Re: RepRapDiscount "Bulldog XL" Geared Metal Extruder on a Solidoodle 3!

Any chance you had more than one made?
I'd love to have one of those for my bulldog.

I would also be very interested in one. How much?

Even if you would share the file I would be willing to check with the local machine shop to see what it would cost for a run of say 10 or 20.  Setup is the hard part so no sense having just one made.

Re: RepRapDiscount "Bulldog XL" Geared Metal Extruder on a Solidoodle 3!

@Stevos758: I'd be interested in one of these as well if you or wardjr made up a batch... 

@wardjr:  I looked at moving the probe to the left side BUT because it offsets off the built platform when homed, when it goes to do the z-home, it won't work.  Since it offsets by 205mm for the print head to be off the build platform, if I was to offset the probe, it would end up being on the right side anyways smile  The firmware seems to force it to the x/y home position before it allows z-homing.

On a side note, I'm SOOO close on this autoleveling.  Last night got it taking readings from the 4 points, but for some reason it's not raising the bed when ready to print for the offset, so guess I will be digging thru the configuration.h file for a bit sad

ARGH, I may be lying, as after a full power cycle, after I x/y home, for z-home it's going to the center...  not the first time I've seen that where after a firmware upload it does that.

Re: RepRapDiscount "Bulldog XL" Geared Metal Extruder on a Solidoodle 3!

Sorry, I thought I included the STL.

I can check around if anyone finds anything before let me know. I'll text my machining buddy today.

I could do it on mine but it might take ages. I have a larger machine but I don't have it CNC'd yet.

BE ADVISED, Tolerances are not correct on this. Use model at your own risk! I will adjust them as some point soon and get it re posted.

Re: RepRapDiscount "Bulldog XL" Geared Metal Extruder on a Solidoodle 3!

Looks like the probe got pushed out a bit last night while testing, so at a slight angle... but sooo close smile

Awesome, I used to have a buddy like that but he changed jobs. No more free machine work for me! At least until I get my own equipment wink

Re: RepRapDiscount "Bulldog XL" Geared Metal Extruder on a Solidoodle 3!

We came close! Hes going to adjust a few tolerances. I forgot to snap a pic. But from the prototype it will work!

I have to ask him how much per unit. I wouldn't think it would me more than $30-50.

I'll let you know as soon as I have something. He will be back to work after thanksgiving.

That place was like heaven!

Sorry for not following, but why exactly do you need a new mount?  My E3D popped into the stock XL mount perfectly...

The groove in the E3d is larger than standard which allows it to move up and down.  This just has a thicker lip that goes in the groove.

Geez...I'll double-check mine, but I think it locked up solid as a rock...

Note this is for a V5. Not sure if they changed the fit on the V-6

Nope! I have them both in front of me and they have the same dimensions at the mount.

v6 is a little different than v5 in that the first fin is closer to the groove mount.

True but that won't affect this issue.  I am working on some photos to better explain.
