Topic: Filawinder servo mod idea
First of all i'd like to ask MODS to create forum for filawinder because its a unit of its self different from filastruder all together.
Thank you.
When servo pushes the arm left and right, it encounters allot of resistance sometimes.
I looked at the WELLZOOM winder and they are using mechanical screw that simply slides filament guide left and right along the width of the spool.
So i came up with my own setup reusing original hardware but it does not work.
SERVO does not turn none stop until i say so, but only to a limit less then 360 degrees on either direction.
I need some kind of motor that will continue to turn to a desired point and then back.
Picture shows the idea (already tried and it works great except for the motor)
Any ideas ?
What motor do i need and what changes do i need in the firmware of the filawinder board and how ?
Original motor is [Positional servo] but i think i need [Continuous rotation servo]
thanks !
