Inquiring minds would like to know!

...and while we wait, there are those quick change hot end board kits from the makerhive to assemble (-:

Seriously; do we get e-mail notifications ? tracking numbers ? delay notices ?
Individually, or here ?

Thanks Jim,
Imagining it through it looks like all the nuts and bolts change over as well.
Did you get extra effector platforms as well ?

There is a ~$60 crimp tool recommended, so I am wondering if my $10 radio shack tool will work with the molex pins.

I'll try to make a picture of the parts I had used. Quite simple, I used foam gaskets between the motor faces and the melamine, then 1/8 inch grommets and washers under the screw heads. I'll try to dig out a link to the gaskets, I think they were $2 for 4. The Astrosyn rubber layer is a lot harder t...

Koooo_wel, THANKS !!!
Gotta print me one (or several) o' them (-:

I hate to "harsh anyone's buzz", but I put Astrosysns in my max a week or two ago and it is now LOUDER than it was with the foam gaskets, 1/8 inch grommets & longer motor screws - which had the advantage of barely needing a mm of hob gear out-shift. It isn't worth my time and trouble t...

Memo to self; Do STOP reading as soon as the word "SOLD" appears. Do NOT salivate, stuff pockets with cash, hook up horse trailer and plan route before reading DATES on old threads. @Eaglez; Sorry to hear of your back problems, mine isn't exactly "good" either - largely a problem...

Picked up two last night! Looks good but instructions are a little spotty. nitewatchman A couple of months later; I just found these and I am considering them (1 or 2 for now, maybe 3 so I have an excuse for a_NOTHER hot end). If I (& others) may benefit from your experience; How did they work ...

Thanks for answering my next (unasked) question Brian - clairvoyance ? (-: I had been thinking that squeezing the inner races of the bearings together with the same force as required to mount the axle to the plate would be a BAD idea. The rest of my bearings should be here TODAY -- C'mon postal serv...

Thanks,
Yes, it is clear from the picture - and it is the hole that is for the side that takes only ONE roller.

I know I shouldn't obsess over this, but that cam looks to be awful short to be going into the plate.
Maybe the screw takes all the relevant force(s) and it doesn't matter.

Anyone else get their OpenBuilds parts and try fitting them together yet ? I may be having a blonde/senior moment, but I had EXPECTED the eccentrics to fit inside the bearings. Either they fit inside the truck plates or I have the wrong eccentrics. My order SAYS 1/4 inch eccentrics, which is what Br...

FYI, if anyone else had to take a short shipment of the 625 bearings. Following an e-mail exchange ...OpenBuilds finally told me that the 625 bearings are back in stock, so I ordered the remaining 15 yesterday. Too bad I couldn't get them ALL at the 15% Cyber Monday discount and all on the same ship...

I'll guess that the Volcano is a new INDUCTION HEATED hot end.
I imagine a nice little soft iron sleeve right around the nozzle, perhaps the nozzle actually threads INTO the soft iron sleeve.
VERY localized heating.

{Way off base, or just crazy enough to be RIGHT ?}

I replied where you asked here;

last night.

I got impatient AGAIN this morning and did the Z tower motor. I know, I know, I coulda/shoulda waited for the trick trucks.... Anyway, I want to add another TIP: If you are anywhere near as ham fisted and klutzy as I am with small mechanical assemblies DO go to http://repables.com/r/424/" oncli...

They tuck in under the axle holder, BRIGHT BLUE in the pics.

Hmmm, 4, 5, or 6 bux a piece in some places. A little under $3 if I buy wheel kits, but I would need 8 kits and get a lot of bits left over, since I already bought everything else. A dollar each, but they are out of stock of the "BEARINGS ONLY" at OpenBuilds - though they have enough to ma...

I got my astrosyn dampers this morning and set about installing the X tower one. See previous post, I had sponge rubber gaskets between the motors and the melamine and 1/8 inch rubber grommets under the screw heads, so I may already have a quieter than standard build, longer screws than standard. An...

Bahh, Just to throw ANOTHER money wrench in the works; I liked the trick trucks from Trick Laser when they first appeared, I held off buying them, the $10 off expired, Brian renewed it, I ordered... Somewhere in there I got to thinking about building my own - well, having a machinist friend make som...

Thanks Brian, I flipped AGAIN and ordered mine. Only hang up is that the 625RS bearings seem to be in VERY short supply - and there isn't an EASY way to know how many you can get, only that you are trying to buy too many. Heck, I got THREE, so only FIFTEEN to go (-: Not your problem, but they don't ...

Ooops, I put them in the cart just before some "system problem" and by the time I got to check-out the $10 off was gone. Maybe jmpreuss was right all along - although the web site STILL says anticipated ship date is Dec 12 and $10 off is available on pre-orders. Probably still worth $50, ...

I *HOPE NOT*, since I am on the web site now and it is saying order now and save $10.

So I got to that final stage in the build, Check point 22. Flip the switch, I hear the RAMBo fan and LCD comes on, YAY! :) But then I start to freak out a little, because I see nothing on the LCD. As I look closer, I DO actually see the 2 rows of blocks, but it's one of those where you have to look...

I'm willing to take a 15% cut off of dampers for the black friday weekend. Valid Friday 11/28 to Monday 12/1, a set of dampers will only cost you $20 shipped ($27 shipped internationally). Thanks, I just ordered mine. I hope the lower sound level will be worth the tear-down - it may be a good idea ...

I wouldn't expect either of those to "need" any support material.
The tops of the heads are open, no "roof" to worry about caving in.

I can't get them because I won't register/join.
