3D Printer 2

Today was mainly wire routing electrical assembly. When running wires over an mechanical assembly you have to take care to avoid transitions that might cause the wire to be damaged by vibration.  Velleman provided very detailed instructions to avoid such potential wire damage and subsequent intermittent operation.  We have finished the Extruder Head wiring at this point, and are working forward to the Z Axis wiring.

Velleman's instructions are very explicit, and easy to follow, however there are a couple math errors.  The Photodocumentation is very helpful.  My friend is already starting to add features, LEDs, an Alarm Siren, and Custom 3D printed covers.  I can tell custom software is coming too...

New Toy, gotta play...

This is the Extruder Head Assembly, wired.  It's a Marvelous Mechanism, with Servo Control.  You can also see the Heated Assembly platform.  There are levelers underneath to square up the table.  The fan is to cool the extruded material.  The actual extruder is not installed yet.  Below the Heated Assembly Platform is the X/Y Grid Mechanization, and the Z Axis Mechanization this the vertical piece at the left.

Still very excited, yet gotta take a break from this to do other stuffz...  Big Puppy Sigh...

 I dream of Harley...
