Mostly just for removal! I print a lot of giant pots for my houseplants and I’m impatient.
Let me know how the Manta goes, I have a duet wifi I was considering using for this that is currently on an old project. Has someone made a wiring diagram for the harness or are you just redoing all of the wiring? Last I looked I couldn’t find a Pinout diagram for either the harness or the board.
I personally like the strain gauge as a leveling mechanism, particularly since I added a magnetic build plate. I like the idea of #2, I wonder if you could use a M10 male to make adapter like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/404101432925?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=404101432925&targetid=1529314447630&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=1014257&poi=&campaignid=20398926916&mkgroupid=148892907822&rlsatarget=pla-1529314447630&abcId=9317285&merchantid=759262499&gclid=CjwKCAjwvrOpBhBdEiwAR58-3GcDoYiTk2pI6UQYjkseFyjCi99dch8PZQjWqWdVfneK6-DX-6hiiRoCuc0QAvD_BwE
And just connect your adapter plate to the hotend (or tap the orbiter? Idk)
You might need a little printed spacer and a short Bowden tube inside that.
Other little nice things/learnings for the printer I have done other than the spring steel sheet:
If you want an all metal hotend you can replace the heartbreak with a slice engineering copperhead heartbreak (use a G2 type)
If you want color change capabilities, to have finer z adjust, and to have a larger mesh, i recommend trying the following custom firmware (IF YOU ARE CONFIDENT WITH THIS KIND OF STUFF)
Nice move! I think you have it correctly mounted though, I wouldn’t put it on a bracket. I used a conversion bracket for direct drive on my Max and I kept getting pulsing issues.
I think they were due to the filament pushing down the hotend slightly when starting to extrude because the hotend is mounted on the compliant strain gauge mount. With your method, it stays isolated and doesn’t push down more on the strain gauge mount when the extrusion starts.
Please give me an update if you can if you run into any other problems!
Shotcut is a great easy to learn video editor I have used a lot.
Idk what this guy is using, but I’ve installed wham bam flex plates on 2 large resin printers and I consider it almost a requirement. It makes print removal super easy and installation is real easy.
I’m a big fan of welding parts together using a 3D pen and the filament I printed with. Then, if it’s not super clean, I make the edge flush with a small chisel.
That or uv adhesive to tack parts together and then CA glue and remove the adhesive.
I’ve got an Anycubic Kobra Max at home for big prints that is relatively reliable and a corexy poject printer cobbled together from about 10 different sources.
My first printer was a makerfarm i3v in 2014.
Ngl with the right beans this could be dank

Unfortunately I’m at work right now, but I’ll be sure to share here tonight once I get everything uploaded!
Same which is why I pirate it
Sure, they’re all over Amazon and AliExpress, but these were the ones I chose.

Ooh I like the idea, seedlings could be the new houseplant aesthetic!
Is your z axis driven by a single leadscrew? Google x axis sag as I think this is what you are facing.
If you have dual leadscrews you just fix one and raise the other to tram the x axis to the bed.
If you have one leadscrew… Google x axis sag as I don’t have much experience there
Lmao I’m glad I’m not the only one with a multiple post bug, the low profile discord is here:

I would check out the dudes over at [email protected] (think I linked that correctly…) They should be able to help out. The low profile keyboards discord is also a good place for this. Ergogen is a keyboard plate generator that can also make that I believe.
