Yes the Diamond would need to be above the effector with the nozzle poking through a hole in the centre.

... these things https://www.seemecnc.com/collections/parts-accessories/products/cnc-machined-ball-joint-kit (did I understand question right?) As for diamond, it would be great to have hotend above effectors, like I've done with tricklaser effector https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1128037 . What do you ...

I'm already looking at designing a version for a Diamond, because I would like to use one too. What do you think would be an appropriate rod spacing?

A version for the Cyclops has been requested too.

I don't think you should, because E3D is kinda most widely-used. It's just me who want to use Diamond hotend with it, and my lack of skills to alter open source hardware except for mechanics makes me sad.

Sorry it looked like criticism, it wasn't intended.

... use a wood-burning kit or a soldering iron with a hot knife attachment. For removal from the bed, I suggest honing the spatula SeeMe provides on a diamond or waterstone along one edge and the tip. Glad to hear it's impressive. One suggestion would be especially for thin wall stuff, see if vase mode ...

I recently acquired a brand new Geeetech Rostock 301 with the diamond head. Yes parts are cheap and they have improved on them slightly from what I have read on forums. I finished building it and calibration is not going so great. Bed is level within .06mm and I setup test scripts for center and all ...

Thx Eric I didn't see that diagram before but I was sure I had clicked on all the links. :oops: I am trying to put a diamond head with magnetic ball mount onto a V2 with the HE280 level sense. So I have a Rumba board not a Rambo because of the need for 3 extruders. Thats mainly why all the colors and ...

It is very time consuming to do the color change and uses a lot of filament. Well how bad is it against, for example, Diamond hotend? I have both and it's not to easy to decide what to choose, configurability of Prometheus or 3 colours of Diamond. Also, I think colour switching should be faster and ...

... and I admire the idea of using PCBs. The PCB effector only supports center-feed, 1-in 1-out hot ends, but I want to be able to support Cyclops and Diamond hot ends, so that won't work for me. His parts may be lighter than mine, but mine will be made from aircraft aluminum, so they won't be "heavy ...

... it can be used with a bowden cable or with the Nimble, in case you don't have a Nimble. Next task is to see if we can do the same but then with smaller sensors on a Chimera. But first I have to finish the Diamond nozzle effector. Almost done, but it does almost break my brain getting it to work. Lykle

... don't pop off. But it may not have been a problem if printed in ABS. I did end up printing them vertically (thin tapered spout end upward, as a diamond orientation) using a raft, and compared to the ones I printed horizontal (same orientation they end up mounted in) the profile finish was much ...

... Pilot! We are quite happy with the initial pick up. Now comes the hard slog designing all the adaptors everybody wants. For instance, working on a Diamond effector for the Rostock with integrated Nimbles. We promised we would design em, so we are designing em. Sorry about the self assembly, but then ...

That's a beautiful machine.

Sorry it's been a while since the last update. [img]http://www.perrydice.com/images/rostock_enclosure.png[/img] As you can see from the picture, I've had to make some modifications since last time I posted. Mods include: 1. Changed the way the filament feeds from the top sides to a more direct path ...

... with something like the Prometheus system (Single Input, Single Output, Switching hotends), while Multi-Input,Single-Output hotends like the Diamond and especially the Cyclops really want the extra force of a Bondtech type system. Another nice feature in my opinion is that it has both infeed ...

... drag your print, ruining it. The unused nozzle(s) also have a tendency to ooze filament on your print. Single nozzle out, multi-filament in: the Diamond and E3D Cyclops are examples of this. The link you posted is a copy of the Diamond. Save yourself the headache and get a REAL Diamond. It might ...

... etc since I had them. I'm hoping there's a Rostock expert down here willing to help me resuscitate my baby and maybe even upgrade it to a diamond hot end. I have some other boards I can use if the Rambo isn't up to the task (not enough extruders) and that is the route. That's a more time ...

... can define several tools with different mix ratios if you wish. It's probably best to use firmware retraction, so that all extruder drives retract the same amount regardless of the mix ratio. I am told that this works well for fhe Diamond hot end. Use M207 to define the firmware retraction parameters.

... at the blazing speed of 100mm/s it would take 3 seconds for the retract phase plus whatever it takes to purge. Although switching hotends like the Diamond and Cyclops have other challenges, the switching volume is very low and even with that it takes quite a bit of extrusion to purge to the new color ...

... They didn't implement it the same way. Btw it was Adrian Bowyer who designed and wrote the RRF implementation, not me. Returning to the original topic, has anyone any ideas on how to achieve better mixing of the molten filaments in a design similar to the Diamond? Might ultrasonic agitation help?

There are machines doing many colour printing using a Diamond hot end and Duet electronics. See this claimed 300 colour print http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?166,647072 for an example. The main issue seems to be that the Diamond doesn't mix the filaments very well. If we could sort that out, then I ...

... driver. We will have the board available for purchase in about month. I am sorry this does not really satisfy the requirements for an all in one Diamond hot end printer controller board. The plan is to eventually make an adapter board that provides additional stepper drivers. Jason from UM said it ...

... t that hard to duplicate either, should you need it. It requires one of the spare analog pins on the Arduino. The limiting factor on all these simple expansions are the unused pins from the Arduino. I can't help you with operational details on the Diamond. I only run single filament hotends myself.
