Air is directing air instead of a physical wall directing air. I experimented with some other air duct designs and the kapton tape version still gets good layer adhesion while a couple designs I printed out did not.

I would consider creating a single 12v supply rail rather than several down convertors less points of failure on heat critical parts.

@NathanBuildsRobots 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, I used one DC converter that runs all three 12v fans. Most videos I have seen use 3 separate fans, which isn't really necessary. The downside is that I can't control them independently through the main board, but Noctuas are quiet enough that it isn't a big deal. I also have a backup fan in the PSU. I considered adding a 12v relay that would automatically turn the machine off if there was a fault in the 12v line.

Thanks for posting this, mistakes and all. I've got the Ender 3 V2 as well. I'm taking very small steps to increase print speeds. First I've ordered 0.6mm and 0.4mm nickel plated copper MK8 nozzles. This should allow better heat transfer. The next upgrade will be a dual drive extruder, and upgrading both fans with a better part cooling duct. Looks like you've achieved some awesome print speeds while maintaining quality, well done.

@NathanBuildsRobots 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! The hope is that you laugh at, then learn from my mistakes. I will have to look into copper nozzles, looks like a good way to increase heat transfer. In your quest for speed, here is some data to help you along: I put my first upgrades on when assembling the printer: Metal extruder (instead of the plastic one it ships with), Capricorn tubing, and yellow bed springs. With that setup I could get ~6mm/s with 0.4mm nozzle and ~13mm/s with 0.8mm nozzle. Now that I put the volcano on I'm getting 20mm/s with no issues yet on the 0.6mm nozzle. I may be able to push it to 40+mm/s since the kit I bought came with nozzles up to 1.2mm. But with each increase in speed, I have a decrease in fine details and quality. And an increase in filament expenses!

@NathanBuildsRobots 3 жыл бұрын

The main reason: this was my first mod where I changed parts on the hotend and I wanted to keep the old components so I didn't mess anything up. You only really need to upgrade the cartridge if you are sustaining very high flow rates or printing high temperature filaments. I haven't got there yet but I'll be testing out some high flow hotends soon that I'm super excited about. I have a couple from Phaetus and one from MicroSwiss. I'll use some 64 watt cartridges so I can push over 60 cubic mm/s, then eventually past 100 cubic mm/s with a crazy double heating cartridge setup that is currently in the works. I would really like an LED hooked up to the heater cartridge so I can see when it's on and off. That way i could easily see if the cartridge is working at its limit.

My hotend temps I use for 205C and my extruder step speed is 93 Steps/mm. And my print is with stock parts aside from a modified firmware to make leveling adjustments slightly easier.

@martingaete8098 Жыл бұрын

Play with retraction settings, I set mine at 8 mm (in cura); the default value was 6 mm if i remember well; also make sure to clean the brass gear that pushes filament into the heat block and verify that the filament is well tightened between the brass gear and the metal wheel; you can achieve this by tightening the allen screw connected to the spring of the extruder mechanism, if you need more tightening, you can replace the stock screw for a larger one. Hope it helps

The specific parameter you want to change is "X_BED_SIZE" and "Y_BED_SIZE" If you're really lucky (and don't want to spend 10 hrs figuring out how to configure Marlin correctly) you might be able to find a precompiled firmware file that you can just download, put on a flash card, install into your V2, restart the printer, and your done.

Anything with a longer meltzone will increase print speeds. Dragon with cht should be able to push 32-40 mm^3/s vs your current setup can probably only do 24.

I'm working on modding my Aquila now, one video will be out in the next couple of days where I put on a direct drive extruder kit from microswiss, then another will be out in 2 weeks whew I put on a dragonfly HF hotend from Phaetus.. The hotend heatsink, hotend mounting, heater block, motherboard mounting, power supply, and fans are exactly the same. The glass bead thermistor was glued in on my aquila using some kind of thermal glue. It took some force to pull out and I could have damaged the thermistor if I wasn't being careful. Most hotend kits come with a replacement thermistor, but some want you to reuse the stock one, so just use caution.

Does the V6 hot end work with all of the E3D nozzles, or do you have to buy the volcano hot end to use volcano nozzles? 3.

You can download the models for things other people have made. www.thingiverse.com/tag:aircraft Once you know how to print and want to make your own designs, Fusion 360 is a free CAD software that is quite powerful, and can be downloaded for free. The modifications I did in this video prioritize speed over quality. For aircraft you usually want light, thin structures, so I'd just set the printer up and print some stuff with it as a stock build. If you want more speed you can start looking into mods like in this video. Good luck with your grandson!

I got noctua fans as well but there is something different in mine, its a 3 pin instead of a 4 pin, would that affect the end result?

@NathanBuildsRobots 2 жыл бұрын

Good question. 3 and 4 pin fans have lines for power, ground, and fan speed. The fan speed line alternates between a low and high voltage as the fan spins, which your PC interprets into fan speed. The 4 pin fans have an additional line that is a PWM speed control line. It basically a signal line that lets you set the throttle of your fan between 0% and 100%. Most 3d printers can throttle the part cooling fan, but this throttling is done on the motherboard by turning the power line on and off rapidly using PWM. For all 3d printers that I have worked on, you only use the power and ground lines (for Noctua fans this is normally the yellow and black wires, yellow is the ATX standard color for 12v). As 3d printing technology gets better we may see 3 or 4 pin connectors being used, but for now they should be the same.

From what I can see, you didn't get your nozzle screwed all the way up to the heater block. I would have backed the heat break out a little so that I could get the nozzle butted all the way up to the heater block, as some thermal transfer to the nozzle will be lost otherwise.

@GravityDragon 2 жыл бұрын

So he did do this correctly. You leave that bit of space so that it in fact doesn't bottom out on the block, and it ensures that it's tightened against the heat break, which is critical. If there is a space between, or it's not tight enough, it can make a gap the filament will end up in, resulting in a horrible jam. Minimizing the amount that it is away from the block isn't going to hurt, but it should never butt up against the block.

@NathanBuildsRobots 3 жыл бұрын

You should consider the voxelab aquila, it's pretty much the same machine at a lower price. I made a video where I compared the two. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibN8f5Bim6y1h58.html The stock printer works great, it's worth trying it out so you have a baseline to know what the upgrades are doing. With the 0.6mm volcano nozzle I put on in this video you gain speed by lose some ability to print fine details. With an all metal hotend you can print higher temperature materials, but can increase the chance of jamming. With direct drive you get better control over extrusion and can print flexible plastics, but you have a heavier hotend and get slightly more ghosting because of it. So most upgrades are really trade-offs. The stock setup is a pretty good all rounder, and I've found that it outperforms my modded printers in some aspects. It's better (and cheaper) to identify a need first, then pick the right upgrade. But then again, I'm guilty of buying a bunch of upgrades and putting them on right away.

I would get a larger mk8 nozzle instead of the v6 clone, swap the old 4010 or the new 3010 to a noctua and try out klipper if you want to go faster. The biggest bottleneck you should have is the stock extruder and nozzle, not the hotend.

@NathanBuildsRobots 3 жыл бұрын

My biggest gripe with the stock hotend is the fan noise. The small heatsink with densely packed fins is optimized for a loud high static pressure fan. I used Noctuas on another one of my builds with the stock hotend and noticed a slight increase in operating temperate compared to the stock fan. I experimented with 0.6-1.0mm mk8 nozzles and I was running into issues with the plastic not melting fast enough. It would push through the hotend with ease, then hit a wall where the plastic wouldn't melt fast enough and it would start to underextrude. You can fix the issue with a stronger extruder, but it's only masking the fact that your hotend is not transferring enough heat to the plastic (in my opinion). That's where the volcano comes in. I definitely have Klipper on my radar if things to add next, and linear advance. I think implementing both of those on my printer would be time well spent.

You might be right on this one. If I had a flow meter I could test this theory out. The is a cheap way for me to test fans against each other: put them on opposite ends of a sealed box blowing against each other, and use smoke to see which one prevails. This would be a test of static pressure, so I could test 2 stacked fans vs a single fan and see which one wins. I imagine the first fan boosts the pressure a little bit, then the 2nd fan boosts it a little more so I get better static pressure. Kind of like the compressor on a gas turbine, lots of fans in series to increase pressure.

@NathanBuildsRobots 2 жыл бұрын

If you short something out it can fry the board easily, thats the only thing you really have to watch out for. There are actually a number of fans that are quieter and don't need a power converter. You just have to make sure to get 24v fans instead of 12v fans. Here are a couple examples: Motherboard Fan: amzn.to/2VHhzeM Hotend Fan: amzn.to/3lSKHL6 Except on the power supply, the power supply uses a 12v fan (you might be able to use a 24v if you short out a zener diode but it sounds like that is something you would want to avoid) But at the end of the day the easiest way to do it is to get a printer that comes stock with silent fans. I have heard the artillery sidewinder is pretty quiet since it uses a different kind of heated bed. Basically the bed uses AC power instead of DC, which takes a lot of load off of the power supply. amzn.to/2VPrBLb They just came out with an X2 version which I would probably get instead of the older one I linked to, but they are both good. The X2 has an optional bed leveler.
