LOL it gets going and the thermal sensors flying all over the screen...all I can think is the processor screaming "JESUS MAKE IT STOP!! IT'S ALL ON FIRE! ALL. FIRE!" lololol
It's moving down at like 1mm/s! Because it's could do a perimeter about 2.5x a second, assuming a layer height of 0.4mm. You probably use something different though... Anywhere I can find the parameters used for this video? I know it won't translate to my printer, I just wanna know for science lol
I was wondering would you be able to set your printer upside down? Such that the moving mass is on the lowest point possible to see if it would improve printing quality? Could printing upside down eliminate ringing and ghosting?
Not yet, but I have a plan for the full release of all the upgrades after being tested thoroughly. You will notice! Still working on some stunning things to come.
There is one thing that interested me about many of these builds, how much power does a printer like this draw when running at full speeds like this? :) Just a weird thing I thought of would be fun to know :D
Actually not that much! If my crazy delta fans are not in action (like here it’s only low powered 24V 4020) it’s roughly 120W total power consumption ☺️
I wonder, now that you reached those speeds, which is the bottleneck? My guess would be the hotend not being able to extrude enough material, since you're already printing at 310°, but i could be wrong.
Oh, there are some yes. The rigidity of the frame and the print bed, hotend insulation and extrusion flow. Limit for constant flow is around 40mm^3/s right now (layer height/width = 0.1/0.4mm).
Bolt the machine to a plate of steel to lower the center of gravity? The frame seems rigid but the machine is creating more inertia than the weight can support.
