  1. So, I made my 7812 board to take 19V from the LEDs pins and convert it to 12V to power the IKEA Dioder leds.

    It works!

    It uses 0.22A @ 12V. The heat sink looks kinda overkill, but the 7V difference times 0.22A is still roughly 1.5W and it got pretty hot. Better safe than sorry.

    It works with a manual switch to turn the leds on and off, but is hackable to use Gcode if need be later on.

     

  2. Does the size of the Elco's matter Kit? From what I understand it would only take longer to 'fill up'. So taking a 1000uF in stead of a 10uF? Or will that introduce stability issues? Isn't the 19V already stable and filtered?

    I can't seem to find smaller caps here at home. I do have the 0.1uF though. I also seem to find enough diagrams where they just hook up the 0.1uF's without the elco's.

     

  3. Hm, I see your problem. You have 2 shells, an inner and an outer shell. They are printed and in between infill is printed. But since it's at some percentage, it only prints at certain locations, jumbing from one place to another. Enabling combing would help a bit, but you probably want to use another setting, my bad in advising spiralize.

    You need to check the black magic setting: only follow mesh surface. That's what I use for cookie cutters, it skips infill, top and bottom layers :)

  4. @Sander, Top! Mijn huidige oplossing werkt in principe ook.

    Nee ik bedoelde ook niet dat meenemen naar Ulti-evenings standaard zou moeten worden, maar voor zo'n uitzonderings situatie is het handig om te weten dat jullie beiden op de Ulti-evening zijn :p Maar ik snap gewoon niet dat dit soort dingen kunnen blijven gebeuren. De post heeft er blijkbaar ook een handje van, maar de verpakkingen zijn blijkbaar niet bestand tegen het geweld. Dit laat me wel extra twijfelen over het aanschaffen van een upgrade :(

     

  5. My apologies for the short reply, but I'd stay away from ABS, especially since the fumes are not the healthiest. I also work with kids and print PLA exclusively(or Colorfab XT which is also save).

    As for the robot question. I printed 25 of these with 3 kilo of PLA. Note that I had some failed overnight prints that cost quite some material, and there was plenty left for kids to design some stuff too.

  6. Those things will take a while to get here ;) Also I have no clue whether they live up to the quality. UM2's PTFE were glass fiber reinforced lately. I doubt china stuff is ok quality. Take a look at this topic. 22nd of December there is an Ulti-Evening in ProtoSpace, Fablab Utrecht. Apart from learning usefull things, meeting staff, learning tricks from others, doing small upgrades and meeting and other enthousiasts. I believe Nallath was going to sell PTFE"s without shipping costs if you order in the topic ;)
