[M] X Arm and Tool Bar
07/05/2022 at 21:55 • 0 commentsTool Bar
Before going to the mini Z axis assembly in the X Slider, I wanted to look at modelling a concept Tool Bar.
I added the Selects and a few Slights to check alignment.
There's enough space for an 82mm tool and can be extended further if needed.

(said with a Japanese accent, referring to the anime Ex-arm)
More space needed
Some shuffling later and I got somewhere towards a better solution.
Some more refining and I got the above. I was able to go down to 140mm, which is 20mm shorter than where I started. I also brought the 150mm linear rail back for component stiffness.
V Axis
Now I need to figure out why multi axis CNC's need so much torque for rotational axes in the first place and then obtain a solution that fits in the space provided.

[M] Alignment tweaks
07/05/2022 at 16:37 • 0 commentsI've made the Y axis slider top and bottom faces of the cover symmetrical with the y axis tube. Not sure if it's added any visual appeal, but it has gained me 17mm of Z height. I now have an estimated 428mm from an 838mm distance from the bottom of the lower frame tubes to the top of the higher ones. This means I may achieve a 390x640x390mm build volume with the supervolcano melt extender.
I've also increased the distances of the Z beams from 750mm to 810mm now that the bowden tubes will be routed differently.

[M] Continuing X slider and finding a new bowden route
07/05/2022 at 15:16 • 0 commentsNext was the rail, and wow a HGR20 rail that's 150mm looks short.
It doesn't look like HGR20 is going to work all that well, so I swapped to HGR15.
Thought it was a good time to import the new slider into the main file and finally apply slider joints instead of rigids to the Slimes.

[M] Slime branding and SecSavr name?
07/05/2022 at 00:43 • 0 commentsAs I was staring at the gantries inside the SleepCinema, I had an idea for the way I'm going to do the Slime branding.
I originally wasn't so keen on this new Slime shape that was needed for the camera, but I'm liking this design change now.
Anyway, I also wanted to see what adding 3 dots would look like:

[E2][M] The New Y Axis Slider
07/04/2022 at 15:03 • 0 commentsStarting the new design
These changes are due to the tubing I'm switching to coming in specific sizes. The Metal Store will still cut them to length if needed, but I assume that if I needed 1.1m, I'd have to pay for a 2m length.
