currently assembling the second extruder, meanwhile it passed the first endurance test. not bad for a small 70 gr pancake stepper ...

`Where did you get the gears for? Is there some place where you can get theme, or are they handmade?

Because i maby want to use one of the hot ends with one of your extruders. one just bowden and one direct driver. The bowden for PLA and other and the direct drive for flexible material.

    Handmade so far.

    But I think about having them manufactured if there is enough interest.

     

    Oke really cool, did you make it something like this?

    add 4 minutes he start cutting

    flap, flap, flap ...

    I had some concerns as it's not really working symmetrically, but it looks ok.

     

    Well maybe it look strangely but it is really a good idea. i like it:P

    Ohh and foensturm, do you have some stp files of the extruder, so i can start making the one drirect drive extruder mount for the right hot end?!

    I would be interested. I just got my Nema 8 extruder up and running. You can find the details in your direct drive extruder thread.

    Right now my gear box is substantially heavier, primarily due to the much larger worm gear.

    Looks like you also moved to 5 mm rod for the gear box axle.

    ... some progress. Learned how to print reliable with PLA HT and finished the first dock.

    How does the pancake stepper compare to the Nema 8 motor?

    Well, same weight, almost three times the torque and twice as hot (just kidding, but it can get really hot). Besides this it's comparing apples with oranges: 3 mm vs 1.75 mm, 1:40 vs 13:60 gear, Merlin hotend vs. E3D Lite (which E3d says is not that fast). I still have to conduct some extrusion speed tests.

    And yes I moved to 5mm, which makes things a little easier.

    One thing I didn't expect with the Nema 8 design is that it is way quieter than the UMO stock extruder. I am guessing that is due to the increase in step frequency and decoupling from the wooden frame.

    True, I like that very much. Almost silent, just a gentle "beep" on retractions. It's the same with the pancake stepper and the 13:60 gear.

    Well then I need to take a look at mine extruder it is the loudest part of al?! But do you have some stp file of the extruder for me? So I can edit them for my E3D mount.

    @foehnsturm is the motor that you use the Sanyo Denki SS2421-5041? If so, do you know how the wire colors of it map to the colors/pin out of the UM2 default feeder motors?

    A: Yes

    B: I used red->red, yellow->blue, orange->black, blue->green to mimic the UMO pattern.

    Working on rev3 at the moment which might fit better for your mount (less height). It moves the heavy parts (E3D, stepper) closer to the mounting point.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
