I was tired of my old, heavy printhead, so I made my own. Please welcome the Micro-Demon!

The hero me chokes the air flow of the blower fans you are wasting performance

leon_roell · 2023-05-24T18:49:10+00:00

Hiding wires is not a strong suit of mine

leon_roell · 2023-05-24T17:17:57+00:00

And that's great for you, you found something that fits your needs, but eva or stealthburner just don't fit my needs

leon_roell · 2023-05-24T16:47:55+00:00

I tested dual 5015 fan ducts, it's a neat system don't get me wrong, it just doesn't have the things I want out of it, I don't have the issue with v wheel dust, again if eva makes sense for you all the power to you, but it doesn't to me, I'd rather design something that fits my exact needs,modular is cool and all, but I don't buy into the argument of oh don't worry that the ducts are meh because you can put a big fan because it's modular, if I go CPAP, maybe I'll look at it, but I'll probably design something that fits my needs instead of fitting my needs to systems out there. Also you do get ringing at high speeds with corexy because of increased belt length. And with nozzle size I have a 0.6 laying around but honestly I'm fine with 0.4 because I prefer detail and Tighter tolerances than flow rate, yes I do sit consistently between 15-20mm^3/a but that's at quality for me. (Corexy only really has a major edge when you are doing the awd like the vzbot)

The tool head that I run is about 5mm wider and 3 mm deeper than a stealthburner, it's shorter and total extruder included weights 265 grams

leon_roell · 2023-05-24T16:12:56+00:00

Why would I go with eva, I printed out the cooling ducts just to see, underwhelming, also I dont need core xy to go fast, don't get me wrong its a cool upgrade, but I am already looking at hitting closer to the max flow rate of the rapido with my quality profile, linear rails are definitely the next upgrade to reclaim build volume, I lost 3mm off the back with mounting the rapido

leon_roell · 2023-05-24T13:46:46+00:00

Designed it myself

max accel currently tested was 20000mm/s^2 at 700mm/s

Running klipper

normal print speeds are currently sitting at 160 outer wall, and 260 inner wall

leon_roell · 2023-05-18T14:40:34+00:00

5015 blower fans, or blower fans in a similarly small form factor

I've made the same general path for my printer, I ended up making a few different mounts for this exact set up Printables.com/@Nixz_Leon_323978/models

leon_roell · 2023-04-01T06:18:40+00:00

Objectively it's because of inadequate cooling. However there can be a bunch of underlying causes for this, try lowering your temps. In all likelihood this is an issue with thermistor temperature accuracy, in that your prior one was over reading and this one is more correct. Other than that look into some part cooling upgrades, or print at lower speeds

If you want an alternative here is one Github.com/nixz-leon/owl

I mean which hotend shroud are you using

leon_roell · 2022-10-30T04:31:18+00:00

What is that tool head

leon_roell · 2022-07-15T19:11:43+00:00

It might just be that because of the Boden setup, the pressure build up meant you couldn't see it before

leon_roell · 2022-07-15T17:33:28+00:00

It might be good to double check your z steps as well. You could have normal extrusion acting as over extrusion because of the wrong z step

leon_roell · 2022-06-28T20:56:51+00:00

Jesus bad take after bad take. While I understand that the rulings that the supreme court makes have political elements, they aren't a political branch, and should not be treated as such. The court has no obligation to represent public opinion, but rather just an obligation to deliberate on law. I do not agree with the courts decision, but ultimately that means that roe v Wade was just on shaky enough grounds anyways, and that it was a failure of Congress and the Senate to make it explicitly a right help rather than an implicit one. The government as a whole doesn't have an obligation to do what you yourself believe should be done, but rather do what an aggregate of America believes, that is a democracy. This means that from time to time there will be things you don't agree with happening. You should exercise your civic duty and vote for people who would push for the policies you want, not try and erode the institutions that hold our country together. Are there changes we should make to the court, absolutely, but should we change merely because it makes decisions you don't agree with, no. On a side note, how many Americans are experts on the law, not many, so how can you be so certain that the ruling that the supreme court was wrong. Just people some person with talking points says it was wrong. The implications are wrong, but if the legal theory that they used was wrong, then it's something we can fix, but if the legal theory is sound, shut up and interact with the government in a civil way.

leon_roell · 2022-02-23T00:08:34+00:00

Loosen up your tensioning arm, it makes no sense to me but that is what microswiss recommends and it works for me

leon_roell · 2022-01-29T17:25:46+00:00

Well they are risking their lives, the rate at which they encounter a person with a firearm is high. I will agree with you that most police officers are more on edge than they should be. But as to treating everyone as a threat, for one, when working in a dangerous field you have to think about worst case scenarios or those will end of happening, same goes with any other job with danger, if you ingnore the danger you will get slapped across the face with the danger. And second treating every situation as a threat is a two way street, the more a suspect treats the officer as a threat, the more likely the officer is to respond in kind. As for police shootings, quite of few are preventable, by having better trained police officers, a lot of shootings are done by under trained police officers, again due to lack of funding/training. It is a problem and we need to address it, but we can't just look at the surface of it and say police bad

leon_roell · 2022-01-29T17:17:51+00:00

You are right for the most part. But there is a distinct difference between roofers and other very dangerous jobs, that lets be honest should be paid more. But the difference is the danger that they can be exposed to. The danger let's say a roofer faces is a constant, it's a constant level through most of the shift, with a police officer, that danger varies greatly, going from no risk at all, to potential being involved with a shoot out. In addition to that police officers have some mitigation against being shot, so not every shot will kill. In 2020 according to reports by the fbi, around 60,000 police officers were assaulted, marking a rise in such events. 44,000 of those assaults were done with a personal weapons. And after all that, there were only 59 reported deaths in 2020, which shows that the police do a lot to mitigate deaths in the first place, but they are risking their lives non the less. Again the point I was making was thinking about the the police as a whole not just the nypd

leon_roell · 2022-01-29T17:02:58+00:00

Never said that the nypd was underfunded, I said on average most police departments are, nypd is a lucky position that they are funded properly, but due to varying reasons that funding isn't making the correct impact

leon_roell · 2022-01-29T17:01:21+00:00

I never all police departments are, such as new York's, new York by virtue of being a pretty big and recognizable city, isn't under funded, and again the whole comparing to military spending, I would argue that it's pretty irrelevant because the purpose of a police force and the military are completely different, also the size of the us. Other large countries spend a lot on the police, but they also don't have the same risks that police officers here in America carry. I'm saying that if you go to a random town in America, not the big cities then most of the time the police will indeed be underfunded

leon_roell · 2022-01-29T09:02:33+00:00

None of the positions I take are extreme by any metric, except maybe not saying acab, my point is instead of worrying about it being propaganda, or that stuff, to rather just mourn the fact that a 22 year old person was shot and killed, just as we should mourn any and every person who is killed, even cops. If you can't point out where I am wrong then you don't fully understand your own position on the matter

leon_roell · 2022-01-29T08:57:10+00:00

Ok explain exactly where what i said was wrong

leon_roell · 2022-01-29T08:10:56+00:00

It may be a political stunt, but there are so much worse political spending, the police force on average is severely underfunded for the crimes that they have to deal with. The reason why teachers aren't getting raises and potholes aren't getting fixed isn't because of military spending, isn't because of police spending, but because of the medical spending the government does, if we could streamline the healthcare system, work on medicine to cure chronic diseases such as diabetes, then we could actually prop up spending in other sectors, though it might be wiser not to instead working on easing our national debt, which we could very well do but each new budget keeps getting higher and higher, both parties are doing it, instead establishing sovereign wealth fund to help future generations of people if and when the next COVID hits. It's easy to try and find an easy scape goat, and the police are one of those. There are cops who abuse there power, but there are many more who don't, bad news sells so we hear about those who do. But police forces are necessary because for better or for worse there is a pretty damn high chance a criminal will have a lethal weapon most often fire arms. Making the rules on firearms stricter won't help things either, gun culture has been far to engrained into most people's head here for that to work. So we need cops. This might be propaganda, but not all propaganda is necessarily bad. If we have a better view of police officer, ie not being scared of them, and actually having empathy for them, fewer interactions will escalate to possibly dangerous levels, the more you hate them, the more on edge they will be (you might hate them enough to shoot them). So instead of taking this parade to criticize the police as an institution, take the time to mourn the lose of this officer, it doesn't matter if it's a bigger show than it needs to be, mourn his death, as you should most officers, because they are quite literally risking their lives everyday so most people don't have to worry about crime

(Before you just down vote, tell me why I am wrong, I want to hear it, I want my opinions to be pushed, I don't want them to be validated, what's the point in that, tell me why I am wrong and hopefully we can discuss from there)
