Props on making the PCBs open source! Given the cost to iterate on something like this I could understand not wanting to make it open source, but I think learning resources like these are really helpful for everyone interested in trying something similar. I would hope that anyone who learns from these resources consider supporting you in some way, even just a small amount, because the amount of support projects like this receive is usually tiny relative to the amount of help they provide.
Regular ABS. Gantry and other inner parts exposed to high heat is Paramount ABS, except the stealthburner front which is polymaker glitter ABS. Outer black parts are eSun ABS+ or Polymaker ABS, and outer orange parts are Paramount ABS or ASA.
Did you validate the air quality sensors by running the unit with no filter media installed? I've seen really crappy results from sensors like this before.
The Max and stealth Max are taking the air outside the chamber. Does that mean it lovers your maximum chamber temp or just takes longer to heat up additional air?
It might lower the maximum chamber temperature in theory, but I didn't notice any chamber temperature differences. It can actually help the heat times in theory. It will recirculate the air, so it should help the chamber heat up faster like a bed fan. I turn my filter on after the print starts so I didn't test this.
@stefa168 Nope. I've been running it for a few days constantly printing, no artifacts. Largest object I printed is 155x155x65, 4 in a plate, twice. Printed nicely.
@IsiksTech I can't decide what's better stealth max or some filter inside the chamber like V6 or rebreather XL. I'm not printing 247 so I don't think I need bigger carbon volume but my goal is to print higher temp materials and I'm not sure if Max can handle that. what would you recommend more?
I'm pretty happy with the Max, but keep in mind I only used it for a few days and with only ABS. But I didn't observe any noticable chamber temperature issues. I like the max/stealthmax more for the extra filtering capacity and the sensors, so I can actually know when to replace the carbon. It theoretically filters better too, since it also has HEPA filters. In-chamber ones have their advantages too, like bed fan like air circulation and theoretically no air leaving the chamber keeping the temperature higher. I use in-chamber filters on my Micron and Voron 0.2. They work fine. Even without constant printing, I feel like I need to replace the carbon really often, so the bigger basket is really nice. But Max/Stealthmax is much more expensive too, so if you want something that will get the job done and don't want to pay for nice-to-haves, micro/rebreather is fine too.
I have no idea how anyone builds the max and stealth max. There’s NO documentation of any value at all, no guides (other than this one) etc. No one even answers questions in the never more discord. 🙄

Awesome work Isik! Looking forward to your stealth max mods.
Haha! There's a secret about the Stealthburner, but what's hidden behind this post it note? :)
Great video as always, thank you!
Interesting mods! What material did you use for the gantry and frame pieces? Looks like CF ABS or ASA to me
Regular ABS. Gantry and other inner parts exposed to high heat is Paramount ABS, except the stealthburner front which is polymaker glitter ABS. Outer black parts are eSun ABS+ or Polymaker ABS, and outer orange parts are Paramount ABS or ASA.
@@IsiksTech Good to know thanks!

Tested them before, they work fine.
Hello again :)
What do you think of CHAOTICLAB?
CNC Voron Tap V2, compared to the other 'aluminum' CNC TAP)? THANKS
I have no experience with them. I like the CNC'd parts more than plastic in theory but I don't know if the ones on the market have any downsides.
Very nice pcb, will it also work for the stealth max?
Max PCB will work but no way to mount it in a stealthmax. I'm also working on a Stealthmax version.
Sensor PCB will work with both.

@@IsiksTech Cool, so turning it on after the start of the print doesn't bring any ABS print artifact? Like delamination, detachment or deformation?
@stefa168 Nope. I've been running it for a few days constantly printing, no artifacts. Largest object I printed is 155x155x65, 4 in a plate, twice. Printed nicely.

And still missing pre filter and HEPA filter lol
