Tank3d printer build

[Robin Hewitt]

By the way i would like to remind you that this will be open source so if sb needs some CAD, meanwhile i am finishing the drawing just drop me a line[/B]. I draw in Nx and can send you solids.

Can you send me this as a .stl file
I don't need cable chain, I am just curious if my prints come out the same as yours.

Here are how parts come from the printer i use now, meanwhile waiting for the Prusa MK2. I use PlA 3d850, setting same as normal PLA but 230C instead of 200C, 50% infill, 0.4mm nozzle, 40mm/sec as the printer is very wobbly. Outside rectilinear. Parts are very strong.




Here are the files that are most possibly final for now. Note that the link still needs work, for now i heat with hot water when mounting together, then use pliers to straighten and when cold works perfectly.

I am halfway through a print, I will do a couple of links when it finishes

Check that one too. I just finished adjusting the link pins, as they were too long i think and as i said assembly had to be done under hot water. And i broke some mean while . Due to the newly introduced slot which was supposed to help mounting it together.


I am just going to print that new variant and check if i resolved the issue.Cable Chain X.stl otherwise it moves very nice and has bend radius of mere 55mm, chain is 25mm wide x 20 high outside
