No, thank you for all your hard work!! I finally finished converting my "giant" RM2 to a MM yesterday. I wouldn't have done so without you and everyone else paving the way before me.ccavanaugh wrote:
Very nice!
Yes... Spool Holder Bracket.stl / step. Just checked and they are there.bob64 wrote:Ccavanaugh, did you ever upload your files for the Gen 2 Spool Holder? I'm interested in using it in my build, although I'd probably face it "inwards" so the filament path is as direct as possible.
First 3d printer? That's a bold movehav2uo4 wrote:Pulled the trigger on a MAX METAL build. This is my first build, so I don’t have the ability to print any parts yet. Would someone be willing to sell me enough parts to get up and running? CCAVANAUGH’s designs look really awesome. Figure I’d need the fsr brackets/pistons, limit switch brackets, and belt spacers. If interested, please send me a PM with how much you’d want for your prints. Thanks!
If no one has made an offer to you yet, I would head on over to 3DHubs or MakeXYZ. There are many 3D print shops that will do the parts for you at a reasonable price. You might even find one run by a forum member. They print the stuff for you, and in a few days, it arrives in the mail. Pretty nice, huh?hav2uo4 wrote:Pulled the trigger on a MAX METAL build.

Thanks. I had tried that before but the quotes were over halfway to buying a cheap printer. I just tried combining all parts into a single stl and prices are now much more reasonable.626Pilot wrote:If no one has made an offer to you yet, I would head on over to 3DHubs or MakeXYZ.

Of the FSR BRACKET-X, Y, and Z files, is there one you most recommend using?ccavanaugh wrote:The three versions prevent over constraint and allows for dimensional error and thermal expansion. One is "just right", the other is slotted and the the over is simply oversize.d1rron wrote:Good to know! Also, is there a reason that the FSR brackets are in 3 separate files? I can't tell any difference between them, but I don't want to assume. Lol I guess it doesn't really matter. Thanks again!
They are designed to use one of each to prevent over constraining and allow the heated bed to expand.hav2uo4 wrote:Of the FSR BRACKET-X, Y, and Z files, is there one you most recommend using?ccavanaugh wrote:The three versions prevent over constraint and allows for dimensional error and thermal expansion.

Doh. Should have figured. Thank you!ccavanaugh wrote: They are designed to use one of each to prevent over constraining and allow the heated bed to expand.
I was just getting ready to design some kind of Onyx holder. I am so tired of having to drill the snowflakes, and finding that the MDF gets impacted and loose after awhile (probably due to getting parts off the glass by jamming a putty knife under them). I'm picking up two of these!bvandiepenbos wrote:And mounting plate for PSU and Electronics

How do you like that LIHUA PSU? How does it compare to the Antec? I'm getting tired of all the connectors on the one that came with my MAX.
I got this installed okay, but it seems the smaller of the two plywood sheets tends to reverberate when the motors are doing certain things. It can be somewhat loud. If I press on the plywood, it damps almost all of the noise. Is there an easy fix for this?bvandiepenbos wrote:And mounting plate for PSU and Electronics

I would try silicone caulking where the plywood enters the aluminum. A strip of 2" or so on each of the three sides is what I would try.626Pilot wrote:I got this installed okay, but it seems the smaller of the two plywood sheets tends to reverberate when the motors are doing certain things.

Do you have the mounting plate clamped in the corners with the (6) 4-40 screws and corner brackets? ...either wood ones our metal corner bed mount brackets.626Pilot wrote:I got this installed okay, but it seems the smaller of the two plywood sheets tends to reverberate when the motors are doing certain things.

Ah. I figured the kit worked like this:bvandiepenbos wrote:Do you have the mounting plate clamped in the corners with the (6) 4-40 screws and corner brackets? ...either wood ones our metal corner bed mount brackets.
It can be mounted either way, either should work fine. The (6) 4-40 X 1-1/4" screws clamp upper and lower wood parts onto the center of side rail.626Pilot wrote:Ah.

- Mount the triangle in the upper slot, bolt the snowflake to it using spacers
- OR, mount the triangle in the lower slot, then use the spacers in the upper slot
I'm thinking that mounting it the second way will give it enough clamping force that it won't reverberate. Thanks!
