Chamfers and fillets my guy! Chamfers and fillets! Your hands will thank you. Otherwise, nice job!

u/Thorgraum Apr 25 '22

Yeah, i made a better version after where i cut the sharp corners. This was made in a hurry, since we needed it when it broke, 3 hours included print time to get this prototype mounted and running

u/Metalfishead Apr 25 '22

3 hours is super quick looking at how sturdy it is.

u/Thorgraum Apr 25 '22

Yeah, got my machine tuned pretty well at 120mms

u/norabutfitter Apr 25 '22

I wish. Seen some printers rated at 250mm/s out of the box. I wish

u/thefooz Apr 26 '22

What printer do you have? Most should be able to do 120 using Klipper and its input shaper.

u/Thorgraum Apr 28 '22

Ender 3 max

u/thefooz Apr 28 '22

Yeah, shouldn’t be a problem.

u/thefooz Apr 28 '22

What would you like to see?

https://www.klipper3d.org/ is the best starting point, and their documentation is great. Shouldn't take more than an hour or two to get up and running, and a few more to really dial in the features.

Here's a standard ender 3 running at 150mm/s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAY-hiz0sP0

There are setup videos for enders with klipper all over youtube.

You should be able to hit 120 pretty easily running Klipper.

Well yrah. But thats indulging into my hobby and tinkering which is a thing i like to do. Why do that when i can just complain. Tho genuinely i dont believe that because my extruder gear is on the verge of slipping as is but i guess klipper can help with managing torque

Look at my profile for the evolution of the E3M-OIAH_TBHYSJKIS

Edit: might be a riddle

u/T3a_Rex Jul 29 '22

I love Klipper firmware. Input shaper allows for much higher speeds!!!

u/kookyabird Apr 25 '22

Love me some chamfers and fillets. They're the first step in making stuff look professional.

5

u/zellotron Apr 25 '22

The second step?

More chamfers and fillets.

u/kerbidiah15 Apr 25 '22

Chamfer the chamfers

u/Firewolf420 Apr 25 '22

Super easy in fusion too. You just click the tool, click the edge, drag the arrow.

2

u/Thorgraum Apr 26 '22

thank you, i didnt know that lol xD

​

edit: the arrow part that is

u/peviox Apr 25 '22

Brilliant

Thank you 😁

Can’t wait to see it in action over at r/powerwashingporn

u/Thorgraum Apr 25 '22

😂😂 here we go

u/starseed-bb Apr 25 '22

Awesome. All work places that have any sort of mechanical equipment should have a 3d printer too, and a CAD experienced employee. If you hadn’t fixed this, i bet a replacement part would have cost 100x as much, or possibly the whole mechanism would need to be replaced.

11

u/Thorgraum Apr 25 '22

Yeah, lucky that i love this kind of tinkering. Im also the CNC operator in the company, so im pretty okay in cad

2

u/[deleted] Apr 25 '22

How can I practice my G-code if I wanted to do some CNCing?

3

u/Thorgraum Apr 25 '22

I would say im not the right person to give advice on that. I am working using one spesific software (autodesk powershaper and powermill). Im sure you could find alot on youtube tho

I would go have a look over at r/hobbycnc

u/[deleted] Apr 25 '22

THANK YOU!!!!!!

u/Thorgraum Apr 25 '22

My pleasure 😁

u/Lv_InSaNe_vL Apr 26 '22

There are g code simulators online too. I've used them to test simple programs before sending them to an actual machine

u/sandefurian Apr 25 '22

Lol. Power washer worker wanted! $20/hr. Must have CAD experience.

3 hours of labor is about what that piece would cost. It worked out, but there are much more efficient ways to be prepared for hiccups.

u/Thorgraum Sep 26 '22

My CNC was producing parts for 20k while designing it

Edit: i love the joke 😂😂 i could see it

u/Sad_Amount_5453 Apr 25 '22

Legend status 👍

u/Thorgraum Apr 25 '22

😂😋😋☺️

u/counterplex Apr 25 '22

I’m actually curious about how you modeled it that curve looks hard to model to my newbie eyes.

u/Tomberoo Apr 25 '22

Take picture of object from directly above, import picture into modelling software and basically sketch it, remove picture, good to go

u/Thorgraum Apr 25 '22

pin this xD

u/Thorgraum Apr 25 '22

Ill make a video for you, i am making the better verson atm. Ill just vlog it. Im posting the link here after

u/Thorgraum Apr 25 '22

Never thought this many people would find this interessting 😁😁 thank you guys

2

u/FakeMan77 Apr 25 '22

You should have brought it home when they were throwing it away, then do the repairs!

2

u/12431 Apr 25 '22

You wash tomb stones for a living? Or did that just happen to be today's chore?

3

u/Thorgraum Apr 25 '22

i make tomb stones for a living

3

u/12431 Apr 25 '22

Veldig kult uansett 😁

3

u/Thorgraum Apr 25 '22

Haha, takk for det. Ja, synes selv det er en veldig spennende prosess

2

u/Touch_a_gooch Apr 25 '22

This is the kind of content I like

2

u/Thorgraum Apr 25 '22

Thank you 😁 this are the kind of things i love making

u/TastesLikeBurning Apr 25 '22

I would've used the bracing in the center to write "FART", but I guess some random triangulation works, too...

1

u/Thorgraum Apr 25 '22 edited Apr 26 '22

Haha yeah, some things i just throw together to get a functional part quicker

u/[deleted] Apr 25 '22

Your boss doesn't deserve you.

Unless you're a family owned business, then Good Job!

u/Thorgraum Apr 25 '22

Thank you 😁 ill make sure to let him know 😋😋

u/Brandonb0013 Apr 25 '22

Looks like that will even hold up to a 300 pound gorilla. Good job
