Re: Max V2 heated enclosure

VERY NICELY DONE. I do like the cabinet, not as much for heat but more just for dust and dirt. But the last few weeks here heat is the last thing needed for printing. With outside in 120s I just need to open a window and turn off the AC. The cabinet reminds me of a scientific lab cabinet for balance...

Re: A feisty senior speaks out

Well, I can not say if I agree or disagree with the posting, if not simply due to the fact I have paid into social security and medicare etc. for a great portion of my working life but yet am not able to enjoy collecting a return on my contributions. Some one else will enjoy them for their retiremen...

Re: How-to: Thermistor calibration

Spec sheet shows a TO220 package which would allow a machine screw mount. Yes still issue of the 150 max temp. Maybe the KYT84 silicone temperature sensor as it is suppose to be virtually liner.

Re: How-to: Thermistor calibration

I would like to look at using an LM35 instead of a thermistor (or actually a simular device that can take the heat). Of course one more wire to add to the head, as well as more changes to the Arduino. And the issue with temperature would be the first issue to tackle.

Re: Location of Extra Wiring

Well after spending the last couple days squeezing in a pair of 22GA wires into two of the tower legs, I though I had meet my need for extra wire. I have no plans for a dual extruder as I hope to use Pallete for multi color printing. So 4 extra wires worked, until I put the wire and tube in place an...

Re: Tower Wire Clearance on Idlers

I just finished installing two of the tower legs and started noticing the very close wire to idler and looks like if left to Murphy that rubbing will occur. I did add two 22GA wires to one tower tube for LED lighting but that is a very minimal size change. I also had planned to slip heat shrink over...
