    If you have an idea which extruder would be interesting to fit on here, let me know! Only the files of the standard Proper Extruder are available on my website for now, but I’ll add this version soon :D

      @ZoltanHoppar 2 года назад

      What would be to have to both sides longer X axis, and the connector would be the magnetic like - eg. magsafe connectors... That way would be able to use a set of extruders that the printer could replace automagically in between printing process. Using both sides of the printer as extruder host, and reuse of your invention as flipping between heads - would be really interesting.

    • @l3d-3dmaker58
      @l3d-3dmaker58 2 года назад

      I really think your belt design would be perfect for that, as it doesn't deform the filament while gripping it! I really should give it a try or something similar, like a super grippy neoprene wheel instead of teeth

      Thanks! It was a workaround for the bowden tube that was sticking out, but it turns out to be a good working solution on itself!

    • @AndrewGillard
      @AndrewGillard 2 года назад +1

      Agreed - the M3 screws thing was genius!
      I wonder if a grub screw or two driven into the groove mount _perpendicularly_ (the tip of the screw slightly digging into the aluminium, not cutting threads into it) would have worked well enough... 🤔
      Cutting threads is no doubt stronger, but the heatsink shouldn't see huge rotational forces (or the heat break would … um … _break_ 👀) so grub screws might be enough.
      Grub screws/perpendicular screws might require less force to install, too - I'm not sure I'd trust a FFF-printed part to survive the forces needed for cutting threads :)
      (For other extruders, I mean, not yours; e.g. adding grub screws to a Prusa i3's E3D V6 to stop it rotating)
      Not that it matters much to me - my only printer uses a Hermes-branded Hemera so I haven't had to deal with groove-mount for a while :D
      But I broke the wires of several thermistors and heater cartridges during nozzle changes when I was using the old V6, so I know that pain! 😫

    Something I‘d be really interested in is a diy hotend-extruder combo.
    So a heatsink that’s part of or directly connected to the extruder and has provisions to mount the cooling fan and parts cooling fan to it, so its a single piece that can just fulfill the roles you usually would need a bunch of different pieces for.
    In my mind it also allows to use a 40x40 fan for the parts cooling, so people can go all noctua and have a machine that doesn’t produce any sounds.

    Why did you use a noctua fan for hotend cooling?

There are much better (and at the same time cheaper) options out there.

      @@properprinting They sure are silent, and they look good, but in most applications where flow is obstructed (i.e. there is resistance) the flow drops tremendously. They are also massively overpriced for how they perform. Noctua has a very good PR department, but there's a reason why you don't see them in most professional equipment.
      As for fans, there's a couple of brands that seem to do well: Gulf Electrics, GDS time, Delta and Sunon.
      As an example to illustrate my point:
      You seem to have the NF-A4x10 there? That seems to produce a dBa rating of about 18. Sadly Noctua doesn't actually provide PQ curves, just the two extremes (~8.5 m^3/h flow, ~1.85 mm H2O pressure), still we will try to work with this.
      You don't need to search for very long to find a better replacement part. For example the Sunon HA40101V4-1000U-A99. It has ~9m^3/h flow, and 2.286 mm H20 pressure at the extremes. Typical noise is just 15.7 dBa, and the very best part: They are just 4.87$ in one off quantity (digikey). This was a fan I found quickly just now using distributor search engines, I am sure if you actually put in some effort you can find significantly better fans for the application.
      The best approach would be to do a flow simulation and estimate where on the PQ curve you'd be, so that you can optimize the fan on the specific application. But maybe that goes a bit too deeply into the topic.

      If Im not mistaking, he said he'd design them to be printed with FDM materials aswell in a recent video

      Bedankt! Nee, geen problemen mee. Ik vond het wel wat raar werken, maar uiteindelijk werkt het prima.

    You say the front parts have to be as stiff as possible. For those parts could I CNC them out of 3mm aluminum and print the rest of the parts? The work you've done is amazing great job.

    • @properprinting
      @properprinting  2 года назад +1

      PLA would already be stiff enough, but the stiffer, the better. The parts are thicker than 3mm, so you should stack the plates or modify the design.

    I can't wait to put one of your extruders on my CR-10 Smart. I'm curious, how does the weight of the whole tooling package compare to something like the new Creality Sprite Extruder or the average BMG clone.

    Fit this up with a MCU canbus adapter like an EBB42. Simplify all the wiring.

    8mm injection/compression screw from aliexpress, in a 10x8mm tube, feed the tpu in to the screw at one end and let it spiral down while being heated, like a pellet extruder but without the pellets?
