Re: 3D printer usage for wood shop
I think the dust port adapter was printed in nylon. Nylon is about twice the price compared to PLA, which I used. Strength wise I don't think the adapter needed to be printed in nylon.
The diamond pattern was needed in order to both loose weight and to be sturdy. By using 30 degree angles I could minimize the overhang at the top of each diamond. 3D printers print layer by layer, so it's hard to print in mid air. Overhang up to approx 45 degree is ok. I learned this lesson while trying to print the below model. The round holes makes the overhang completely unsupported and the print didn't go very well. |

Re: 3D printer usage for wood shop
开云体育the diamond perforated design is beautiful. material cost is very reasonable. IIRC, last datapoint was $20-$30 for the overhead saw guard rectangular to round dust port adapter. maybe it required a more robust material, for obvious reasons. imran On Oct 28, 2020, at 4:40 PM, michael@... wrote:
?Material cost for the 125 mm version is about 5 USD each. I went through some iterations, mostly to learn what I could print. Material cost for those varied from about 3 USD to 8 USD. The cheapest one was also the most complicated because I tried to remove as much material as possible, it took 25 hours to print. <Screenshot 2020-10-28 at 21.38.25.png> <Screenshot 2020-10-28 at 21.38.31.png>

开云体育awesome storage, not to mention the cool factor. beats my poor excuse made with scrap. does not hold RO90 paper. any idea how much these cost in just material? imran On Oct 28, 2020, at 4:08 PM, michael@... wrote:

The coolest thing to me is that the things I create can be tailored exactly for my needs. I have queued a bunch of print jobs with sandpaper holders to the printer. Soon I'll have complete order in my sand paper piles. The measurements for these boxes are made to exactly match my Systainer drawers. 3D printing takes very long time, these boxes prints in about 7 hours each. But the important thing is that they'll print completely unattended. I print at night and prepare the printer for the next job in the morning. <Screenshot 2020-10-28 at 20.57.01.png>

Re: Storage of sheet goods
开云体育joe, Joe not in NO brings a good point about access to both sides and refreshes memories. so i can add a few things: I can say that it was never something that i was pleased with. the purpose of casters for me was never to move it to a machine, rather necessary for me to get it out of the way. nothing i stored on it was too heavy - don’t recall storing full sheets. after having it, i believe, for shorts, best is to find a wasted space and stick it in there. i have a 4’x4’ stair landing ~3’ above floor accessible from one side and i may convert that into a matrix of cubbies for shorts. otherwise bins for vertical storage. for ply cutoffs the cart is just a vertical storage with a leaning wall. can be easily duplicated in a fixed location. just my $0.02. imran On Oct 28, 2020, at 1:58 PM, bacchus6015 via groups.io <joeinno@...> wrote:
?Joe, after I sold the cart like you posted I did what Jason has done and used drywall carts to move and store plywood for projects then put the leftovers on the cantilever rack.? Like Imran said the cart you posted can be hard to move when loaded parts because it is so big it requires too much space as you need to be able to access it from all sides and I remember having several sheets of plywood on it and having a difficult time because the it wanted roll when trying to get sheets from the inside. ? Using that cart really was an exercise in frustration. Joe not in NO

Re: Storage of sheet goods
We have a drywall cart that has a UMHW?base on it, holds 10-15 sheets depending on thickness. It has really nice 5" casters on it, all 4 swivel but 2 have the option to lock straight although we never do. It rolls perfectly across our asphalt driveway, even when covered in walnut tree debris. If sheets are going to be used in short order they just stay on the cart. If storage is needed for a bit longer, I can just unload it straight into the vertical rack. I just slide the sheet off one end, tilt it up on a corner and slide it standing up into the rack. When it's time to use it, slide it out of the rack and tilt it down right onto the saw. The only time I ever lift a sheet is when it's coming off the delivery truck and two of us do that so it's easy.
We also have the Hafele Adapta Cart (tilting one) It's okay, but not nearly as nice for moving stuff around as the other. It's big and clumsy in comparison and the wheels aren't as smooth.
