Devblog 9
I made the modeled and printed all the parts!
Designing the filament stand took longer than I originally thought it would, and I ended up having to completly remake it, as there turned out to be a bit of issues with my original design. Mainly that:
- It was too large, and would not fit in my container
- I decided (for now) not to rotate the spools while drying
- It likely break under the load of 2 spools, because of a weak spot
Why not rotate the spools?
Among other than taking up a lot of space, the motors would either be too pricy, large or had way too high RPM, which would be inefficient to slow down. It was hard to find ones that would be readily available, and even then they would arrive too late for me to finish in time
Next changes:
I will now move onto assembling everything together!
Since my last devblog, I also found out, that there is another issue with my PCB. Somehow, I did not fill the zone connecting the trace to the heater pads. While I was able to fix my board manually, I will have to fix this before shipping
