Shortyuk Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Fox Delta. This is a great design. I am just about to have a go at printing it. I am wondering what settings you used for printing e.g resolution, infill amount number of walls etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxDelta Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) Fox Delta. This is a great design. I am just about to have a go at printing it. I am wondering what settings you used for printing e.g resolution, infill amount number of walls etc? thx, i would say pretty much standard: most 0.2 layer height, 2 wall lines, 20 to 99% infill, retraction most important is orientation and support placement, the housing can be a little bit tricky to print i suggest to place it on its square front, ad some support blockers inside and enable z hop, u may ad some additional supports for the thin parts. nozzle lever and axis parts i printed in vertical orientation with partially 99% infill (eg at the nozzle levers thinnest position where it leaves the housing) gcode is at the dropbox as well, so u can have a look at, very printer specific (and not state of the art anymore) but should give u an i dea Edited July 7, 2020 by FoxDelta my projects: https://www.sim-addons.com/ https://www.shapeways.com/shops/sim-addons-1 AV8B nozzle lever https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=233670 F18C fingerlifts https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=234747 F18C radar elevation https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=248080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bog9y Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I'm in the process of printing this with my Anycubic S (3?). So far I've printed the housing, the ball and a couple of other little bits. It's my first time using a 3d printer and I just loaded the Gcode files onto the SD card and popped that in the printer. So far the printed parts look ok (I think) but maybe a little bit different compared to the pics. Is printing the Gcode file not the way it's supposed to be done? Should I have used the STL files somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine if your printer and filament are exactly the same as that used for the settings in the G-code. If it's not the same, you might get some difference in quality, etc., but it may still work.

Bog9y Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 So , my housing and lever come out like this. Not exactly like in the OP pics. I guess I need to cut and sand the excess parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobinjaevel Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) All the support material needs to be removed, after that you can sand it smooth. Be careful around smaller parts so you don't accidentaly remove more than the support As for the quality, download a slicer, Cura is a free one, the search for a profile for your machine. Then insert the stl. into Cura and slice it for a g-code. There are a lot of good tutorials on Youtube, good luck and enjoy your printer!

Bog9y Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I got all the parts printed (I think). Now I got to figure out how it all fits together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bog9y Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Does anybody know if it's possible to make the nozzle lever a little bit thicker? I accidentally bumped into mine and it broke, tried to amend the STL file in Fusion 360 to make the lever thicker but I don't know how to do it. Any ideas?

Seance12 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 what is the best way to remove the excess in the housing? I keep breaking the housing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobinjaevel Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) Did you slice the .stl yourself, or did you print using someone elses g-code? If you slice it yourself you can adjust the distance the support has to the housing, to close and it might become part of the housing. Other than that, try to be careful with sideclippers and take small pieces, it could take a while Good luck!

I would have gone with more infil, rather than making it thicker. im currently printing this as well... @FoxDelta - this is a legendary design. Thank you for all the work you put into this!

Thanatos31 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Update - First 1 day print of the casing was a disaster - unfortunately the supports did not come out at all (I used tree supports) and I ended up destroying it. what type of supports and printing orientation / direction did you guys use ?

Hey dude, I tried amending the nozzle lever thickness with fusion360 and after several attempts I gave up. I'm not good with fusion360 and found it too frustrating. The next time I broke the nozzle lever I just used a double ended steel screw to connect the lever at the breaking point. So far it's stayed in place without problems, several months now. 9 hours ago, Thanatos31 said: Update - First 1 day print of the casing was a disaster - unfortunately the supports did not come out at all (I used tree supports) and I ended up destroying it. what type of supports and printing orientation / direction did you guys use ? I think I laid the casing on it's biggest flat side, I can't remember to be honest, it's been a while since I did it. EDIT: actually, if you look at my pic above you can see that I have lots of excess PLA stuff on what is the front part of the housing (the opposite side of where I'm holding it). So that was my orientation. Edited June 4, 2021 by Bog9y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(so standing upright) try printing this while lying flat, so the material layers cover the most ground in one pass, instead of lots of little layers. It will be more work cleaning it up and sanding it down, but it should come with much more sturdiness. Edited June 4, 2021 by Wisky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
