what tread type standard do you find fdm printers like?
@sir_miss_alot I've printed out a lot of different types of threads, some custom ones too. The most important things that i've learned is to make sure that the thread has a chamfer, this makes it easier for the layers to bind as they will have a greater overlap.
Given that most chamfers may not be 45 deg, another thing to do is to use a lower layer height, this improves the overlap between layers and better keeps the shape of the thread.
I guess what I'm saying is that most threads should be possible, but small modifications to them such as including a chamfer if it is a square, and using a lower layer height will improve the printing quality.
Also, I tend to offset the faces of the thread by about 0.1 mm. This is mostly due to the tolerances from the printer. If you make it exactly the same size as the part it is threading into it may not thread or it will get jammed. Leaving a bit of room helps to account for this. You might want to experiment with a few different offset values on your setup to see what works best.
@BenShepperson_637830 ok thanks :)
i had to scale my lid to 104% to get it to work.
Hi,
How do you fix both parts together?
Thanks
@DS_8207 Hi, sorry I missed this message. They screw onto the through plug that comes with the Repbox. I will attach a picture shortly.
Came out great if you follow the settings recommendations on my X1C. The only one not mentioned that I changed was to have the seams set to back instead of aligned.
First set of blades I did PLA and the temp wasn't high enough or something as I got layer separation near the base when I hug things off it. Second set has been in ABS and so far is holding up. (edited)
Was looking for a better option for routing the PTFE out of the enclosure and this design is exactly what I was looking for. Keeps everything clean inside and out of the enclosure. Thank you
I printed v3 with Prusa PETG Jet Black and organic supports. To secure the feeder to the cover I used 2 m3x8 black screws. I had some extras from the enclosure build.
This model looks fantastic! Will be printing it soon.
Thank you very much. I really like your models too. I look forward to seeing how it goes.
