Topic: Thought I would show some of my mods......

Hi all.  I lurk here a lot but seldom post - gotta fix that.

I thought that I would show some of the mods I have been working on over the last 6 months or so when I have the time.  My favorites were some custom pieces for a bowden setup.

Future projects include making an extrusion fan or cooler, upgrading the carriages and redo the z-axis though it gives great prints as is.  Still also need to seal the top around the bowden to prevent heat loss.  Oh, and I plan to make a new custom extruder for when the stock SD one goes out even though it is still doing great.

As you can see some of the mods were printed with the SD but most were not. smile

My current project was to convert a old food dehydrator to a filament drier.  Can dry about 3 spools at a time and fits on a desktop.  I can upload some pictures if somebody would like.

Credit goes to Lawsy for the initial idea posted on here for the copper pcb heatplate idea....

Very, very nice.  You should have stayed quiet.  You will now have to deal with the paparazzi.

Its aluminum, so no. Also that's not a QU-BD pad, it is a custom PCB (he even says this in the OP).

I love the top design as well.  I got a party tray from Party City which is a nice fit, but it isn't tall enough, would love to get the STL of the black "sides" on your top.

What's the little switch in the front bottom right corner for?

Pretty  sure that's an on/off switch so he doesn't have to pull the cord to turn it off.  Installed mine in the same place.
