Awesome video! It really shows the progress made in 3D printing quality as time goes on and you learn a bit more about the machine and what settings to use to slice parts for it. I'd definitely recommend hooking up your heated bed as soon as you get the chance, it will completely eliminate warping and it really does save a lot of headache, especially with parts that would otherwise be very hard to print due to little bed contact. I was also rather impressed with the overhangs you're able to print! I've never done any tests of overhangs that extreme but it is great to see it can handle them pretty well! Thanks for the submission! |

Thanks, it's been a fun few weeks since I started this process, and fun to throw together the video. I was worried that you billing it as an "intermediate" printer would really be too much for me to bite off, but it's been quite manageable. Of course, I did a TON of reading and watched all your videos first (a big selling point for me, honestly, seeing your process and how you solved problems in ways I might have).
I decided to do a 24VDC system, which is why I've held off on the heated bed. I've been unable to confirm that the Azteeg V5 2.0 can handle switching the heated bed directly at 24V, so I was going to use an SSR. I have a bunch of AC switching SSRs, but no DC ones of suitable amperage. A Crydom D1D20 should arrive in a couple days though. Otherwise, 24 volts has seemed to be great to me. The steppers stay at about 82 degrees F even after tough work outs. The E3D V6 gets to 240C in about 3.5 minutes, but I don't know if that's fast or not.
I've been impressed by the overhangs too, especially considering how poor they started out on day one! I feel like I've barely got this thing tuned well, but I'm already producing prints better than a lot of submissions I see people bragging about on Reddit. Great design, thanks!

Yes congratulations Scott; that is an awesome video. I just did a really quick video so don't expect anything great. This is the first youtube video I have posted. I am currently filming a time-lapse of the print in the video. It should be finished very soon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJqZPfQxh3EUpdate, here is the time lapse: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUBt3-v8Asw |
