Hey Ian

So have you done the presentation already? How did it go?

Nice presentation, interesting stories and concepts. Is that your feeder idea? the dragnet one?

A few grammatical errors. if you need a proof reader let me know

 

[ian 32]

its done.. last Friday... :-)

.... and I servived !!

Ian ;-)

 

[ian 32]

and yes the dragnet is the system i have on my ultimaker2 and its working... perfectly... :-)

I just want to get smaller belts and bring the whole thing down in size... then its a real winner :-)

 

[ian 32]

But !!

im already cooking up an even better version.... save realiability but lighter and designed to be hotend mounted !.. I think hotend mounted feeders are the best solution.. then bye bye bowden ! :-)

Absolutely!

I've been considering this one by Gregwar.

But your dragnet really appeals to me ...

I'll wait for it.

..... .. . . .

Waiting.. .

Seems like you guys had a lot of fun!

funny to see the pictures you posted in the forums already!

I don't see how the dragnet thingy should be working though, is it also printed with flex pla?

Cheers!

Lennart

Good presentation. However, you need to spellcheck!

As a poor speller myself (native English speaker so I have no excuse), it's unfortunate that misspellings in a presentation give the impression of lack of knowledge, intelligence and/or education when that impression can be quite incorrect. In my case, the US education system wasn't the best when I was in school. It's better now but no where near other countries.

Anyhow, that dragnet feeder is pretty slick. I was thinking of doing something similar where both the idler bearing and knurled bolt are driven but I couldn't workout the geometry that would allow it to be powered by one source while maintaining the ability to adjust it. Seems like you have...

One thing I did I really liked was to replace my UM1's feeder gear set with a herringbone set. It allows very little backlash. If you have backlash, you might considered a similar solution.
