Thank you for getting it. That is kinda the whole idea. I see so many slap things together but no one mentions the faults with the designs. I wish I had time to post the hours of recent shoots I did. Soon ... I have to finish my videos for graduation students and then I am back on it! Keep the faith! Build it right the first time! I appreciate the compliments very much as this inspires me to make more.
Looking forward to your X axis video. Great work! Just one doubt... Using the foil should the whels just roll without feeling a bump? Is that the point? What would happen if it's too tight? The wheels just stop there? Thanks.
If you can get it at the point of where the wheel doesn't make a noticeable bump but there is a slight something that says you hit the aluminum foil then you have gotten your wheel tolerance to something like 0.06mm if I remember correctly. This way there is no actual pressure on the wheel. If the wheel hits the foil and stops then the wheel is too tight. Its a bit of trial and error to get the feel of it. Thank you for your compliment. I am working on a big series but it is taking some time to edit. All I can say is to make sure your following me so you can get a message when they are up. Thanks again!
Does anyone in the 3d printing community use torque wrenches instead of imprecise methods like this? I've been pounding my head against the wall trying to get a measly torque tension value at least as a guideline! I think they sometimes even give you torque values with IKEA furniture!!! As a Mfg. of these devices, it behooves you to spell these things out so you don't have a lot of returns! It eliminated the guess work!
I watch many videos about 3d printers, but I absolutely love yours, very informative and talk about important things that are not out there.

Did you ever upload the X axis video?

@@3dmojo275 does this also apply for the other 2 V wheels on the Z axis? or do those need to be tight since they are working against gravity?
