  1. :-)

    ha, shapeways... no, I have the best machine ever at home :-)

    don´t underestimate "highly personalized and build with blood&sweat and lot of effort" made things..

    I think, my GF would like it (as an intermediate solution - of course :-) )

    I think, Markus shall post a detailed "how to" / "ring101" to assist in understanding the polishing procedure - isn´t...

    @Markus - please... imagine, somebody´s future might depend on this...

     

  2. @ jonny, maybe youre remember - I'm basically a mechanical guy having no clue about the electronics... :-)

    Nevertheless, in my former job we used a thyristor bridge to increase/decrease/controll current introduced into a coil (eddy current dynamometer). Therefore I thought it might be the thing for controlling the heated bed instead of the bangbang full-on/off methode...

  3. :-)

    Brute force... yes, that´s right... sometimes needed...

    Reg. the triangular shape mentioned by Burki, I thought also some time ago about a simple but (using "brute force") effective steel wire with a tensioning screw to be placed from one of the top screws of the arm diagonal down to one of the screws on the L bringing some tention into it.... and then I realized that there is a moving head/fan shroud which would give a nice crash... :-(

    @ Jonny, the steel plate idea is good, but I would add a bit "stiffness" in the middle of the table part...

     

  4. My intention was to get the stage stiffer from bending as simple as possible with no additional parts. So to mount you just have to

    - press-fit the two bearings from top

    - mount the other parts should fit as they are currently mounted

    Anyway - as it might be difficult in my workshop to produce the holes for the bearings accordingly, the second approach is to make additional holes from the side and use a nail e.g. to fix them in the horizontal position.

    B.t.w. another possibility: wait for the release of the original UM heated bed and hope that they also included a fix for the table...

     

  5. Great!

    here is a first draft I did a while ago.

    Idea is to just exchange the side arms and keep the other ply stuff as you can see in the rendering.

    Bed Mod

     

    The Alu arms have slots as it is difficult to manufacture the pockets for the stage.

    I have to generate the dimmensional drawings and will post them soon :-)

     

  6. Great to hear Ian!! Congratulation!!!

    Compared to this news my day was boring - but for me great too :-)

    Had the chance to approve the black belt degree of two guys and also the 2nd black belt degree of one of my friends - we had an exam today in our martial arts dojo.

    Next two days will be nice too as we will have training classes, an evening event and competitions this weekend.

    Nevertheless, I'm really proud of my friend... :-)
