SD Press - Under the Kimono (Page 7 of 12)

I was able to probe an map all the pins on the JST headers to the AT90 (Manually with a meter... argh). I am going to see if I can temp reconfigure an endstop to one of those pins. If this works, I'll be able to get a thermocouple and a filament diameter sensor working. And on that note I maybe able to map the PWM fan port to another pin that supports PWM and make a externet FET to control a fan.

As I didn't run the stock setup for very long. I didn't design a fan mount for it. I have a fan mount for the extruder mount I designed for the E3D mod.

Since I was not able to the PWM port to work at the time of release for the bowden config, I removed it.

But 50x15mm blower (pointing down) will fit in the space to the right of the stock extruder assembly. The stock fan would have to come out of course then relocated (Another small reason why I went bowden). The space around the stock setup is tight. If you place the stock right side fan in place of the 'viewing window' then it will collide with the press frame if you get it too close.

When I get a chance, I'll measure out the stock extruder assembly and see if I can figure something out.

That would be awesome!  thanks!

I actually have a little room at the front of the Y axis anyway.  I installed some printable belt tensioners and had to reduce my Y-travel to 190mm to accomodate them.  It's a hack, but is working for now.

I need to make some changes. But here what I got. I'll clean it up when I get back from this meeting.

Yeah I've changed it and shaved off a couple mm of the mount. Once the parts for my DRO (For an unrelated project) gets done printing. I'll print the update.

On a side note, I see your lever is slightly bent also.

One quick question to other Press owners- Are you seeing discoloration of the wire loom? Mine is turning this ashy white. Its not a film, the actual plastic is discoloring. I was planing to change it out anyway but just wanted to know if it just mine or other are seeing to too.

I ordered from amazon... there were only 2 available with prime shipping... (literally two... two models, each with only 1 remaining in stock.).  By the time i decided which I wanted, someone had purchased it... so I got the other.

There were lots on there that didn't have prime shipping.  also on ebay.  be careful though... some of the ones on ebay say 50x15mm, but the description says 50mmx20mm.

That's about as thin as I can get it. You'll need a couple M3 screws in place of the knurled ones.

Thanks! 

I'll try to get this printed over the next day or so and give it a try.

What length m3 screw would you recommend? I'm probably going to have to go buy some, or order online somewhere.  Most of the assortments I've seen start with m4 size, unfortunately.

Thanks.

Dream-Cypher, Did it work out?

Later today I am going to try to see if I can map the PWM pin to somewhere else. I've made a small FET breakout board to test/troubleshoot with.

Has anyone noticed that SD presence here (and IRC) have completely stopped?

Ah I was looking at the wrong user. Huh okay. And it seems like one logged into the IRC channel a couple mins ago.

I am just trying to get some info bout the PWM pin. I've asked here, IRC and emailed them. Nothing. Just wanting to know if I am wasting time on this or not.
