SD Press - Under the Kimono (Page 10 of 12)

Yeah. My goal was to get a Cyclops working with a press. The only two issues I have is placement of the Cyclops itself and the Temp issue. The Fans and the stepper driver work.

At any rate once I get that squared away, I'll release the updated FW via Github. Just have not figure out how to distro the boards (if anyone is even interested in it, No one has said a word about what I have been doing so far. So I am guessing no one wants it/or cares. *Shrug*)

Really? Huh.

On thingiverse there has been 138 downloads, 15 likes & 23 collects. 0 Mades. On github (Only the bowden folder) 211 views coming from this forum. 391 from google, 32 internally from github, 11 from thingiverse and 1 from filastruder.com.

The most popular content (Github) is the Bowden, The runner up is the Spool holder I made.

Going back are skimming thru the E3D thread, a couple people asked if there was a kit going to be available.

And the folks that did get the mod working seems like they never came back with a status of any kind (pictures or before and afters). I even asked if anyone had any requests of making the parts better a while back. Nothing.

Sorry elmoret I was hoping it was going to drive some sales for you.

Ah. Sorry, Wrong link.

Here you go > https://github.com/ymilord/Solidoodle-P … 0Press.STL

I should have that made later today. Just waiting for an order to arrive with some 40's in it. I thought I had some, But I had every size but 40mm.

Sorry for the mix-up.

Dream-Cypher, Added the 40 in the same folder on github.

As a side note, I was able to get rid of this front to rear 'bounce' I was getting by hitting the 'springs' with a heat gun and shifting them slightly to apply a little bit more force downward. Then applying a 'heathy' amount of grease. This is not a suggestion as a fix as this is a bit 'dangerous' in the sense if you damage the internal plastic springs your are absolutely screwed. The long term fix is to rebuild and use bearings. But that is going to be challenging. And fun.

Yeah, The game plan is to make a new carriage system (Right now I am thinking all sheet aluminum, but that just depends how everything goes). I have all the parts line up and ready. The first thing I am going to tackle is the Z-Mount. (Mine is drooping pretty bad) I got the final measurements of the 'Z-Block' yesterday. I have a bunch of stuff happening at the homestead this weekend, but I should be able to mill out the plate early next week.

I have enough parts to make 4 complete sets and 10 plates of the replacement Z-Mount. Depending how this goes, And if anyone is interested I'll give the 4 complete sets to beta testers and sell the remaining plates... or something like that. I'll revisit that when I get it mounted and working.

I would be very interested in a set of those! Would happily pay. Is everything required contained in your set, or would there be any additional parts required?

Oh man, I would so love to buy one of those sets, the difference between the front and back of my z axis is to the point where I can't print anything bigger than 4cm without it having issues sticking on the front or back.

The completed kit is this (which I only have enough parts to make 4 of) >

The plate only is this (I have enough aluminum to make 10 of) >

The only additional parts would be a set of SCS8UU. Everything else would be harvested from the Press.

I'll start making the prototype on Monday / Tuesday. I'll report back later in the week with pictures and stuff.

I print with my door closed, sometimes I print with the lid propped up for longer print times, however I control the environment that I print in so no drafts, and it stays pretty much 70-75 degrees in that room at all times. Regardless this happens with the door and lid shut. This is on the press.

If you do end up selling a kit, I would be more than happy to buy/try one out for you, MacGyver.
