Well now !

I stuffed up my drivewheels when I tried to true it in the lathe.

It happen when you use too big machines for the job.

Wel start sort of from scratch !!!

[Jaco Annandale]

Still busy with the tear down. Will let you know asap. !!

[Jaco Annandale]

Yes please.

Can I come and Pick it up at H4H today? R? I’ll bring
Nelsons.

[Jaco Annandale]

Morning all.

Well I decided to take the whole drive system apart and to re-assemble it again.

I did find the inner rod to have a small problem. it looks like the nuts at the end started to wear out the copper pipe. If you wiggle the pipe a little bit, you can hear the the nuts are loose in the pipe ( ;-> )

I then started to thing about the solid shaft for the inner tube.

Should I have a solid pipe with the inside ends threaded to be M8, and only connect a small piece of threaded bolt to each end? Or should i thread the whole pipe (which would be nearly impossible ).

Hmm I think a picture whould discribe it better !!

Will come back to you !!!

[Jaco Annandale]

Mmmm i’ve got a big Mitco lathe at work. Will definitly try that.

Do you perhaps have picture or specs of the inner rod?

Thanks for all the help

[Jaco Annandale]

I used your HQ settings.

Ok, how tight must the belts be ?

What can be wrong in the drive shaft? Maybe the bilts are too loose?

Thx

Hope you dont mind me chipping in…

I had similar problems. My problem was heating on the A4988. The current was set to the right value.

It worked at the beginning and later on started squealing.

Added a small fan to the top of the stepper drives and it worked.

So check current and check heating.. Hope it helps !!

Much Appreciated.

[Jaco Annandale]

Do you perhaps have a picture of this setup?

Another thing… Do you sell the metal extruder from the Reprap Pro seperatly?

Thanks

A stupid Question :

I have switched to the 1.75mm extruder.
How do I connect the 4mm PTFE bow-den tube to the tool head?

Is there perhaps a tightening cone for the 4mm PTFE tube or am I on the wrong track ?

Thanks

[Jaco Annandale]
