Frank's Mods/design prints

I have decided to take the advice of others and add 'feet' to Robo.
I picked out the 1" feet on thingsgiven and added a layer of silicone and a layer of cork to add air circulation and vibration asorbision. I will attach them with silicone also.


8/23- the feet are installed, and it must be my imagination, but it seems to be printing faster.

 

The wiring on the X carriage leaves a bit to be desired.
I am going to add one of those 'snake' type looms for the wires and a plug in circuit board in front of the Extruder motor.
The loom is printed and I am working on the design of the plug in board.
All this won't be installed until I have cut out the sides and added clear plexiglass, quick detacheable panels.

 

I am working on some Jurassic theme items. They will all eventially be mounted on velvet or satin on black walnut placks.
Some incomplete samples.
Velociraptor claw
24kt gold plated

camen
24kt gold plated

Shark tooth

 

Well the Osprey claw turned out nice. I think I will cover that with 24kt gold plate like the raptor claw above.

I did it in black also. That one really looks evil!

 

Here's a mod I am thinking about.
I have a new V6. I am going to add a 40W heater and cartridge thermistor which came mounted in an Elecrow hot end block. I will use the V6 nozzle. I have printed a mounting bracket for a 40 size fan. In the top, I will install copper tubing clear up to the drive bolt. This should handle any filament, even the exotics. Any suggestions? Hay, the Elecrow only cost about $8 with heater and thermistor. Frank

 

Yep, it's called a 5/64" drill run till smooth followed by a flo thru treatment of Mobile synthetic oil. I have used this treatment in the hex I am now running with a V6 nozzle. No jams so far and smooth running, but it doesn't have the copper top installed yet. Frank
I am spending so much time on this that Blue is getting jealous of the computer and printer!! LOL Frank
