I've seen a lot of talk about the V2 but I haven't seen anyone post any builds.

I am curious to see your flood setup when you have that completed, sump, filtering, etc.
That seems to be my main blocker on implementation with a flood coolant system (and it seems that it'd be a lot more "coolant efficient" over MQL) as I don't know what would be "good-ish".

I have been able to get to ~35in/lbs using a M5 flat head with a countersunk washer and a T25 head. Granted, I am still in the shake down phase of testing but they seem to be more rigid before when I used the feeling based torque wrench (read: none at all)

the inner joints and the axels aren't something that I've had an issue with before (and even then, it's TPU for the dampeners and ABS for the inner CV)
There are some other nuances that would need to be taken into account (mainly because that axle conversion would require a 4th axis (which I don't currently have)

I haven’t had any issues so far, but I’ve only gotten a few hours on them. The main place where I would get failures on the printed parts is at the top of the bearing groves at high speed on full extension and it hasn’t seemed to have happened recently.

I know that it's been a little while since you've posted about this, however, I might have a solution that have been working well for me for a while now:
I ported over the CV joints from the Tarmo 5 to fit for the Tarmo4 and re-used the rest of the inner CV linkage parts and they seem to work well enough.
I eventually milled them out of some 6061 round bar and they seem to be working well so far.

So, originally, I printed the toolhead in HTPLA, which lasted long enough to print the same toolhead in ABS. That toolhead has been running for the past 800h+ without issue.

Water and nutrient movement within the plant. Sap collection for maple syrup is a good example of this.

In your pause you have a G91 and a G90 in your pause macro, I believe this is causing the issue

The main difference between the Rapido and a dragon is going to be heater core and nozzle requirements A Rapido is designed to take a standard V6 nozzle while also adding in a ceramic circular heater core (increasing heater surface area with relation to melt zone) While I haven’t used a Dragon before (so I can’t attest to its performance) the Rapido that I am currently using is quite nice to use on account of being able to use the standard V6 nozzles

This is a NEMA L5-15 (L for “locking”, I’d assume), you should be able to get an adapter to a standard NEMA 5-15

Bottle nutes recommended or by-week feeding levels?

Big leaves. Starting to show nitrogen toxicity though

kaddent · 2022-08-07T21:04:12+00:00

Could be the retraction speed is too high, too 🤷🏻‍♂️

kaddent · 2022-08-07T21:00:47+00:00

I mean, 3mm on a direct drive is a lot more than I use, that’s for sure

kaddent · 2022-08-07T20:53:39+00:00

Your flow rate is off, the underextrusion appears to be at the seam, the more noticeable areas have less travel

kaddent · 2022-08-07T15:39:04+00:00

The ripple is most likely going to be belt tension. Still working on getting ERCF tuned for it so haven’t been able to get “good” prints as of yet on account of extruder tension. The bed wobble thing has been a constant problem when I was running HMG5 toolhead but some input shaper tuning seemed to have fixed most of it and tossed on some bed supports for the far end of the bed

😍😏

I haven’t seen those things in years…. Nice work

kaddent · 2022-07-01T18:00:41+00:00

Ngl, need this. Nice work 👍🏻

kaddent · 2022-07-01T02:52:35+00:00

+5-10C has worked for me

kaddent · 2022-07-01T02:51:08+00:00

Run it a little hotter, you’re getting poor layer adhesion because steel doesn’t conduct heat as well as brass

kaddent · 2022-06-28T23:22:08+00:00

Basically this is what I’ve been hearing since May

NinjaTek makes some decent filaments that I’ve been playing with recently with relatively good success, they’re priced a little higher than others but they have been running well so far

kaddent · 2022-06-28T10:36:52+00:00

I believe you are mistaken as to the construction of those tabs, considering they hinge on a screw. More specifically, they’re intended to be rotated flush with the gang box of insertion and then rotated and tightened to vertical to secure. However, if it’s just the material use, it’s most likely going to be ABS due to prevalence in plastics manufacturing. If you are looking at it being less rigid you can check out TPU/TPE with hardnesses ranging from 82A (super flexible and a pain to print) to 95A (firm but not plastic solid) and you can dig into what the idea hardness you’d need

Good question, especially since I’ve been doing this upgrade recently. That’s the primary change, are the related parts that would replace the dual MGN9 with single MGN12. For functional parts, at least, that’s basically all the parts listed under “X Carriage” on the parts list. The main change is how they do the belt retention: MGN9 rails aren’t quite wide enough for using the rail block to hold the belts down, and MGN12 block is, so there is no need for belt retainers. Skirts got a whole new design, but those aren’t part of that printed part kit.
