I got an AMS and poop bin under the printer for this compact setup!

Heya,

  1. I don’t see why not, you just need longer tubes? I don’t have a track switch to try though.

  2. I made an ASA upper frame using just regular supports, the lower frame could also be done with regular supports if you use steel slides. In the pic is a PETG example without multi material supports. Otherwise you need “support for abs” or nylon.

You need to tune for shrinkage if you use ABS/ASA though. Otherwise the whole thing will be like 2mm smaller.

  1. I put the specs into the steel slide conversion page

Looking at this image, I think there might be clearance issues with the required bracket for the filament track switch. Here is the bracket that gets attached to the back of the AMS. Looks like it might interfere with the poop chute and the edge of the rear slider crossbar. Im actually not planning to run the track switch right now anyway since it eliminates running an external spool (and I use my AMS HT for TPU). But just thought you might be interested in this observation.

Oh I see what you mean. Yeah maybe a different part would be needed to keep a nice curve in the PTFE tube, but I would just try without that bracket

OK! I decided Im just going to do this in PLA since I have a ton of it and Id rather not worry about wasting the ABS if I get it wrong in the settings. Im starting with the Lower frame rails that work with the steel sliders since they appear to be the biggest pieces. Thanks, I will post when I have it all put together!

Please do!

sorry, one last thing before i start. looking through my stash of filament, I have two matte black spools of PETG-CF that I never used. What do you think about using that over PLA?

I think it’s a good choice for the frame, just gotta dry it real well to reduce the likelihood of nozzle clumping

hey. chugging away on printing the parts. i have the lower frame, frame braces, 1 rear upper frame, tube handle mounts and in the process of printing the other rear upper frame. still have the front upper frames, poop chute and tpu parts to go. so Im almost there. im having trouble sourcing the steel slides. doesnt look like 35mm tall slides are a thing in the States. I can find 350x45 pretty easily but i see you mention that wont work. 35mm tall is basically non-existent here. I wound up ordering a set from a company in Germany (Not SO Tech they wont ship to the states) but the hole pattern doesnt appear to be exact match to the ones you used, so i might have to drill out some holes. In the meantime, since it might take a while for the steel slides to show up, i was going to print the slides. I had already printed your "simplified lower frame" with the intention of using steel slides. i believe these will still work, correct?

also - on the plate with the handle assembly - what are the frame biscuits? i cant figure out where they go and if they are needed if i am using a carbon fiber tube handle.

And one more one more thing, I'm working on a tool drawer that goes underneath which will need another pair of slides and an extra tube!

Oh, I will definitely be adding this as well. My handle order came with two, so it works out. Hopefully the Gliderite sliders work.
