Head-drive motor mount
After two failed prints at 30% (corrupt file on a failing SD card it seems), I got my very own custom motor mount! It's my first custom print (I used Fusion 360) with custom slicer settings and was uncertain of the outcome. I'd previously only printed a Thingiverse Venus Box with stock Cura settings as a familiarisation exercise.
I need to work out the other half of the mount, pivoting in the bottom corner, but it's a step in the right direction.
PLA, 0.2mm layer height, 0.3mm nozzle. |
25mmØ motor and 22mmØ bearing, M8 bolt as shaft, M3 nuts and bolts for clamping. Rubber wheel is from my junk collection, pulled from an old printer.
I want to use ABS in the future (so I can solvent weld parts) but have read that ABS can give off nasty fumes and as my printer is at work (design at night, print in the day and I can keep eye on it) and I don't want to gas the whole department, I should build a fume hood first. The hood with also deaden some of the noise too.
