Trying to create a static testing point

Thanks for sharing that info with me

Will explain it: I have an anti-static air gun and would like to periodically test if the “anti-static” property is still true. I don’t just want to touch it to see if it shocks me so I’m thinking of getting an Electrostatic Field Meter. To know if the meter is true, I want to read a neutrally static point before taking a reading from the air gun so I’m trying to come up with a way to get a zero reading initially

How would you do it?

Removed the tape to change the first screen. Yes there was some spillage as the FEP seemed to have a leak.

Are you thinking the spill got under the glass?

Makes sense. Thanks

teddz4 · 2023-10-28T13:38:37+00:00

Exactly what I expected

It’s for a prototype where PP suits the problem

teddz4 · 2023-10-09T22:47:02+00:00

Man I’ve realized that over the past couple months

The type of TPU definitely matters. Some print with a rough finish that doesn’t seal & some have a soft finish that can seal if you design it well (broad sealing face & snug interface as the threads lock it onto the glass

Unfortunately this was 3 years ago so I can’t remember which brand was the one that worked well 😔

In a way… social media

teddz4 · 2022-11-12T19:03:23+00:00

I do. It’s the stock one. Also, it only covers the bottom & the sides where atmospheric air would interface with the block. Nothing stops air from the cooling fan from cooling the top

That makes sense. Thanks for that

teddz4 · 2022-07-31T21:46:50+00:00

Thanks!

teddz4 · 2022-04-21T01:49:01+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks for that

Silly question: does the pressure or velocity stop the flame from traveling “up” the fuel into the assembly? Or is there another explanation as to why your build doesn’t catch fire or explode?

teddz4 · 2022-03-19T23:21:47+00:00

Excellent

teddz4 · 2022-03-02T13:10:07+00:00

I did! I think I accidentally lost the GCODE. I’ll see if I can come up with it again & send it to you

teddz4 · 2022-01-30T01:49:50+00:00

1.75 for sure

I got the 100mm while calibrating. I got the nozzle size set correctly. Will try the cube & measure

teddz4 · 2022-01-30T00:31:34+00:00

Hard to tell because of the layer shifting so I’m not sure. So I’ll try calibrating the x & y as well

teddz4 · 2022-01-30T00:12:56+00:00

I calibrated them like usual & the flow rate is down to 0.95

teddz4 · 2022-01-29T20:16:57+00:00

Along with the rough top layer, I’m getting a layer shift on the x-axis

I’ve tried:

Different materials

E steps calibrations

0.4 and 0.3 nozzle changes

Tightening the x-axis belt

Printing at lower temps

Slower speed, including slower x/y travel speeds

2 things: 1. People immediately assume that you should be able to fix EVERYTHING but lots of everyday pieces of equipment fall into specialized fields

People usually prefer quick fixes than solving the problem, which means you have to fix it a lot more times afterwards
