Is this also a spot to be able to get someone to print speaker rings for me? I have all the dimensions from the manufacturer website. I was looking for MDF rings, but I like the idea of plastic ones better. Someone can PM me if needed.
Thanks

rough idea is 3 per shelf. 3 shelves populated per rack at full pop. pulling a 20a circuit per rack seems correct to future proof at 150w allowance per printing printer. allows for a printer or two to be heating at any given time.

27 printers total is crazy to think about. at 1,5kg a print a day that would be about 40kg a day burn. 88 lbs. a 90 day supply would be 3600kg. almost 4 tons. which now we're getting into a containers worth of filament for a year supply.

Couple prints in this project that's finally nearing completion

Powermatic 1150 drill press with a 3 phase motor. Put in a vfd to manage the 3 phase side, but then using the HZ control to give extra speed control(on top of the mechanical control via variable pulley/Reeves drive), but also have LED buttons, rotary disconnect, directional switch and not yet functional spindle RPM.

kinda sorta done.jpg

bushing and box.jpg

Both face plates printed, the enclosure for the bottom face plate is also printed, as well as the orange pass thru wire grommet/bushing complete with sharpie color change from orange to black where it's visible lol. Printed in orange so it was easier to see in the dark box and highlight it was there when I open this back up in 3 years and have forgotten all I did :). The holder for the spindle speed magnetic pickup sensor has iteration 1 on the printer right now

@jeepxj Do you have you a thread for your whole setup? Seems like you can justify one.

this is the rough plan I have laid out. 3- 60" long 24" deep shelving units.

in blue here.

24x24 is the sump pump corner top right. top left is my safe.

72 x 36 work/ packing table.

if i can find a 36x24 unit i'll put it in here for more storage space

Make sure you pay attention to air quality and fire detection/suppression.

Looking forward to see what you think of the filter. For now I've just been running my HRV constantly when printing as it draws the exhaust air from the same room, but I would like some sort of filtration system instead of just relying on that.

not sure how much truth thre is to the onboard sensor but it thinks it did a bang up job.

Just got the Bambu PS1 and right out of the box, just plain works.

My question is about printing a simple bin. Any suggestions on nozzle size, print speed or any other settings to reduce print time.
I plan on printing a bunch of these in different sizes and looking for help on balance of time vs quality of print.

Bins will 2x2x2 up to 10x4x2 and everything in between

Currently I have the .4 nozzle and this will use the PLA Basic.

Thanks for any help.

Start with default settings then start adjusting stuff as you go and look at the results in print quality and speed, then iterate from there.

I haven't printed any bins on the Bambu yet, but when I was running them on the Prusa I was running with .6 CHT nozzle and bumping up extruder temps a bit to push more flow

What size bed heaters are you running that you can get away with 150w/printer? The small 12v heat bed on my old 3d printer is 120w. The AC heatbed on my larger 300mm^3 printer is 750w.

this is from others posting about it. but during the heat up phase it runs it up hard. then stabilizes to just maintain temp.

how many we talking? the E3D .6 CHT nozzle absolutely rips on PETG. with PLA it'd be even faster.

this is a PETG print i just kicked off. 10 hours for 600g of filament

10-20 right away, I'm sure many more as I get to each of the drawers for measurements. But it would be nice to print faster on other parts.

Is this what you are talking about?
https://www.bondtech.se/product/bondtech-cht-coated-brass-nozzle/

Or this?
https://e3d-online.com/products/bondtech-cht-v6-nozzles

What about High Flow Hotend?
https://e3d-online.com/products/hf-obx-bambu

When I google the E3D .6 CHT nozzle I get lots of hits, seems this is sold made / by many.

Thanks

Kevin

sorry - this guy: https://e3d-online.com/products/hf-obx-bambu is what i run and can churn out a good chunk in a go. what used to be 3 walls is now 2 thick walls.

you could also take your .4 factory and just dial the speeds up dramatically. also with acceleration. and max cubic mm/s

If you're running a Bambu you need the last one as it's a complete hot end setup. The first 2 are nozzle only's for printers that just swap the nozzle such as Prusa

Thank you both for the correct part selection if I decide to go that route, hopefully this helps others

Is the UK web site the only / best place to get this? Seems with shipping it is about $100

honestly how much you really going to be printing? how quick do you need stuff?

you can push that .4 a bunch still if you're just using the OEM profiles.

I'm on another board talking about printer flow rates. The cht nozzles are getting some good numbers over there too.

Biqu's "lite" hot end has some huge flow numbers. Works especially well on corexy machines where the lighter extruder helps too.

I'm working on installing one of their v2s extruders on my test machine.

I'm with XJ...start printing and see how it does, then swap to a .6 nozzle and see how far you can push before you hit the limit of the hot end. Then decide if the 100 bucks on the nozzle is worth it
