Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

only go above 240 (246 i think its he crit temp for the PEEK part of the SeeMeCNC hot end and most say not to take it above 235C to have a safety margin... I would not go above 235 without using an all metal hotend such as the E3DV6

Welcome and if your ar looking for support on Delta 3 d printer you have come to the right spot the experts here are flat-out amazing. I "am only an egg" envying started on this adventure late last fall but there are honest of god amazingly helpful expert here on almost ever topic who free...

It has been quite a while since we have seen any posts from Mike Hackney I hope he is just swamped with biz since its fishing season (Or he has gone fishing).

I will let the real experts comment on the PET-G as I have yet to start on the spool i bought based on the recommendations here on the forum... except to note that the recommended hot end temp for it is too close to the failure temp for the PEEK section of the stock SMC hot end for me to use it exce...

I would recommend that you make your effector (get a $5 spare effector plate here https://www.seemecnc.com/collections/parts-accessories/products/molded-platform-for-ball-joint-arms) and hotted combo quick swap with plugs and perhaps a pair of these http://www.themakerhive.com/shop/viewitem.php?prod...

or just a stick of incense

Build the stock hot end first..(just upgrade to the screw in potted thermistor as seen in this video by our esteemed manual writer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvXKt3xDt4E ) use it to make the ABS fan shrouds and a few ABS test prints... and document everything in writing as you print and change ...

the main reason for painting the edges (other than it looks cool) is to control the odor of the laser cut Melamine. and i guess it will increase stability in very high humidity swing areas. I skipped it as i did not find the spell offensive (and after a few weeks the cut edge smell dissipated on its...

Iam not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV or stay at the right motel chain but I was taught that there is a principal in law called the reasonable man defense that would toss out the whole mess no matter what the claim or assert about severability that they try to assert... I think these things are w...

Thanks for the info and the search pointer guys. There is a lot to think about including surface finish requirements once i get past a working digital model in OnShape. It looks like it will have to be bronze at an artist centric foundry as iron casters that will take small one off jobs seem to prov...

I wonder just how enforceable a click to accept contract as complex as this one is in actual fact.... it does not seem to me to pass the reasonable man test they taught in a coarse on the Uniform commercial code i took at university back in the 1960s. But I guess it would take someone with deep pock...

.... Any tricky new designs I print to work out the details before machining....

and lets not forget that the law of averages means that in volume production you can get additive (ors subtractive) tolerance build up... the best example of this was with the first 747 jetliners where if all the assembly tolerances were on the tight side you had a plane the was XXX feet long but la...

You have the parts for the stock SeeMeCNC hot end and its mount as they came with your kit. seriously consider using it and ABS to print your first two parts following GeneB's excellent instructions. get a fell for the printer with it and it does a fine job with ABS and PLA (for PLA many will prefer...

if you go to one of the SeeMeCNC web pages (other than this forum) in the lower right corner is a button that during normal Biz hours will give you a text chat support connection. This is a great way to get help its faster than email and creates a chat log that you can print out and have to hand as ...

How did your printer do with the supplied SeeMeCNC hot end with ABS? as a side note the E3Dv6 is at its best with high temp filaments and is know to be a little bit finicky with PLA esp with retractions... I am still using the stock hot end and it works very well with PLA and ABS, but is stressed to...

sadly we have to deduct points from that crash as one prop blade remained attached... try to do a more through job next time

Welcome it is you are

this is going tosound a bit nuts but I was taught my first electronics, when I was about 10 years old, by a former WW2 radar tech when i was attempting to make a 1949 vintage DuMont tv set (it was then 1960 or so and he was running his TV repair shop and he had an assembly manual for the that old tv...

I had some machine shop work a few years ago the parts I made were out of 6066-T6 and I used dye from these folks http://www.caswellplating.com/anodizing-products/anodizing-dyes.html the result was good and I saw the parts last summer the ones exposed to sunlight outside had not faded at all except ...

+1 if it slips when locked with the printed lock than the fitting is no good and must be replaced

Congratulations on your dual graduation! well done!

Very nice and I have been using these folks for many years for metal as I live very far from the nearest shop where you can roll up and get what you need cut to order rather than in 12 foot or longer lengths the way many industrial suppliers work http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant.cfm?id=60&st...
