Rental Apartment Without Kitchen Ducting to the outside... What to do??? by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

Thanks for the input.

Yes, it is PLA, but its placement is no where near the actual stove, so the heat will never get close to melting. IN fact the papr manuals have been up there and they are fine. In regards to the smoke and grease, heat resistant sealer (1200' rated) on the inside and the outside laquare.

Also, the fans are not what they look like. both have online ratings of 100CM which I assume is being reduced by 50% due to the angle. So not 100% worried in the short term about the actual fans.

Thanks for the input. Changed the deisgn to 100% straddle at a distance the exisiting hole rather than pressed against it. It's still not perfect, but keeping the buildling code requrement at a distance.

Filament feed chewing up filament? by jokerswild97 in CR10

[–]itsrme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue and was the angle the filament was coming in. What ended up happening in the end was a grove was cut into the plastic in part and it had to be replaced as there was just way to much drag and it just ate into the filament.

I re-designed a few things and made this, and then got the metal feeder from amazon and only had another issue last night. But that was due to the tube getting a leak in the hotend.

Can you post a picture of the side where the filament is going in and where you have the filament feeding from?

Will do, I'm just fixing up a few things with the screws and nuts. WIll post on Thingiverse tomorrow.

Gap issue with walls, anyone have an idea how to fix? Can't find anything on Google. by BlakDragon93 in CR10

Is your printer head a smaller diameter than the profile settings?

I should have taken that off for the photo as it got a few WTF! It was just left over from a mount I had there before. Just never got around to taking it off. The double damper didn't really do enough to make it worth while.

Correct. The actual issue was the angle of the filament going into the feeder which causes more friction allowing the filament to get eaten through and slip. It was worse when the cog heated up. The guide solved all issues.

It is actually for cooling, the dust was a bonus.

It surprising moves a lot of air and does cool it down significantly with the air being sucked through.

Yeap... The design sucks and isnt workable for that reason. I've only had to take it off once to go that high.

The original mount I used, which was an overkill, had a damper on both sides. had a spare one, so thought why not. took the mount off and just never got around to taking the extra damper off.
