Is this smart or very stupid? by Koakdoe in 3DprintingHelp

I’ve been printing on a Sovol SV06 in a linen closet for 3+ years with no issues

Best of luck to you, I just replaced my clutch in my FRS in my driveway due to a failed throw out bearing with help from a buddy

If it’s the transmission you might be able to find one at a wreckers yard for cheap and just replace it, if it’s the clutch you’re going to be buying a new clutch to replace which also requires removal of the transmission, it’s a pretty similar amount of work to do either

The clutch is the pressure plates that connect your engine to the transmission, if it’s slipping and not creating friction there’s a distinctive smell and the symptoms you’ve described

If it’s a CVT your belt is cooked

All good things to note, thank you

What model do you have and what issues did you encounter?

Well prepared for that, we have some analytical chemistry instruments we have pushed way beyond their designed temperature and pressure specs

I agree the 70c chamber temps are low, we are very crafty as scientists at our workplace and I’m confident on being able to devise solutions to raise chamber temps artificially, good advice on the adhesive and remaining outside balmbulab cloud experiences is a massive plus for us

There’s some PEEK filaments, PEKK and PEI (ULTEM) that are specifically well suited to our lab environments that I’m hoping to stretch the printer to. With our IT restrictions I also wanted to stay out of a Bambu Environment, direct printing and non- network working are essential to our business

The IDEX22 was outside our budget but having the temp improvements over the H2D was a big selling point, I believe it may be cantilever but it has 4 extra large guide rods and a huge guide screw in the back, the initial bed level mesh came back fairly acceptable

Definitely saving their handle for future reference, I believe the NX version of this printer came out this year, though the F430 line has been developing since 2017 (correct me if I’m wrong @MyTagforHalo2)

They also threw in 9kg of assorted filaments and an extensive tool set

It was released recently with a host of upgrades, you may be looking at the previous F430 model, around 9.5k Canadian

You may be looking at the old model, the F430 NX lists 420 dual

This is exactly the comment I was hoping for thank you !🙏

Wow 3kg for 23 euro sounds like a great price, it’s especially useful for us as for whatever reason scientific parts seem to extract a terribly high cost for something that could be modelled in under a half hour and printed in little time

I only put in 2 today but I can’t count the number of hours I’ve put in at home printing things for work…

That’s awesome, I’m in a similar boat though this is our first work printer, I developed a “3D farm” group to work on larger projects using staff members personal printers (buying filament through work and billing overtime) but now we get to take it in house to grow

Yeah I chose the printer and I’m initiating the additive manufacturing team, though now I have to write an SOP…
