Hi Mihai! nice to meet you! I love your designs! and I only have a questions, to fix magnets it is neccesary to glue it with something or just are placed with compresion? thanks alot! I have already subscribed and following you in instagram, thanks in advance! and it is really nice that you shows the ammount of iterations that you need to do and test to finnally it is working, because there is alot of persons that think that 3d design it is something easy that take no time, nothing more far of reality. best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
@MihaiDesigns3 жыл бұрын
Hey Tony, how's life in Argentina? I used to have a couple colleagues from there. Thanks for the comment. The magnets are compressed with screws. A bit of an overkill, but is very reliable. Speaking of Instagram, I wonder if I should publish all my videos there as well, or if I should only publish the ones with more general audience, what do you think? And you're right, 3D design takes a lot of time. It's relatively easy to get the initial version out and many people stop there, and that will probably have a ton of problems. Print, next day find problems, iterate, print, next day learn about more problems, repeat many times. I'm sure a lot more could be improved if I was to do a second version with all I've learned from this project. But there are so many projects I want to work on... maybe I'll do a geared extruder design one day that is more compact. Wait, I've got Autumn and you've got Spring? Cool!

Hmm... I might have not used the right wording about that nut. It's for the idler door actually. Works as a lever with MMU and there's a lot of idler door movement with MMU. I guess you could just use a normal hex nut for non-mmu, but there is a small chance that you'll have to re-tighten it every new year or so.

@howlingmine3 жыл бұрын
I'm skeptical. I build a lot of Ericthepoolboy's 1/4 engine models and use magnets extensively in those builds. They are NOT that strong. They are great for holding lightweight parts together in a static environment, but something as heavy as that extruder, that's moving in 2 directions very quickly with sudden directional changes....I don't see how 3 sets of magnets would be enough. I think this is a great idea and is of huge benefit when it comes to general maintenance, but I dont think I'd feel safe with 10 sets of those magnets, let alone 3.
@MihaiDesigns3 жыл бұрын
I get you. The magnets have a small responsibility there. The locking mechanism is more complex than it looks. On my printers the motors would come to a halt long before the extruder would open should it hit a warped print.
