I had/have a similar problem in the drawer under my printer which is about 4-5 bins away from being solved in the same manner. Just need a couple more almost-empty spools to burn up printing bins! Love Deutsch connectors!

Since my last post, I've pushed about another 2kg of PETG through my Ender 3 Max Neo without any printer-related problems, so I'm fairly certain I've got the heat creep issue fixed, at least at the speeds I'm printing. Bumped accel/decel up a bit on the Sonic Pad (2000 up to 2500), doubled the...

What kind of accuracy do you need? Are we dealing with something like head bolts, or are you dealing with something less critical where fastener condition is going to introduce a ton of error and something like +/-10% accuracy would be perfectly adequate?

Is that a part which is a reused component across a number of assemblies?

I have a nice stack of these...they're dirt cheap and awesome

I remember asking you about Injection molding a year or two ago, I think when you were starting to make large filament orders. It seems like you have a high-mix/low-ish volume business which makes a print farm a really good fit. Glad to see it taking off like it is

Same feeling here after getting mine hooked back up the other week. After printing those big bins I burned through the remains of 3 partial spools printing gridfinity bins. I was happy with how well the sonic pad and printer finished the gcode line, moved away from the print while keeping...

Second bin printed great with the temp bumped to 240. Touch of warping in thr same corner, but really happy with it. The layer separation was fixed. First bin had the inner walls at 60mm/s and outer at 40 being conservative and to avoid having the print shake loose. Bumped inner and outer up...

Overall it was the most successful large print I've done. Some minor warping on two corners and a few layers pulled apart on the front right corner, but I realized this morning that somehow the nozzle temp was overridden to 220 instead of 240. Judging by the amount of filament left, I think...

When I installed the sprite direct drive extruder a couple years ago, there wasn't an obvious and easy way to retain the filament sensor, so the answer has been "I've got to watch it and keep track". Last week I finally made a mount for the filament sensor and added an e-chain, so after these...

I also weigh spools and then re-weigh to figure out what's left. I used to track use on paper or on the side of the spool, but that would get inaccurate when I would fight under extrusion issues. Pretty much halfway through the print. About 550-600g used. Layers should start getting smaller...

It's been a while since I've been active in this thread. Need to spend some time catching up. A 22month old toddler keeps me firmly in the "do more, document less" mindset when I'm working on hobby stuff. Still have my Ender 3 Max Neo, although we've had bit of a love/hate relationship over...

Sounds like you've got it figured out, but you could always add some adjustable leveling feet under the boxes mid-span. Retract them when you need to move it then extend once in place for support

If you want an excuse to buy something to "fix" the empty rail positions, buy an Ernst socketboss rail set for your impact set, label them to match your socket set, and fill any empty positions with impact universals in your most-used sizes.

I always say my M12 non-fuel 3/8 drive ratchet was unexpectedly my favorite tool purchase. Great trigger control and the led light puts light just where you need it. It paid for itself the first time I had to reach elbow-deep into the bilge of my boat to loosen a hose clamp
