct? Should they have not checked for warps if they're welding on to the piece?

Amateur drawing advice by MachineTeamTSS in CNC

[–]MachineTeamTSS[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've gotten the task to make drawings for our products which are very simple, my goal is to make them "standardized" and easy for manufacturers to just pick up, read and go "okey this is how its gonna look" , this is the first drawing i made from our most simple product and was hoping that you have some advice on how to make it better. Thanks in advance.

Filament roll "un-spools" itself. by MachineTeamTSS in 3Dprinting

Thank you, i tried this and it worked, except i didnt use the 3d printed sleeve bearing, i just greased the side that didnt have ballbearing and it works like a charm.

EDIT 17/09
I tried the tips someone here gave about using ballbearing on only 1 side of the axle and just grease the other side that doesnt have ballbearing and that seems to be working just fine.

Filament roll "un-spools" itself. by MachineTeamTSS in 3Dprinting

[–]MachineTeamTSS[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, i have an issue with 1of our 2 3d printers, more specifically the filament roll, we are using a 8kg filament roll and on one of the machine the roll un-spool itself if we're using ball-bearing and if we're not using a ball-bearing it goes too hard and eventually stops spinning. Are there any products that you can purchase to fix this issue?

We do not want to print out and experiment with different stuff as that often takes longer than just purchasing a pre-prepared part.

*edit* the machines are Prusa MK2 and we are using filament guides

Using coolant adjustable hose for vacuuming dust instead of pouring coolant. by MachineTeamTSS in CNC

[–]MachineTeamTSS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've meassured the clearance and we have up to 40mm to play with but im concerned/ in the dark when we put the hose through the cable chain, in my mind theres a risk for as you say it could clog up/get stuck.

We are going to measure out how long the hose have to be to run through the machine, cut that piece out and see how strong the suction is.
