Doing 400mm tall prints on a bedslinger would sketch me out
Oh wow, that looks hilarious, but in a fuck yeah you mad lad way. Is it the tower resonating or the part you're printing? If it's the tower I'd bet money you could solve the last of the problems with some kind of wall attachment for the tower. (Clip if you actually do haul it around, bracket if you don't.)
I had similarly good luck with a height mod on my 3V2 but that thing has a lot more mass to it, I expected it to work. I would not have expected this to work.
Both Hilarious and Awesome 👍
High speed prints must be terrifying
I always print slow with it. The tiny heated bed uses so little power, maybe only 5p per hour to run, Vs my rating which was costing me 20-30p per hour :|
Maybe go with independent heater zones on the ratrig? Idk if the cost of multiple new heaters and supporting hardware would be worth it tho
what is 5p?
British Pence. 5p = £0.05
What is the longest threaded rod available? I bet you can do another meter
I could get threaded rod up to 700mm, and the v slot 20x40 v slot could be cut to any length.
The "hardest" part was all the new cables and connectors needed. The printer uses 2 types of connectors for stepper motors and end stops, even though I purchased a few meters of ribbon cable.
I tried upgrading the extruder motor, but sadly the old ender 2 you can't easily adjust any of the settings like esteps or pid tuning.
I thought it was like an ender 3 board, guess not. I recently got an afternoon skr V2 board and got 2 meter long cables for everything including the screen so I can put the board under the desk.
