Re: V10P Headstock Fiber Gear Replacement
Trouble with silica gel based units is you still have to have a way to dry silica gel :) Depending on whether it has moisture indicator and what chemistry it's based on, some are supposedly safe to

Re: vfd load reactor suggestions?
Greetings guys, I've been following the "reactor" thread with some interest. I too have been using a VFD (TECO FM50) for circa 2 decades on a Maximat 7. I appreciate that my experience does not apply

Re: V10P Headstock Fiber Gear Replacement
I use a food dehydrator to dry out my filament & desiccant packs.? The BEST thing I've come across is the Stacker F-Box: https://stacker3d.com/product/f-box/ This allows you to keep your filament dry

Sounds like me, 100%. There is nothing like needing something on Friday after hours. Necessity is the mother of all invention. Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

Re: V10P Headstock Fiber Gear Replacement
No question, dedicated dryer is easier to use (some of them are not better though - look for heated units)... it's just I'm cheap and also usually need things on friday night when there's no place to

Re: V10P Headstock Fiber Gear Replacement
Looking at Amazon, I see that a filament dryer is only 65 dollars. Maybe getting a dedicated drying unit is not such a terrible idea, unless you have to dry multiple colors at the same time. Get

Re: V10P Headstock Fiber Gear Replacement
Simplest way to do it is to stick the whole role on the printer bed, maybe put it on some sort of standoff so it's not directly on the bed and get it to 50 or so for pla, and I guess 80C for Nylon

Re: V10P Headstock Fiber Gear Replacement
All good advice. I think I can maintain the resolution I need with a .6mm nozzle, and the reduction in print time has been a lifesaver. I probably won't go any bigger than that though. Printing with a

Re: Anyone live in North Florida or South Georgia?
Thank you Vedran! I didn¡¯t know that Keith Rucker was in Tifton, Georgia. Thought he was in the Carolinas. B That is great to know as it is only 75 miles from our place. We actually drive through

Re: Anyone live in North Florida or South Georgia?
Just an idea, you have Keith Rucker of Vintage Machinery fame in Tifton, GA I know claiming to "know" someone from watching his videos is naive at best, but he seems to be a decent guy and he often

Hi Bill, Yes, we would have been neighbors. That¡¯s interesting. Thanks for replying. Seems I am not the only one who would love to find like minded people interested in machining and model

Re: V10P Headstock Fiber Gear Replacement
A cardboard box is a workable enclosure, provided you're around to put out a fire should anything go wrong. Soak the inside before printing, you can blast the thing with a hairdryer to get it up to

Re: vfd load reactor suggestions?
I agree with all that Carvel said and would add that sample of 1 (well two in Carl's case) is hardly a representative one. And it works both ways, if say 99% of the motors are known to run for years

Re: V10P Headstock Fiber Gear Replacement
Hi Jay, I have a Prusa Mk3s, the original nylon test gear was printed with no enclosure on a warm day with the window open to avoid fumes. That one printed extremely well, but it definitely lulled me

Re: Anyone live in North Florida or South Georgia?
Mike, A few years back I lived in Bradfordville area off US319 and probably would have been close enough to drop by and chat over chips with you, but in 2010 I moved to northeast Georgia. Well Georgia

Re: V10P Headstock Fiber Gear Replacement
Ryan, this is a really interesting read. Thanks for all of the information! What printer did you use for the nylon gears? I've been thinking about doing something similar, but unsure if my open-frame

Re: vfd load reactor suggestions?
I can recommend adding a surge protection device at the electric panel for whole house protection. https://a.co/d/2GwZnZX Put one of these on and if your house or utility power supply cable gets hit
