Hi, did you try to bend AISI 304 for example? Would it survive? Thanks

Hi. I havent done any stainless but it all comes down to thickness. Im sure you cant do 6mm but 2-3 ? Maybe ill try it some day, let me know if you do :)

@@randomrouting Hi, just for update. I did a test with the V50 version and Stainless 3mm. bends without a problem, S355 4mm. bends without a problem. One more great benefit with this tool is that when using brushed stainless or anything that you don´t want lower tool marks on the products, that is the way to go👌👍 Great job, great success !

Nice work making this tool, I've printed some TPU inserts for our brake but haven't messed with making rigid tooling yet. We do have some Rolla-V tooling, it's impressive that you got this to work. I'd love to see how this printed version functions in more of the specific use cases that this type of die is sometimes used for. This seems like it works well for keeping the tooling from marring the workpiece but will it work in the other situations that the more industrial versions of this tooling is good for. I've used Rolla-V tooling for a few different reasons: 1- To help form perforated sheet accurately. In normal tooling the bend will 'jump' to the path of least resistance when forming perforated sheet. The back pressure created by the springs in Rolla-V tools basically clamp the material in place before the bend starts so it cant slip into the path of least resistance. 2- To help prevent 'pooching' when your bend line is not perpendicular to the edge of the sheet(like a miter at the end of a bend) 3- To help form very short flanges. In the tooling that I use(The smallest version available of Rolla-V) we can get a .125" ID bend on 16g steel. I love seeing printed tooling for press brakes, keep up the good work!

@randomrouting 2 жыл бұрын

Hey. Yes these would be good for all those reasons. Ivve done tons and tons of parts with them and short flanges and/or support around the bendline is one of the big benefits. Most likly wont do AS SHORT flanges as the rolla-v but probably not far from it. Ive got some older footage and I have recently designed one for the 40mm V-die for the Amada so Ill post a vid on that at some point. 👍

Link is at thingyverse (link in the description) but it seems the site doesnt work when u'r browsing from abroad? You could just find something similar locally. Diameter is 3mm, contracted length is 25mm(including hooks at the ends), max length 85mm. Force from 0,4 to 4.1N linearly. You could use pretty much anything even semi close to that, as long as it fits in the holes and 'somewhat' correct length and you should be fine. Dont forget to use some type of lube for the die tho, i use dry ptfe. And no need to apologize, we've all done that journey and you have the best bits infront of you! I owe so much to youtube/internet-community sharing that I could never contribute enough to pay that back. Good luck with the new business!

@randomrouting 2 жыл бұрын

Not sure. It was probably a nice even number staring off. They went trough quite a few iterations where some times I rescaled the parts, probably by some procentage. Every other size is a derivative of which ever was first so thats probably why both models have the same radii.

This is a great little concept. Some questions on the 50mm print. 1) which orientation is the main body on the 3D printer. It seems the tubes in the main body for the spring will need support material which after doing the first print is impossible to get out. Also, the site you linked to at Thingiverse for the spring doesnt appear valid. Any sources in the US for the springs. Thanks

@randomrouting 2 жыл бұрын

The 3d file for the 50 (on thingyverse) is a "print stack" that has two sets bundled and they print vertically. There are modeled supports of the far ends of the "tunnel" that easily snap off. Thats all thats needed. The link for the springs seems to work when i try it. I dont have any knowlegde of suppliers in the US.

Wow this is so smart, am currently also working at a sheet metal factory designing 3d printed presses and dies. How do you calibrate the ammount of tonnage to press?

@randomrouting 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Like any special die I guess, so it depends on the machine. You could use the distance between the points of rotation as a crude V-size to start off with but you still have to adjust values. On the durma I just did tests and saved the values for each angle/thickness as preset programs, on the Amada I used the pendant to jog down until i got 30,45,90 ect and saved those values in the controller, its then more of an positional control rather than tonnage. After that you'd just adjust for material like any other die. Good luck! 🤞😁

Guess the beyeler is my best option but the trumpf would be very nice for allot of different parts. I already printed a R20 tool and bent 4mm steel which was quite impressive. Still need to find a way to accurately calculate the right values for the different materials. Now everytime I need to make adjustments in degrees for the first part. The factory has small batches of highly complex parts so need to find the best way haha. Thanks allot for your reply, very cool you use Prusa aswell :D

@randomrouting 2 жыл бұрын

Hi. Im great, hope you are aswell. I think a 4mm flange in 1.5mm steel might be difficult. If you took the size35 and scaled the V size down a bit (distance between the center of rotation) it would probably work. With the size 35 alot of pressure would be exerted outward horizonally away from the center and thereby possibly pushing the folding pieces out of their position.

@popcatzoo 2 жыл бұрын

what's the point of this die? does it prevent deformation around holes?

@randomrouting 2 жыл бұрын

Among other benefits yes. If you look at the slots in the 6mm alu at the end and the distance to the bendline, that would look terrible with a traditional die. Really short flanges are also possible with a die like this. Look at "wingbend" or "rolla-v" on youtube for the steel equivalent, they highlight pretty much everything.

How do you like the durma brake?

@randomrouting 3 жыл бұрын

Its sold and honestly it was a mixed bag. Mostly because of the rep that sold it to me (long story) but also there were some things that werent great. It had a wierd noise when warmed up so the hyraulic pump had to be replaced, Belts on the X-R axis were too tight from the factory and caused alarms. Makes you wonder about the QC. The controller DT15 was a joke. Its probably fine for super simple stuff but there were plenty of bugs and wierd behavior. Alot of it got fixed with software updates but not all. If you are serious about what you do dont get the DT15. As a side note, the machine came with DBend (durma licensed metalix mbend) offline software. HOWEVER, of all the controllers the software supports, durmas own DT15 is the only one that cant show images on the screen. So you have no idea how to orient the part unless you print out the report. Also running around with usb sticks is not very 2021. It did have network port but not used for connectivity. Go figure. It did the job tho. It was alot less expensive then the Amada (obviously) so I guess its not all bad. Perhaps it was just a lemon. Probably wouldnt buy one again tho.
