WanHao LCD (connector at a better angle)

FlashForge button & SD card module (better job of assembling the pard with the buttons perpendicular to the board)

 

Two spacers are placed on the upper fastening bolts of the LCD display. This causes the display to tip backwards slightly making viewing while standing in front of the display easier.

14 wires total:

4 x stepper motor

2 x thermocouple

2 x heater core

2 x heatsink fan

2 x endstop switch (Common & NO contacts)

2 x print cooling fan

3D Printer Shootout Testing - Day 3

Fused power inlet, front view. This particular inlet is a Corcom PE0SSSSX0 (Digikey CCM1384-ND) which is rated 10A @ 120VAC, fused, and filtered. It's overkill for this application but I happen to have a few of them and it's convenient to use the same unit everywhere.

 

Two safety grounds: one to mount to a filed down section of the frame (for good electrical contact), the other to run to the power supply. All four AC wires present as the switch is designed to interface to a 115/240 VAX PSU with the voltage selector on the PSU. The outside wires on the connector are the 115 hot and neutral.

Day 1 of the prep work for the Ultimate 3D Printing Guide, 2013

Carl Raffle heater blocks and thermal barrier tubes, available from

 

shop.raffle.ch

 

You really, really want thermal barrier tubes with the stepped down inside diameter. As far as I can tell, only Makerbot and Carl Raffle are correctly making these. The ones from other suppliers, including those from QU-BD are not correctly manufactured. (Avoid purchasing from QU-BD if you can help it. All too often they ship the wrong parts and will then never, ever answer calls or e-mail attempting to fix the problem.)

 

The 0.4 mm nozzles are from Performance 3-d,

 

www.p3-d.com/

 

The two thin M6 hex nuts (which Carl provides) are used as jam nuts to fix the thermal barrier tube to the heat spreader bar: one below the bar and one above. If you have some heatsink grease, use a small amount of it on the nuts. Apply a very thin layer of it to the nut faces which face the heat spreader bar as well as to their threads. That will further help transfer heat from the thermal barrier tube to the heat spreader bar.

 

3D Printer Shootout Testing - Day 3

This is just one style of mounting the Y axis endstop. If you instead use

you may find yourself doing something different. Or if your mount can clear the Y rod mounts, then you may be able to engage the upper portion of the X axis rod holders which ride on the Y rods.

3D Printer Shootout Testing - Day 3

Day 1 of the prep work for the Ultimate 3D Printing Guide, 2013

3D Printer Shootout Testing - Day 3

Left: Maximum build size on a MakerBot Replicator 1: 150mm

 

Right: Near maximum build size on the Unofficial ReplicatorXL: 248mm (I think it can go to 255 or so)

 

Custom Replicator case increases build height by 100mm.

I reworked this image as a bit darker than the one I uploaded this morning.

Camera used for this shot was the Pinhead 3D printed pinhole camera - focal length = 90mm with a 0.40mm pinhole, using Ilford Ortho Plus @64ASA, processed in D76 stock solution. Neg was scanned, imported into Lightroom and finished with the Silver Efex Pro2 plugin.

Changed the design on the side panels as well to match the Replicator 2 style.
