OK I still need even more clearness

Can this:

Positive of the power supply goes to the center pin of one of the switches.
A wire goes from outer pin of said switch to outer pin of the other switch, and to Pin 9 of the controller.
A wire goes from Pin 8 to Pin 9 of the controller.
A wire goes from center pin of said switch to the fan's red wire and to one of the motor terminals.
The fan's black wire connects to Pin 10 on the PID.
One of the heater wires connects to Pin 10 of the PID.
The other motor terminal connects to Pin 10 on the PID.
The power supply's negative wire connects to Pin 10 on the PID.
The other heater wire connects to Pin 7 on the PID.
Connect thermocouple, be mindful of the polarity.

be translated to this:

Positive of the power supply goes to the center pin of SWITCH 1.
A wire goes from outer pin of SWITCH 1 to outer pin of SWITCH 2, and to Pin 9 of the controller.
A wire goes from Pin 8 to Pin 9 of the controller.
A wire goes from center pin of SWITCH 2 to the fan's red wire and to one of the motor terminals.
The fan's black wire connects to Pin 10 on the PID.
One of the heater wires connects to Pin 10 of the PID.
The other motor terminal connects to Pin 10 on the PID.
The power supply's negative wire connects to Pin 10 on the PID.
The other heater wire connects to Pin 7 on the PID.
Connect thermocouple, be mindful of the polarity.

Thermocouple is the temperature sensor? The one with orange plug?
Brass plug is the one that defines the filament diameter?
I would rather prefer to stick it with kapton tape to the barrell on which the heater is attached over, so I can change the brass plug without having to detach and reattach the sensor, is this practice ok?

What about heater polarity, not important?

Sorry for pointing everything out as the newbie I am, I just prefer to spend 2 words more than burn anything and have to wait weeks to complete the thing.

Another question: I see that switch 2 is only used on one of the outer pins, the other 2 pins are unused, is this correct?
Also, I assume it's ok if I use for both switch the n.2 external pin, right?

Turned on the thing now after cabling, but no signs of life

Power supply green LED is on, so up to there at least there's electricity lol

No lol ho did you know that?
I thought the switch worked in one way but it was the other.

All those LED... are now light... and christmas is near... and the screw is turning... so nice.

Now I'll have to make the set up of the electronic and print the feeder plastic part.
Had to replace the printer head recently and still have to complete the work... hope I manage to finish it tomorrow.

What are you trying to do?

The only thing you should need to do is autotune the PID loop, which is covered in the Filastruder assembly instructions.

Not sure if you thought the wiring was finished in the photos you posted, but it isn't and the heater won't heat without this step you missed:

A wire goes from Pin 8 to Pin 9 of the controller.

Correct, the only thing to do on the PID controller (other than autotuning, which should only be done if the thermal characteristics change, like moving the insulation, changing the fan, etc)

To go faster, you'll need to over volt the motor. It would be important to add cooling if you do this in the form of a fan blowing on the motor. 15-18v should be ok, as long as the additional cooling is sufficient.

To go slower (not sure why you'd do this), you could use a PWM controller.

I don't think it really does anything, you can remove it if you want.

guys please help me  by using SESTOS D1S - 2R in my Filastruder i dont know whats the setting ?

hi,

i was getting ready to start assembling my filastruder and filawinder ...

but the links on the first page aint working ...

pls let me know where i can download the operation manuals

chX

thanks,

the

Revision 1.2 of the operation manual for the Fully Assembled Filastruder (Lasercut guide bar parts, Serial # FA140, FA179-present) gives a 404 error in dropbox

pls check

chx

Hello everyone,

i'm trying  to build my filastruder (v1.6) and i must say that the paper manual is .. totally useless
seriously, why provide a so badly printed black and white manual, pictures are nearly impossible to read  ? don't provide a manual and give a card with the link to the pdf it will be more usefull and will save trees
(nooo, i'm not angry at all .. after all i'm French so ... ^^)

Second point, is it me or the 7"/16 - 1/4" drive 6pt socket is not the right piece to adapt to the motor (step11-13 in the pdf manual)? this adapter is too small ... could you please tell me the size of the good adapter ?

Edit : the wood which support the flange is not aligned ... the three parts has been badly glued together so ... i've redrilled the holes but the wood piece need some work to be perfectly aligned, i know that this is a "DIY" kit but ... it seems that this one passed trough your quality controls.

Regards
Flo
