- Join me as I clean the supports from two freshly printed Dactyl ergonomic split keyboard cases.
The ruby red case will go to the lucky winner of this month's winner of The Board Podcast giveaway competition for best keyboard-related love poem!
Very interesting video filled with useful info. Thanks a lot!
Hi, I'm doing further customisation and wondering how you generated the bottom plate, don't if you can share your code?
Im aware im late to this party. The support material (adjusted for missing part) comes to around 8oz which is a bit less than a quarter of a spool. Works out to around 4.50 from a 20 spool (im in the uk so its £ for me)
It's a lot of waste, in any case. Over time I have reduced that some by manually tuning my supports. I plan to make some more build videos in the near future, so keep an eye out for that.
Hey, I am planning to build a dactyl. Which one will be cheaper to print? Dactyl or dactyl manuform? And any ETA on printer friendly design?
What kind of camera are you using?
The picture quality is great.
The main camera is a Logitech C920 webcam. The inset is just the built in camera on my laptop.
Can you tell, please, what printer did you use and what settings for supports you applied?
I print on a mix of Prusa and upgraded Ender machines. The key for good supports was setting vertical offset to 0.25mm and turning down the extrusion width to .35mm. They should clean away easily at those settings. Be sure to test on a smaller print first!
where can i find an easy workable file? I'm pretty new to design and i use fusion but i have problems working on STL files
The Dactyl is "written" in Clojure, then transpiled into OpenSCAD which is used to generate the STL files. I don't know what fusion supports but OpenSCAD can export a few other formats so maybe you could try one of these. In Dactyl's github you have the OpenSCAD files pre-compiled if you don't want to bother setting up Clojure.
For the Manuform apparently they're using python and FreeCAD instead, but I haven't looked very closely at it.
Man, I've tried 4 times printing dactyl mamuform. The last one was imposible to remove suports any tips?
Yes! I've learned a lot since this video. (Printed a few dozen of these since then!)
The main thing is to open up the slicer setting for the support offset. I use PrusaSlicer, which calls this Contact Z Distance. I set mine to 0.3mm for these cases now.
Also, you want to do some tests to make sure you're not over-extruding, as that will close up the offset gap and make everything harder to remove.
i'm newish to printing and mostly do parts that don't require support. What type of supports did you use for this?
I'm using standard Prusa Slicer supports, spacing at 3mm. Set your vertical offset to 0.3mm and turn support extrusion down to like 80% of normal and they will release much more easily.
@@diykeyboards2522 really appreciate it!
@@diykeyboards2522 how do you adjust the support extrusion to80% cannot find this setting
@@TacoMental In PrusaSlicer, you'll find it under Print Settings > Extrusion Width > Support Material. It can be set to a specific width or a percentage.
@@diykeyboards2522 do i set it to 80% or 80% of the default value?
