3d print jd head

Question

hi has anyone printed a jd head?my question is ,how do you print the head on the printbed? thank you

Jeremie · Answer

Hello Nomad, Here's how I print it. I use supports and a raft.

Nomad 6R · Answer

many thanks jeremie.i am printing a glow in the dark one.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hey jer is the backside ,the middle pin made chorter?

Jeremie · Answer

No Sorry Nomad, it’s just a illusion of the angle I took the screen shot at. The middle pin sticks out and there should be support material that holds up the rest.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi jeremie i found the auto ad support in cura.thank you thank you:D

Nomad 6R · Answer

hahaha my first attempt to print the backside of jd's head.lol. it printed only the supports.xD second attempt looks better,hopefully.

Nomad 6R · Answer

wel it printet a little more.but stopped again.i do see there is no written time laps on the printpage that says howlong it will take, to print.

Nomad 6R · Answer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vQQxNHwVn4  sofar i am not able to print the jd front head with the eyes.so i found a solution.i printed a  plate, and two rings.as you can see in the video.the eyes where not smooth,thats why i use the rings. they have two clean sides.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i have another question about printing jd.am trying to print the chest.all is ok except for one thing. the sides and top is bend.i use pla and no heated bed.i think the bed is damage.

Jeremie · Answer

Hello @Nomad, it looks like you are getting some lift on your print. This is likely an adhesion problem, try these things: 1. Print with a raft 2. Level the build plate 3. Clean the build plate with isopropyl alcohol to remove any grease that may have come from your hands 4. Scuff up the build plate with sandpaper or whatever you can find Hope that helps!

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi jeremie i have level the bed with the blue tape on it.the 4 corners are good but in the middle is not so good. thats why i thought the bed was not good.okay adhesion means ( stycky problem  ). i have isoprofyl alcohol , thanks jeremie.

Nomad 6R · Answer

jeremie its much better but another problem is hapening while printing. the connection with cura server falls out and printer stops. are there any good free programs for printing? thank you jeremie nomadr6/EDP/ patrick

Proteus · Answer

Nomad, put UHU stick glue on the blue tape for better adhesion. For slicing i use Repetier-Host : https://www.repetier.com/download-now/

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi proteusy the sticky problem is solved.but i notest the bed is bend.also i see a missing page in settings on the printer. i dont see this page as in the pic. do you have an idea ,if you use your android phone as wifi for the cura,will that cost alot? i have a look on your link.and i have UHU sticks. thank you for responding.

DJ Sures · Answer

You have too much air circulation and the pla is cooling at different rates. We resolved this by placing a box over the printer.  Also, the other main reason for lifting on the edges is due to the plate being too far or too close to the print head.  Take some time to calibrate the print head against the bed as often as possible.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi dj my printer sits in a closed. i level the bed about 30 min and in all corners and middle. the bed is bend i cant get a good bedleveling. i bouth this on ebay,new in box.i think the seller got me there. thank you for the respons

Nomad 6R · Answer

dj here a video about arflow arround the print.

nallycat · Answer

I think JD is correct and your print head is two far from the print bed,  try to do your leveling of the bed with NO TAPE on the bed then when you are finished put the tape back on the print bed,  this makes the extruder closer by the thickness of the tape,  another thing I would use is to turn on RAFT in your program this will adjust for the uneven bed. by adding a pad of plastic under your print object that you peal off.  leaving the printed object flat on the bottom.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi nallycat i am using the raft and its better not compleet good but better. i level the bed wiht no tape. thanks

Nomad 6R · Answer

okay here are jd's feet.the top will be gold color.

DJ Sures · Answer

I never use the tape. I’ve never had good experience with tape. Every time I used tape, the part wouldn’t stick and warp.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi dj the tape works very good here.but the cura is a bummer.losing serverconnection.printing stops .cura dont open. way too much settings.

nallycat · Answer

I never use tape years ago I switched to using glass on the print bed and some hairspray.  the printed  parts stick with no warping and release easily when the bed is cool.  I never have to enclose the printer even when using ABS,  my filiament of choice though is PET G. no smell, easy to print, very strong, solvent fused, and can be submerged into boiling water.  won't melt if you leave your robot in your car on a sunny day. try that with PLA.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi nallycat i have the glass reddy .some day i will use it.thats a great tip about the PETG. thank you

Nomad 6R · Answer

okay i have printed my B9 hehe.tomorrow i will print the transparent parts.

DJ Sures · Answer

Dave snuffleapagus is gonna love that! If it was a bit bigger, you could add servos and an iotiny

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi dj i dont have a big printer for the size mini servo's.but i can make it bigger.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i forgot i dont have pla transparent.so made it red.i can scale up to 350 size in cura .

nallycat · Answer

@Nomad 6R    Hi I like your B9, very nice  if you are thinking of printing transparent parts I recommend using PMMA filament it is very clear. print slower and hotter, and you can finish with acetone fuming just like ABS, for a great finish.  How long did it take to print your B9?:D

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi nallycat thank you for the tip.i saw a video about fuming.the printing of the little B9 a few houres cant say excacly howlong.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i forgot what is the recomended speed for PMMA ?i am doing the grippers on scale 350 in cura ,it takes 3.40 houres

nallycat · Answer

@Nomad 6R    For fuming I use a metal paint can and I put paper towels around the insides held on with a couple of magnets. then wet the towels with acetone put your print in the can on a small piece of wood in the bottom and put the lid on.  I do this outside as the acetone is very strong. use a test piece to test for time check every 10 minutes. for printing I print at 60  and the extruder temp is 240 deg. for clear parts do not use any infull if you can/

Nomad 6R · Answer

thats very usefull info many thanks.the grippers takes 4.40 houres to print scale is 350 in cura. printingspeed mine says 1.0 on the printer.how do i understand this?

nallycat · Answer

@Normad 6R   I am not sure what your printing speed means at 1.0   maybe 0,5 may be half speed which would be ok.  I forgot to tell you if you fume parts don't pick up the parts with your fingers as the surface needs to harden so just upen the lid and let it air out.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i know you have to let your parts dry out.thanks for telling.

Nomad 6R · Answer

Jeremie · Answer

Cool idea @Nomad, thanks for sharing the design!

Nomad 6R · Answer

reinforced backpart jd chest i notest that when printing the backside jd chest it was not very strong. i am not sure if it comes to my low skills of 3d printing. anyway i desided to reinforce the back part.as you can see , all the yellow is reinforced.also inside where the screws goes in, is reinforced with a little spacer.the yellow round cirkle is the part, that easly break off.not with this config.i hope its usefull. all is free for download.

Nomad 6R · Answer

there are some video's on youtube that says there is no generator to round up corners /edges in tinkercad. well there is .see generators all then page 12 .there it is. i have a quetion also. does anyone made an stl or has one from the main gear micro servo?

Dave Schulpius · Answer

I know nothing about 3D printing and very little about the material available to print with. However are you sure the material available would be strong enough for a servo main gear? It would be nice if something would be available and easy to print.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi dave i am testing some servo's housing now. i dont think its strong enough cause of the heat servo's make. my goal is something compleet diff.i make dummy servo's.do maybe its possible for very , thik gears on the outside of a motor or servo with 80 or 100 % infill.am just gessing.

Dave Schulpius · Answer

Very interesting. I'll be watching to see what you come up with. Thanks.

Nomad 6R · Answer

do you have something in mind?

Dave Schulpius · Answer

No, nothing in mind. Just watching talent like your's and learning. Maybe I'll be able to use what you come up with some time in the future.

Nomad 6R · Answer

talent ,lol i just remember my first jader print was at 80 % infill. you could not even sanded.it was really solid. i will test a gear at 80% infill.let you know here.

Jeremie · Answer

Hey @Nomad I've made pieces that attach to the micro servo output gear, it's actually exactly the same as the HDD servo output gear. You just need to grab the U-Bracket (P24) STL file. It's located inside ARC under Project-> My Robot -> Design -> "Bit library" drop down menu -> Servos -> Lever servo (any) and then "Save STL" for P24. Load the STL file up in TinkerCAD then remove/add whatever you need around the servo gear section.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi thanks jeremie.i have a look now.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i get only a bracket?lol

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi dave.  gear ratio these are 3 gears with 90 % infill pla.is really solid.when you install a glas bed ,you can use abs witchs is even more stronger. you can ad names or adres or phone number on your gear.so averyone knows from who this robot is. or ad an arrow if you need to line up gears.

Jeremie · Answer

Oh sorry Nomad! I thought you wanted an STL for the bracket side of the gear not the gear itself.  I was picturing you designing something like this:

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi jeremie i need the gear.thats what i want.from the micro servo.

Nomad 6R · Answer

this one i mean. ithink its called the main gear ( chaft ) spline.

Nomad 6R · Answer

stl gear stand darth father gear stand for darth father head.

Dave Schulpius · Answer

Hi Nomad, I just saw the video of your gears with two of my favorite people's name printed on them. Me and my B9. LOL. Thanks for the nod.  Yes, those look very sturdy and would work for most things. I'm still wondering how a print like the brass gear you pictured above would stand up to the wear and tear of the punishment we put servos through. I guess there is only one way to tell, design it, print it, use it. LOL. As far as Father's head on a gear stand; very cleaver but I think you have Dad issues. LOL!

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi dave i printed the mini gear, but that didn work.too small not teeth on the print. the names print very well ,and very clear also. as for the dad issue lol .i only knew my dad till i was 13 years old when he passed away. i didn see my dad often cause off ilness.so your thoughts are correct.lol

Dave Schulpius · Answer

Man, that sucks. Sorry.

Nomad 6R · Answer

Thats ok dave.thats along time ago.

Nomad 6R · Answer

am doing some testing on a new robot build. the video gifs a little clue. am not sure it will work but its a lot of fun.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi  i have made a new mod on the gripper jd.am doing this cause when you make a big robot, you have an idea what works.one question i have is when you grip something and have, a servo some distants away,would that burn a servo when its really gripping. here a pic off the mod  here the stl file stl grippers 1 stl nm 2 stl 2 the video  funny it did grip 1 time haha.but the mod is much better.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi i never trow away not perfect prints.you can always use them for something. in this case i had a few darth father heads left over.so i made them into, book stands.also improved the word darth.its now in front.

Dave Schulpius · Answer

LOL! Outstanding!

Nomad 6R · Answer

stl jd back panel chest another improvement.i notest when putting jd chest together and you are a little to hard on the print, some can break off like the pins to hold the servo inplace.so i put some support there.

Nomad 6R · Answer

here is old sparky-3

okay. here is my version jd's turning waist.the link for the servo is in the topic serco less degree. first a few pics.   and offcourse a little video

Nomad 6R · Answer

yep finich.i made a lid to cover up the servo.  you can just pop it on the case without any screws.or you can keep it in place excample with paint the part. stl servo case and lid  any ideas what i can try out?

Nomad 6R · Answer

here the turning waist on jd.need more testing how strong the servo really is.

Nomad 6R · Answer

here's an idea i have to make it possible to grip a ball with two hands. a spring loaded hand.would this work?all ideas and thoughts are welcome. so the pressure is at the fingers insteadt of the servo.  3d printed spring with hand.

Nomad 6R · Answer

first print spring hand at 70 % infill.not much bending sofar.looks good. i am printing one at 20 % infill.take about 3 hours to print.

EzAng · Answer

great I don't have a 3d printer yet, any suggestions?

Nomad 6R · Answer

yes wait till they are reddy.haha if they works i can print a pair for you. and send them to you.send me a mail with an adres you like to use and phone number .

Nomad 6R · Answer

here's a easy way to make a hip. ad two cube's  on the bottem jd chest.see pic.  ad this point it looks  allreddy good. next print a cube cover.you can download stl on my tinkercad.  next slide it over the cube's,then put the legs on.  and here's ez robot DROID. also the hand are reddy.video comes little later.

Dave Schulpius · Answer

You're really good at this. Looks like you're having a lot of fun also.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi dave its very rewarding inventing parts.soon i need a bigger printer.lol:D thanks

nallycat · Answer

Yes Nomad 6R   When I saw the printer you decided to purchase, and after seeing all the parts you make, I knew it would not be long before you have to get a larger printer.   I use a delta printer as it takes up much less room, the bed is 185mm X 185mm 370mm height it is a FlSun large delta and I have used flsun model printers for over fifteen years with no problems, the printers come as parts and you have to assemble it, but this is a good thing as you learn alot on how your printer should work.  the only thing I added was the Printer Program Simplify 3D  Which I think is the best.  Delta printer's are faster because the printer head is the only thing that moves and it is light, regular printers have to move the print surface a large heavy plate that has a lot of inertia and has to stop and start quickly making it not as accurate, and slower.  I use a glass bed and hairspray, the printer has a leveling feature .

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi nallycat 3d printing is very addicted.lol:Di had this printer in mind. consider big bed and low prize. 3d printer

Nomad 6R · Answer

looking at the backside waist cover,i saw this. lot off space for led's  i found led with flat heat and i have space for 3 led's it will look like this.complete cover.  here's an idea with one led tri color.

EzAng · Answer

very cool lights,  good job Also I like the way you have the waist move Ang

Nomad 6R · Answer

this is a dummy waist .not moveble.i am test printing one now.:D thanks EzAng

Nomad 6R · Answer

okay.there are 3 covers reddy.for one led,for two led,and tree led. waiting for the led to arrive.here some pic.   the front has tree holes for tree led's. the backside one for the wires come thru. and there is space for using spiral wrap.

Nomad 6R · Answer

here the LED flat head.

EzAng · Answer

I need a3d printer, still researching. Nice printed part with the lights - sound good job! Ang

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi EzAng i started with a cheap 3d printer cause you need to learn alot. also making mod on printers.and learn tinkercad . thanks

EzAng · Answer

I know there is a lot to learn on 3d printers - doing research did you see my new Roman with head movements?

Nomad 6R · Answer

yes i saw it on youtube.good work.

Thanks, my wife helped with that. It is good to get the wife involved :-)

Nomad 6R · Answer

i have a question about printing.i have a glas bed now witch works really well. one problem do,the print starts to curl up and split open in the middle.what can cause this?  any one thank you

Jeremie · Answer

I sounds like a layer adhesion or bed adhesion issue. Three things you could try: 1. Clean your bed with isopropyl alcohol to remove any oils on it 2. Re-level your bed 3. Modify the print temperature

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi jeremie is possible the temp is to high? i am using 200 . on the box says 190to 220.

Jeremie · Answer

@Nomad that temperature actually seems too low in my opinion. At the office the filament we use is 190 to 220C rated as well and we print at 220C. If you start seeing little burnt bits in your print or the plastic looks like it's bubbling as it's printed the temperature is too high, you can then dial the temp back a bit.

Nomad 6R · Answer

oh.many thanks for the info.

Nomad 6R · Answer

jeremie indeed printing at 220 is much better.

Nomad 6R · Answer

found it,deleted post

Nomad 6R · Answer

all is bin changed

Nomad 6R · Answer

here a little update.shoulders and hip are reddy.for the shoulders i use ez robot HDD. arms MG995.

Nomad 6R · Answer

they say trouble never comes alone . i just renewed the heatbed and complete headblock. al go's wel for 1 day and then i hear this sound.i can see the gear is not loose. can this gear worn out?

Jeremie · Answer

Hi Nomad, That gear in particular doesn't "wear out". You see the inner diameter gets locked onto a motor shaft with a set screw, so it doesn't wear down. The set screw can become loose, so you may need to tighten it. The outer diameter which grabs onto the filament can get full of filament and start slipping. They teeth are only rubbing on plastic so they won't wear down. You can clean these teeth with a toothbrush or equivalent brush.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi jer i did clean them out and indeed there is some flinters off filament in there. ok the gear is good.and i put in a new spring in and handle . its still do tok tok tok .i also notest i could not get the filament to retrack for excample to use another color

nallycat · Answer

@Nomad6R  if you are hearing a noise, like a knocking noise the print head hot end is to close to the table there is not enough space for the filament to exit if it does this for to long it will burnout the stepper motor, it weakens before it eventually dies.  make sure your first layer is not to close to the build table, those stepper motors are around 25.00 u.s. on amazon.  I keep a spare as I had one burn out when I wasn't watching. that ticking is a vibration and can loosen the feed gear, like yours did.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi nallycat i hear indeed knocking sound as in the video.at this moment the nozzle is on the print.not on the table. and am printing on a glas bed. learn something .thanks for the info.

nallycat · Answer

@Normad6R   When you start printing the first layer is when you can damage your stepper motor if the print nozzle is to close to the glass bed the heated filament has no room to leave the nozzle. the stepper cannot push the filament so it makes a clicking noise.  the stress on just doing the first layer can damage the extruder stepper.  when you setup the alignment and bed leveling use 2 thicknesses of paper to raise the nozzle a bit more.  if the knocking is while the print head is several layers up, then you have a partially blocked nozzle. to test this before you print raise the print head extrude about 50 mm of filament, it should drop straight down if it coils the nozzel is partially blocked, so clean it.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi nallycat your right there's a problem with the new heatblock.filament goes not thru the block.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi nallycat you are spot on.thank you for saving my printer.it was a new complete heatblock with a faulty throat.  i could nof figur out why the filament did go smooth in the block, and when its in  , i couldn get it out to swap filament. much learned.

nallycat · Answer

@Normad6R you are welcome  if the stepper keeps clicking after you fix the blockage then it is damaged. you will have to replace it, I hope not,  but it has happened to me, we learn by our mistakes.

Nomad 6R · Answer

Lucky.it works,doesn click,xD back to printing.

Nomad 6R · Answer

the real problem that started the tok tok sound is this. i negleted to check the new nozzle.i was assuming it was good. it was loose and cause a cloth in the nozzle.

Nomad 6R · Answer

does this picture look normal?

nallycat · Answer

@Normad6R    No it does not look normal.  You need to check your extruder it is not putting out enough filament.  print a test cube and check your settings.  did you tighten the grub nut on the feed gear.  and it is tight.  and check the filament leaving the hot end if you extrude 20 mm is 20 mm coming out.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi nallycat lot of filament is comming out,but not line next to line .more like a V chape. also the lines off the raft do not stick together.i use 220 heat.no heat on the bed. i just checked the grub nut is ok. it feels like the sync off the bed and nozzel is off.

nallycat · Answer

@Normad6R  download and print a test cube   no raft.    reset the bed level to make sure you are the correct distance to the glass. and see how it prints.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i took the glas off the bed.cause the back screws off the bed is slitly grazing the block where the rods are for the bed. also i see alot of sparkelings from the rods on the belt.i think the machien is worn out. i will test the cube in about 6 houres.i can make a video.

Nomad 6R · Answer

here is a video with some grinding sound.

Nomad 6R · Answer

back into printing.i can fix the printer for a few dollars.so i am going to fix the printer. i can learn alot from this repairment.here's what i found yesterday. some times i hear a chort crack sound.this seems to be a happen alot. printing the cube.later i post some pics.here a pic off part of the problem.

Nomad 6R · Answer

here's the start from the cube .

Nomad 6R · Answer

now i have a leak to fix.but i am able to print.

Nomad 6R · Answer

some interesting details about leveling the bed. first thing i saw is a faulty speed for the first layer .you need to set the speed half for the first layer. second is the way you level the bed ,see picture.numbers are the screws on the bed, except for number 5 .  first layer speed set half

Nomad 6R · Answer

here's a part printed half speed.its awesome.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i finally maneged to get the bed leveling right. here's a paper that comes when bying a printer. its a little thicker then a A4 paper.  what i learn is this.slight this under the nozzel when bed temp is atleast 30 heat or the temp that you use. loosen the screw untill the paper gets stuck under the nozzel.then gently tighten the screws and at same time pull the paper from underneed, the nozzel.here you will find two things .eather the paper chift in small amount from underneed the nozzel, or all the way.these two are your messurment,your setting chould be between these two . when printing a raft it chould look like this. see pic.no curls,no thin lines.no pullin back filament.  then you will see a perfect raft .  you can also see the color is very clear.no warping or lifting from the print. i use the UHU stick ones.on a clean bed.110 heat extruder.30 heat bed. half speed.

Nomad 6R · Answer

och its allreddy christmas here.new printer arrived, creality ender-3 here's a first print.woef.  the ender-3 feels like a porche if you comming from a mini printer, its getting better & better the more you print. waitng for spare parts for the monoprize mini v2.

nallycat · Answer

@Nomad6R  Great Job.  I am sure you will be creating great things with that 3D Printer.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi nallycat  question.if your settings in cura uncheck platform heat,chould there be readings off temp on the printer? my monoprize always say 22 heat aldo its unchecked. thanks

EricEZ · Answer

hello @Nomad 6R i never success printing with ABS

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi EricEZ indeed starting with 3d printing can be tricky. the  most importend thing is the bed leveling. what do you use now? pla.

nallycat · Answer

@EricEZ  What Problems did you have printing with ABS   You have to have an enclosure for the printer as ABS warps and lifts from the print bed, I have a large delta printer I use a clear Garbage bag over the Printer, I use a glass Bed with Aussie Hair spray, also the bed has to be hot and the extruder has to be hot, I use an all metal extruder because of the heat used.  it just takes practice.  for most of my printing I use PET-G filament, as it is stronger then ABS but is much easier to print with.  you don't need an enclosure.  but you have to use retraction as it is stringy if you don't.

Nomad 6R · Answer

okay eureka.the ender-3 is printing well.  i finally found the error,you can believe it.after seeing a lot off video's, i found the problem.its the original paper that you get with the monoprize mini v2. this one  it make your setting to far away from the nozzle.now i use orig A4 paper, and glas bed.all problems gone.

hi nallycat i am still using pla cause i have lots off them.the parts still needs some tinkering. i use this model design robot this is the link lower back leg.lower back leg right foot only two holes for the horn.i couldn get the other in line yet.right foot right ankle colum.ankle colum servo back cap,this fits in the colum.servo back cap  the servo cap slide in the colum,it fits like a glove. i have a upper arm also reddy for testprint. the reason behind this robot;i making as cheap possible fight robot. all other parts needs to be adjusted and test print. thats why these are set prived.not test print them yet. 220 nozzle heat/ first layer 50% speed /heat 50 heat / 50 % infill/using raft. parts are 5MM thik. thank you

EricEZ · Answer

oh oke, thank for help i wan to try print with ABS,

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi EricEZ keep posting here.and ask questions.some will help. what i know is .use 220 nozzle heat,60 heatbed .print first layer half speed. you can print a cube for testing.or a plate test abs

EricEZ · Answer

@Nomad 6R          yea,    I'm tired doing nothing..lol, .. I will start working on robot projects again,  like before

Nomad 6R · Answer

EricEZ what kind of printer do you have?

EricEZ · Answer

i have anycubic delta and anet e12

Nomad 6R · Answer

nice twi printers.with glas bed?

EricEZ · Answer

yes i use glas bad, with paper glue i work in 3d printing ordered in my country i have the website www.ngeprint3d.com i just print my new full size robot

Nomad 6R · Answer

same here works best.and isopropyl 90% to clean the bed. have you printed abs yet?

Nomad 6R · Answer

oh thats very cool robot.

EricEZ · Answer

for little part i can use ABS, but i always fail in a big size with abs

Nomad 6R · Answer

what you mean by fail ?does the print warping? lift off the bed?

EricEZ · Answer

i think 3d printing kill my skil...lol...., maybe I will use PVC again in the future

EricEZ · Answer

yes is warping and lift on the bed

Nomad 6R · Answer

i had same problem.warping when printing big things. 1 clean the glas using isopropyl 90 % 2 heat the nozzle 220 and the bed 60 temp 3level the bed use A4 paper check it atleast two times. 4print with a raft. 5print at a lower speed.raft half speed.

nallycat · Answer

The correct bed tempature for ABS is 110 Celcius  for  Fahrenheit people that is 220  Fahrenheit.  but it is very hot.  if PETG is used the BED temp is 60 Celcius. if the day is humid I use 65 Celcius bed temp with PETG .  if you are printing ABS you need to put a box over the printer if your printer does not have an enclosure. do not DO NOT use the fan with ABS or PETG.  With these filaments including nylon filament using a fan causes warping and seperation. because I do not use that junk PLA I have removed the Fan from my printer.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi nallycat i didn know you could raise the temp so high? i am uploading a video . i post it here .maybe you can see if the raft is good and the video is useble.

EricEZ · Answer

yes with ABS i turn of the Fan, 100degre celcius for bad, and 240 nozzle but still promleb in big size object

Nomad 6R · Answer

ericez there is your diff in temp.maybe try it like nallycat.

Nomad 6R · Answer

here is the video.i think its a perfect raft.

nallycat · Answer

if the glass is clean lightly sand the glass with sandpaper to make a few fine scratches don't  overdue this as the part will be hard to remove, use hairspray on the glass. use the tempatures I use and put a box over the printer if you do not have a printer that has an enclosure.  some print beds can only go to 100 degree celcius it should still be fine, if it can go higher use the higher temp.because heating the bed so hot can take a long time. that is why people do not like to print with ABS     EricEZ  is your printer enclosed. you can't print large without an enclosure.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i ordered some wood to make an enclosure.i can print 3 parts in a row without cleaning the glas. then i scrape the glue off and clean with isopropyl.90%.good am using junk pla. for me abs will be for much later.

EricEZ · Answer

@nallycat no encloser, but i has been try printing inside the box, but  is fail

Nomad 6R · Answer

EricEZ do you have a picture of a failled print? that can be very helpfull.

nallycat · Answer

@EricEZ  A failed print usually means that object did not stick to the bed, it will release if it warps. if the bed is not prepared properly, the first layer is made to far from the bed and if the speed is  to fast, and in the case of ABS cooling is to fast.   check your print nozzle to bed spacing the bottom of the print should be as smooth as the glass it is printed on  you should not see individual print lines.  Make sure you print on glass use hairspray, check your nozzle height from bed   one sheet of printing paper. in the slicing program slow down the first 2 layers. do not use a fan, cover the printer so it is warm inside the box or enclosure before printing.   IF all of this fails I suggest you use PET G instead of ABS, PET G is stronger then ABS but is much easier to print you do not  need an enclosure. bed only needs to be 60-65 deg C  hot end temp is the hottest suggested temp listed on the filament roll.  maybe 220c you must use retraction.  as PET G is stringy and you will get lots of strings if you don't, but to much retraction  will result in nozzle clogs.  I use 3mm with my all metal hotend, you may need more retraction if you use a regular hotend.    run a test print  2 test cubes on the build plate.  there should be no strings between the cubes if there is then increase  the retraction 1mm, test again until there are no strings.     I have built two Inmoov robots using PET-G and never have a Print failure or strings.    use weldon 3 to join PET G prints it is a solvent weld and is stronger then the print itself.

Nomad 6R · Answer

new colum .servo is less viseble.   new colum

nallycat · Answer

@Nomad6R   very nice, and neat, I can see that servo is further in.   good Job.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hey nallycat the printer is awesome.i could use 10 off these.xD.and 50 rolls yellow. next to come is the front supports and knee.  thanks

Mickey666Maus · Answer

Did you build that one, its really cool!! Awesome robot design, you should make a seperate thread for this build!!

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi mickey its not my design.i love the walkin gait.i got the stl's from a guy in thinkverse. i need to scale up and test print all.i think its a great play robot for fight.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i have a new symptome with the printer.hope someone can tell me how to chut off this setting. the printer start to chake to fill up spaces.he does this so hard that the glas bed moves, even with 6 big clips on.how can i chut this off? thank you

Mickey666Maus · Answer

Hey, I had this too once...check your pulleys, and make sure there is no dirt anywhere on your printer! This should be fixable!!!

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi mickey its a new printer.i cant feel any movement there or see dirt.i think its a setting. the printer goes round and make a sorta pit,then he fills it with lot off filament, by doing ,the printer chakes alot.and thats when it happens.the glas bed chift a few MM. even with 6 clips one.

nallycat · Answer

@Nomad 6R  The printe head is making a lot of small movements in a small area,   you need to check your print job and slice it again and look to see if there is something wrong iwith the .stl file. open that print job in another program like 3D Builder that can detect errors and repair them.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi nallycat ah ok i have a look. thanks guys&girls

Nomad 6R · Answer

here's some new pics and video.lower arm connected to ( hand ).   am using the MG995 servo's.the (hand have a lay in ,looks cooler.

Mickey666Maus · Answer

Nice!! Good progress!!

Nomad 6R · Answer

EUREKA i finally got the chest correct.it has stabelizers ,so there is no unwanted movements there. it protects the spline from the servo.you can use the HDD/MG995 or any big servo you want. here's some picture's   i changed the colors for the brackets in yellow.the name will be red color. and as you can see i got a tooth more haha .now he's got 3 tooth.lol also made the brackets little shorter. a little video.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi nallycat i downloaded the 3d builder to inspect my parts.i am not sure what to look for? so i made a little video. the pic is superman when he was young.lol.

nallycat · Answer

@Normad 6R   Hi I just completed the file repair and did not find anything except a few duplicate triangles.  I suggest that you Print this with the way repositioned it that is from the small side down, it will take less time and should eliminate any print errors and have less support material.  here is the repaired file. chest big +head servo.stl  if you have any questions you know how to find me.

Nomad 6R · Answer

a new error with 3d printing.layer chift.anyone knows what to do?

nallycat · Answer

@Normad 6R The print head collided with something. Maybe something got in the way of the printer, or maybe plastic has been piling up on part of the print and then the print head hit that spot. Your printer is trying to move too fast and the motors cannot keep up.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi nallycat too fast , i will try slower then. thanks for fast respons.

Nomad 6R · Answer

okay i tested it.lower speed is inddeed much better.but stil i have layer chift.in the begin and last part of the print.

Nomad 6R · Answer

here is a pic with error message.   seems pic below is not correct.

nallycat · Answer

try the print without the raft.  there is an error and I am not familiar with your printer screen,  not sure what I am seeing.  reset the Printer to DEFAULT SETTING you may  have entered a setting that is not correct for your printer.  I print from my Computer using a USB cable using a very good Program called Simplify3d.    If the data flow to the printer is interrupted for even a second it can lose  it's  position and start printing in the wrong position.  if you are using a Mem card in the printer to print from   format that card and reinstall the .stl file.  if you are using a usb cable remove from computer and printer  cable and switch the ends.  check to see if you have the cable near a high voltage source like it's power supply and move the cable away from this. even shielded cable can loose the data flow with an  electrical pulse. remove all the stepper motor cables one at a time and reseat on the controller card. check your ground connection.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi nallycat i found this video with all settings for ender-3 and with your tip off setting speed lower.it works. i cant paste video's here? but as seen in pic above ,the numbers 500 chould be 2500x2500x100x25. now the robot is assembled and now comes the flaws in the design.lol:( few things to adjust.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hello nallycat:D question ,how can i reduce some support on my 3d prints? if thats a good idea ? i al using cura 4.5.0

nallycat · Answer

@Nomad 6R   I do not use cura with the program simplify3d I can put the supports where I want, or reduce the amount  of support material I don't know if  cura has this capability. but usually I just reposition the part on the build plate, as long as the object does not have an overhang of more then 45 degree it can be printed without support, the change I made to your part that I checked for you. I sent it back to you on it's short side. there was an angle to the rest  of the part but it was under 45 degree.  and could have been printed without support  one overhang at the top may have been rough at the bottom.  another way of saying you don't have to print flat.  sometimes printing from a corner for example only puts support to hold the part in that position. that may reduce the support material.

Nomad 6R · Answer

mickey thank you for the picture.very helpfull. Ezang you mean the yellow robot?if yes all parts are reddy. soon i start testing walk gait.

EzAng · Answer

Nomad, nallycat  does not like PLA?  Why? Is ABS better?  What mm? EzAng

Nomad 6R · Answer

abs is much stronger but you need some experiants . also your printer need to be in a sorta case . thats why start with pla .you also need isopropyl to clean the bed.also UHU sticks, there a lot off stuff to learn,one of the most is bed leveling.aldo yours is automatic,stil needs to check by hand. on a roll filament you can read the temperature use the highest reading.each color is diff. i use esun cause there rolls are transparent.so you can see howmuch filament you have left.  ask alot off questions.

EzAng · Answer

is the PETG  1.75mm? EzAng

Nomad 6R · Answer

i forgot.see the instruction off your printer.i gess the nozzle is 0.4 mm and filament 1.75 mm   printer c10

ok I will check when it gets here, thanks

Nomad 6R · Answer

you have petg in 1.75 . petg 1.75

EzAng · Answer

great news, thanks again

Nomad 6R · Answer

petg is kinda rubber.here a pic see label temp,nozzle,bed,color and size. this sticker is also on the roll.

EzAng · Answer

Thanks Nomad, I ordered all 3 to see how they print for myself: PLA, ABS and PET G Just got cleaned up from bush hogging some of my property Did I miss anything?  lol EzAng

nallycat · Answer

@Normad 6R   PETG is the same plastic they use to make soft drink bottles out of,   it is not rubber but printed thin it has some flexibility.  use the highest temp list on the box for extruder the bed temp use 65 deg and make sure you use retraction if you don't you will have lots of strings.  to join 2 pieces together use Weldon 3 it is a solvent bond.  use acetone to bond ABS.  I do not use PLA as it deforms at 75 deg no good for robots.   PETG is very resistant to damage.  if you think differently try to rip a coke bottle good luck with that.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi nallycat oh is flex then maybe the rubber one?thanks  for correcting me.

EzAng · Answer

nallycat, you seem to know a lot about 3d printers, the dos and don'ts. Can you make a list or your findings? I know it will help me and others. Also let's see some of your prints, thanks, EzAng

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi EzAng 1 first see that you have all item's,filament,UHU sticks,isopropyl 90% 2learn your printer ,buttons how to use it. 3learn your slicer and tinkercad 4learn leveling off the bed very important to even get a print done. 5 test print learn how to get a print to stick on the bed,and how to clean your bed after. you can make a testprint with raft .that gifs you time to see if your bed is level. uhu sticks

nallycat · Answer

@EzAng  I am just finishing the head od ZOE that Mickey was so nice to give us.  it will be just a little longer, you can see one of my two Inmoov robots and they were printed on my flsun large delta printer.  I always use a glass bed with hairspray "AUSSIE" and never have parts warping and coming off the build table.  as you know I don't put much of my work on this site as I am sure you know the reason.  Here is Brucee a few years ago when I made his new elbows. have a look.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfD0saECb0A  I will make a  list for printing when I find the time for you.  all my prints are in PETG with some nylon carbon fiber infused filament  for gears. Thanks for your comment.    glad you will be joining the 3D printing group.

EzAng · Answer

thanks for the response  I am not sure about what you mean, " as you know I don't put much of my work on this site as I am sure you know the reason. Not here long enough, Not sure what reason, can you explain? I will watch the video when I get out of the farm , country land I have, I am on a phone hot stop, no internet out here :-) Anyway I will wait for the 3d printer tutorial list, thanks EzAng

Mickey666Maus · Answer

@nallycat Super stoked that you printed the head already!! Let me know once you have hooked him up to some servos for testing!! Where can we find more of your work, do you have a website?

nallycat · Answer

@Mickey666Maus    I have added a mouth to ZOE and I am still working on the mechanism to make it work.  Mickey when you make 2 large inmoov robots you become very good at 3d printing and you get fast at printing.  I am not at my best when designing parts but I am getting better.   I don't have a website, I always had the desire to have one but never got around to it.  I should say I admire your presentations of ZOE on synthiam, they are very professional.  Thanks again for the .stl files for ZOE.

hi cem ok i have it.thanks

nallycat · Answer

Nomad   You might want to have a look at the inmoov quiet Jaw,  I changed my inmoov to this as it makes less noise it is easier to setup and the big advantage is the mouth closes fully when inmoov quits talking.  the old jaw design made the mouth difficult to shut the mouth fully and I did not like the look.  the quiet jaw is on thingiverse      https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2787185

hi mickey lot off work now .lol need to finich 3 robot now .xD just testing some parts from inmoove. thanks

Nomad 6R · Answer

added the LED in the fingers.  waiting for parts

Nomad 6R · Answer

auch sometimes learning cost money. i saw a video on youtube from a guy removing the filament, just by pulling it out.i though that is an easy way . i did samething, and i got this.   yep a little filament broke off just above the heatblock. i had to cut the tube to get it out. new boden tube cost 40 euro.  and waiting again. the lesson is ,use the option on your printer, to get the filament out ,not by pulling it out. some update hand inmoov.  the horn is on the gear with screws .

nallycat · Answer

@Normad 6R      Told you so, what next the torso or the waist.    LOL    Bruce-e thinks he will have a new friend soon.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hey nallycat the torso would be a good start.need to look how all fit together. good thinking off brucexD.

nallycat · Answer

@Nomad 6R   to fit the torso parts together, and as long as you are using PETG  you boil water in a long enough pan to hold the edge of the torso parts and you hold  the edge with the dove tails  into the water wait about 30 to 40 seconds and remove from the water using a hammer put the dove tails  over the slots and lightly hammer the dove tails down into the slots, you get a perfect fit.   you join the parts together using Weldon 3 by wiping the joint with a brush.  this is a very strong bond.

Nomad 6R · Answer

nallycat thanks for the tip.i still use pla for the moment. test part

nallycat · Answer

Normad  PLA is not acrylic  but PETG is and you can glue it with any acrylic glue.  have you watched Will Huff's Droid Bartender build.  it is PETG and you can join parts together using a soldering iron.  you are wasting your time using PLA on a large robot,  get yourself some PETG and start making inmoov parts.  I would not use PLA for anything used in robotics. If you printer can be used with ABS then start using that, save the PLA for owl sculptures.

Nomad 6R · Answer

okay abs will be .petg is to expencive here . 80 euro's per 1 kilo + chipping almost 100 euro's

cem · Answer

Nomad, I don’t know why PETG filament would be so expensive in Belgium, here in the UK, it’s not much dearer than ABS or PLA. Usually I find 3D printing parts cheaper in Belgium and Holland than in the UK. Have you looked on Amazon?

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi cem

and goodmorning here. one roll cost 30 euro's pteg or abs .i order always two rolls. chipping cost 27 euro's . thats some 87 euro for two rolls . there is only white/black or red to get here. i love grey . i cant by amazon .they dont have paypal . qustion how many roll did you need to build your inmoov?

thanks for the tip

Nomad 6R · Answer

cem when i set my printer for abs .can i  print pla too .or are the settings only for abs then.

Mickey666Maus · Answer

Now your are hooked on building an InMoov!! Looks like a lot of fun!!!

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi mickey goodmorning too .xD am just calculating the cost . printing is fun and rewarding ,do a complete inmoov is a huge cost.

cem · Answer

Nomad, it’s a shame you don’t use Amazon, I have Amazon Prime and get free shipping on Filament. Obviously you have to be careful on who you get it from, but I haven’t had any bad filament yet!

Regarding how many rolls of filament I used on my InMoov I don’t know as I built it over a long period of time, and still keep adding to it. I think the main costs are the Servos and electronics. It is a huge cost and a lot of time in building a InMoov. But great fun!!

If you go into the InMoov website I’m sure people have asked about how much filaments is needed to build a InMoov before and have been asked many times in the forum, you can do a search.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i send a mail to amazon with the question how i can by . they said they will look into it. sofar nothing.i do like amazon cause they have alot . i am redesigning the part where the eyes go in.i wanna use ez robot micro servo's .

Nomad 6R · Answer

here a new design ,its called the eye offset. i modified it .now you can use ez robot micro servo's tomorow some more test .here's how it looks.  here a test for the dove tail .fits like a glove.

EzAng · Answer

What kind of string do you use for the fingers?

nallycat · Answer

The string used for the finger is fishing line not string  1000 test the reason is not just strength but because the larger diameter causes less wear on the joints.  if you use PETG you can use much lighter fishing line as PETG is very resistant to abasing .

EzAng · Answer

thanks again nallycat So what do you use with PETG?

Nomad 6R · Answer

nallycat another great tip.i used katoen string for now .

Nomad 6R · Answer

waiting for parts for the inmoov . funny thing happened . i adjusted the servo holster for using the HDD ez robot servo's. all went well untill i saw the head only moves about 2 cm up or down . thats when it hit me why the robot builders use the potentio meter .lesson learned . start doing some test printing . djeez these robot cost alot off money on ebay. here's the head . the one dj has cost some 300 dollars bummer .

Jeremie · Answer

You’ll need the potentiometer still (glued in the center position) or solder 2 identical resistors in its place. 2.2k or 2.49kohms are good values to use.

hi ezang  what do you think, what servo to use for the head .continious rotation ? thats the one with the red horn.

robo rad · Answer

Looking great Nomad!:D

EzAng · Answer

Nomad, the only rotation kit I use with my Mr. Roman bot is is the DFrobot  Hexa Base Rotate Kit with ARC https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1213.html Don't see how it would work for you EzAng

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi ezang indeed that woulld not work .

Nomad 6R · Answer

worm gears in place .  jeremie the soldering of the resistors for the continious rotation worked great. thanks

EzAng · Answer

Nomad, do you use actuators for the neck / head movements?

Nomad 6R · Answer

ezang to oblique the head i use normal HDD 180 servo for now . i dont have a clue what to do for the front servo . i dont get  no notification on this topic.

EzAng · Answer

You know, maybe his mouth can open a little more , if you can when he speaks just a thought EzAng

Nomad 6R · Answer

ezang yes he can . ithink the mouth doesn open much when there is to much distortion the mp3 file . when he speaks it great .

cem · Answer

Nomad, have you played around with the delay settings under the Talk Servo, to get Inmoov’s mouth more in sync with the words. Also adjust the max and min to get his mouth opening more?

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi cem  yes i did . it just happened when there is much distortion in the mp3 file . admin i dont get notification when someone replay to my topic.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i found a way to control a continious rotation from start to finich. 1 make in the movement panel a motion stop and ad a port and set to 90 degrees. 2 make a script write  stop() 3 second script write move(d12,"forward") ( you can use any port ) sleep(100) controlCommand("Auto Position", "AutoPositionFrameJump", "Stop") the lower the sleep the chorter the servo will move . sleep(10) is about 1 MM the higher the sleep the longer the servo will turn. the servo stops auto when reached the sleep. here a little video

robo rad · Answer

Hey right on Nomad  glad you got it going!

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi roborad thanks for the link . tomorow i give  my inmoov a yes motion.

robo rad · Answer

Ya Synthiam Arc has so many great servo movement panels,I spent a whole month 2 years ago getting complex movements on my out door Terminator arms and BB gun HDD servos. Follow scripts to shoot at targets "search and destroy" look for red target (Need to Hide if I was wearing a red shirt) then terminator would pause,say something and shoot the gun at target red, all full intelligence no remote control, very fun,was cool.

Looking good Nomad :-)

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi ezang this is the setting and parts for the inmoov movement left&right.

Dave Schulpius · Answer

Hi Nomad. Nice idea on using atto position for a CR servo. However what if the servo moves somehow after power down? How do you really know where your position moves will end up next time you power up?

Perry_S · Answer

Hi Nomad, nice to see the progress. I have a few questions/suggestions as I have built an inmoov before.  -The joint you are working on and showing in your pic is to tilt the inmoov chest, not rotate it, correct? -That is one of the higher stress positions in an inmoov. I am not sure that standard size servos will cut it. I guess you will find out and be able to tell us! -The servos need to be electrically connected such that they only receive one input signal. The reason Gael set it up that way is because you will never be able to sync them correctly after power down and during power up.  Great progress so far and thanks for sharing. It is an adventure to build an inmoov.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi perry that is correct .movement chest left&right . i used a splitter HDD contineus rotation from ez robot . am thinking they have metal gears .i will sure post a video when reddy . they do work perfect at same time .  thank you for the tip .

finally with the help from synthiam i can control the contineus rotation perfect . i made a bridge that stands for the inmoov body .just to see what it does . more printing .

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi perry S what is the purpose of these 4 bolts ?

Perry_S · Answer

The purpose for those bolts is to hold the collar to the waist plate. You will notice the collar holds a set screw that engages the waste rotation gear as well. This is how he will rotate at the waste. Also about the demo video you posted. If you put a pivot point in that cross bar like the inmoov is set up I fear you will start to have problems.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi perry S the cross bar is just for testing . i was thinking the 4 bolts are to keep tention between the , top plate and lower plate so the ball bearings wil not fall out . thanks for your time .

Nomad 6R · Answer

secret hiding for the iotiny .xD also the batt fit in there. turn waist &tilt sides goes on the iotiny.

Perry_S · Answer

I think that red part is on backwards

Nomad 6R · Answer

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi perry S  i have a question . i have posted it on inmoov site but get always an error message ( you use an inapropiate word )? am lookin for a foto's ,video how the stand is mounted on the waist . and what is this slot for in the picture ?

Perry_S · Answer

I'm not sure what that slot is for and I can't remember from assembling my first inmoov.

Nomad 6R · Answer

perry S  ah ok . i will look further then . thanks

Nomad 6R · Answer

little update  i modified the  low waist stand .you can use now a bolt and nut . nut is with locker 4 mm ,the bolt is 4.27 long 4 mm. and pre hole for attach on the pole . also extra support for extra screw or bolt&nut 4 mm .

Perry_S · Answer

Those are good mods Nomad.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi perry S thanks .there some parts that can be a little better . the above part .one screw hole is to close to the side . thats why i connected the two rails .now you can ad a screw more to support that hole.

Nomad 6R · Answer

another new idea .the front body waist covers but apart . they break off very easly .so i made them separt .to mount with one screw .

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi perry S do you have the correct size off this gear ? i have two diff size when upload this part .

Nomad 6R · Answer

who remeber this robot named archie robot off steel . this was my first fav robot .  so am testing a archie head .  i separated the original jd rgb housing from his head . and put that in the head .tomorow testing how it looks and if it works . i also made an inner plate to store eye LED and mouth LED.

Perry_S · Answer

Yes, that seller is sketchy as heck. I have seen those robots before and they are made by a Chinese company that steals designs. They also sell a preprinted robot that is directly off the inmoov STL files. Gael can't stop them. Also, I looked at that sellers store and they only had a few items for sale. The other item does not give me a lot of confidence in their operations.

reminder for all who uses 3d printers . i notes for some time am short of breath some headtaches . running nose . this morning i stood up and had no breakfast or took any medication and my nose start running . little headaches . i had started only my 3d printer . alot of chemicals come free when printing . use printers in a good ventilated area . ABS is the most danger one . astma from printing .

Nomad 6R · Answer

here's a video how to make a ventilation .

Dave Schulpius · Answer

Brother, vent, vent, vent. I truly hope you and everyone living with you will be ok and have not been permanently hurt by this. Are you going to build and enclosure like in the video you attached? Seems like the thing to do. You've said before that you live in a apartment building? Hopefully you have a way to vent the fumes outside. Maybe through the bathroom exhaust vent?

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi dave  yes i need to build something if wanna print more . i had no idea i was sick from printing . and i had two printers going . there chould be a warning when bying these printers . i put it up here for people who prints all night for days . be carefull guy's youre in the danger zone before you notest its the printer .

Nomad 6R · Answer

howdy folks first thing. i had some problem with my extruder . filament didn go thru . as i learned to check the copper gear and it was worn out . you can if you dont have a spare lift the gear up or down to find a good spot . here a picture worned gear . the middle of the gear is almost gone .   and so i placed a new one . and had some 70% improvement so not fully fixed. i was practise with some flex filament . and it was diff . but then i notest something els . i learned when one thing is worned out replace the complete set . as seen picture below .amazing . the filament went thru the metal hole .  and now some good news . the test hand is almost done . TADA   my first flex knokkels . temp 239 nozzle and bed 60 temp. standard speed ender3 pro . medium flex is skin color . the most importent i notest is , you have to adjust the spring from the , extruder very accurate . you have to do that with a raft . that gifs you plenty of time to adjust . flex is strecheble and , bent before its thru the extruder . its really adjusting by  a 1/4 of a turn , and keep your eyes on the raft and the gear very carefull . when it start to , go wrong pinch the spring together and pull back the flex until the knob is out and adjust 1/4 . of a circle. you have to keep this doing aslong the flex goes constant , smooth thru the extruder . i had to try about 5  times .  flex filament  now have some rest and making bagage am going on holiday tomorow . DUH.

Nomad 6R · Answer

here a short video . from the hand . https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cgwHdjULjag

Dave Schulpius · Answer

Wow, you must really run that printer of yours to wear it out like that. LOL.  That Flex seems to work amazing for that hand. I wonder how it will stand up to ware as the joint gets bend back and forth over time.  Have fun! Don't forget to vent that printer.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hey dave  well we will know howlong the knokkels last . i was surprized that the ender3 pro , could print flex . normal is only for . PLA?ABS? and PTEG . another problem is will the fingers go back in srand position . thanks

Nomad 6R · Answer

solved the finger back to position .it needs a little spring . yellow arrows is a tiny space for the spring to sit .  and a short video how the finger retracts . i tested a random spring .  https://www.youtube.com/shorts/j6ZxX9W9WOY

Nomad 6R · Answer

goodmorning all i woke up and instant i wanted to print . haha problem nm 1 filament got stuck in the nozzle . okay set nozzle temp 255 and you can pull out the filament . then came THE axcully problem that cause all other problems .and that is the complete , block were the nozzle sits was loose ,thinking how i gonna solved that ? after some time , i saw the light .see picture . the below roller has an axel thats out of center . when you use L-wrench and turn to left or right you put back good tention on the top 2 roller . and that was the main problem of bad always diff prints . level the bed after that .

Nomad 6R · Answer

how to get very strong 3d parts .wel this guy in the video knows it . i tested the settings and my parts looking very nice and are alot more stronger .

Dave Schulpius · Answer

Thanks Nomad. That was really interesting. I don't 3D print but I enjoyed that and learned something. I really want to get into 3D printing someday soon. I can see how it could help me build better stuff. However, I'm having a hard time moving away from old ways. I'm kinda old school when it comes to building something. I'll grab some aluminum or polycarbonate, a bandsaw and drill press and start measuring, cutting and shaping. I have a hard time sitting down and taking the time to put a design into a CAD program or onto paper to plan it first. I should try to move away from this a little and get the process out of my head. That may keep me from having to rebuild things two or three times to get them to work. LOL! I make so many brackets by hand to mount components. I've always thought that if I could do the process in software first and then 3D print them, This would be so much better. However till recently I felt that 3D printing was still not to the point that it was easy to understand, implement with good results.  Then there is the final print on areas that need to look smooth. Resolution is very important to me and I hate the finishing process that would need to be done to make a 3D printed surface look smooth. I understand there are methods to make this process easier and the printers are coming now that print in higher resolutions. I think these printers and software are just about ready for someone like me to make the jump into this world. I really think it's the way of the future for building things. I saw a movie recently where there was a spaceship that crashed on Mars. They needed to get to the base that was set up for them before they got there. The needed to 3D print the parts they needed for the damaged equipment so they could survive. This makes so much more sense then trying to carry parts you think you may need into places you have no way to get them.  The big thing I dream of doing with a 3D printer (other then make small parts and brackets) is to start printing a full sized Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet. I've found that there are high quality STL's of this life sized robot. I couldn't imagen how long it would take to print the pieces for something like this. I can seeing me having to buy 2 or three printers!   LOL

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi dave i like to modified parts and make them stronger . her's an excample . fragiel trigger from a AR15 . i made it thicker in TC and see the result .  you will have some errors and forget some things withs is very annoing. but doing is again makes you mentally stronger . the feeling when , your print is sucsesfull is awesome . but you have to learn bit by bit . the creality ender3 pro is the best for beginners . and use glas bed . also remember when you mod a part most likly you have to adjust more . reinforced trigger . top has 1 mm spring in it .    if you have stl's from robbie . i have time enought to have a look at it .

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi printing a riffle is  not so very robotic . but its a great way to understand 3d printing. all the stuff that can go wrong , what you forgot to ad . it similar like what iphone did . you take designs from others  and modified them . ask the designers or mention his/her name , in your design . so they get the credit . here sofar my design AR-15 . with scope and org viser . i used a door spy  funny . now soon there will be no door spy availble in stores just kidding i hope .  you can still use the org viser and its adjustble in hight .  you can see thru , underneed the top rail and use it .    is someone wants to try this .i send you a folder for free . also other type's are availeble for free . if you can let it work , you can 3d print . also needed are springs , bolts and nut .  i dont want to place the folder here cause its a robotic forum .

Nomad 6R · Answer

here some more pictures . you can take off the scopen and top rail . its changeble .

Nice designs incorporated into that little guy. I love the clutched joints. I'd like to know how they work and are installed.  A lot of young people these days wouldn't know that was a phone. Nor would they know how to use it if it was functional. Time marches on.

Dave Schulpius · Answer

I feel for you, your loved ones, friends and country my friend. I hope you and yours find a way though all this. Life changing problems for sure. We all need to pray that things level off and start to get better soon. For Belgium and the rest of the world. Seems it's getting hard all over. I hope our leaders wake up soon and find a way to ease the suffering.  Until then, I hope you find a way to enjoy yourself somehow for a while now and then and withdraw from the stress.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi all did anyone found a gear like this one but with 50 teeth and 60 teeth ? gear

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi all a little video about what am trying to do . cause bying servo's chipping,customs, and send to my house , turns out the cost is high at the moment . so i wanna try to , avoid warrenty by not opening the servo's . lot off testing . i found a seller who is looking for the metal gears for me .  the ones i have are 40 teeth .25 spline . the mistake i made earlier , was i thought bolt wormgear turns eather left or right but thats , not the case . bolt has to turn inwarts or outwarts to turn the big gear .

Dave Schulpius · Answer

Thanks for showing us. I'm glad you're staying busy and enjoying yourself.  I'm not sure how your design is set up but can you reprint the servo mounting bracket to move the servo gear closer to the drive gear? You probably know this but if you increase the size of the servo gear you will drastically change the speed of the final gear or wheel. In your case it will move slower but have more torque.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hey dave  actully i didn know that . good you mention that . i cant get the plate closer cause then i have no room for , the screws to go in . its about 2 mm .so am gessing the , speed will not change so much . thanks

wow, never seen that Maybe change the "view"

EzAng · Answer

Which windows are you using 7, 10, 11

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi ezang i have a windows 10 .

EzAng · Answer

I have windows 11 so a little different try 1. Open File Explorer. 2. Click on the View tab. 3. Click on the Options button. 4. Click on the View tab. 5. Click the Reset Folders button.

Nomad 6R · Answer

nope that is for folder options . but i learn something new thanks .

Dave Schulpius · Answer

Try this: *Open your folder you want to change in File Explorer. *Once your folder is open click on the View tab like EZ Ang mentioned.  *Once this tab opens look to the left and you should see different view options like "Extra Large Icons, Small Icons, List, Detail and more.  *Click on each one till you get the view you want. I don't know what you consider "normal" but I like the "Details" view.  *I'm a little sketchy on how to get it to stick. Maybe you don't have to do anything and it will save this view. However you may now need to follow EzAng's steps but when you get to the options/view tab click on "Apply to Folders". That should make all your folders look like the options you just set. In addition there is a "Restore Defaults" button on the bottom of that tab you can use and the windows default view setting will take place.  Follow my advice at your own risk. LOL. Good luck.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi dave i figured the folder option .but am lookin for the file options . i know i have to click on file , choose properties . the one original is not in the choose options .  this foto is what i mean with normal .  thanks

Dave Schulpius · Answer

Other then the suggestion I offered I can't really help anymore. Sorry. I've always struggled with this setting also.  In the past I've done a google search to find out how to make changes to the setting and views I need in Windows. However it seems that the guides and suggestions I get always seem outdated and the steps incorrect to make the change. Windows seems to always change the way you work with it. Ugh.  Good luck. I know it's frustrating.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi averyone i notest for some time now , my extruder gets very hot .so i replaced with a new one . and still have desame problem . today i figured it out . at one time i replaced the nozzle . same dia and 0.04 . thats when the problem started . there are two things that can go , wrong and heat up the extruder. first one using a nozzle with longer treath , that will , cause the bottem off the ptfe tube to crush so the filament can not go thru easy . second is the replace the nozzle with a shorter treath withs causes the filament , to leak in the heatblock and cause a blokkage . here's a picture ,see the yellow line , for cause number 2 the gap . the heat of the extruder should be some hand warm . if its hot you have a problem . to solve the problem . take off the nozzle and push , the ptfe tube all the way thru , then take out the ptfe tube all the way after cleaning. put the nozzle back in , and then the tube all the way untill it touches the nozzle . you can do this cold . use desame nozzles always . even if you print several days , the extruder should still be hand warm .

The thermal runaway error occurs when the hotend is unable to reach its target temperature within a certain amount of time while printing. This tends to happen when the fans are set relatively high (80-100%) during the first few layers of printing.

hi dave i found tree problems . the power supply gives  only half power 11.94 volt insteadt of 24 volts . and the motherboard is killed . i orderd new parts cause they are cheap .60 euro for complete power supply, and 34 euro complete heatblock include all fans . i saw the video about thermal runaway . the thermistor was complete gone . what i also notes wat the speed from the fans went up&down.  thanks for the tip .

hi all printer is after 4.5 months back to be used . it was a very anoing 4.5 months .  so what was the main problem , firts the power supply was bad . the main board was bad , also the new board was bad , also the new heatblock whit the fan's was not ok . the termister wires were exposed that gives a beep sound when power the printer . the first powersupply was damage on arival in the shop , another 3 weeks later, they send another one . so what caused all these errors ? my opinion is this . when starting printing , the fan of the board doesn start running . also the side fan , heatblock doesn start running . only the fan's of the powersupply and front heatblock, are running .  i see no setting in cura to for starting all fan's when printing starts . you can start all fans in the tune setting after the printing has allreddy started . i'm printing with the old board and have a regular check untill the new board arrives . first print  finiching the legs now . just the ankle and feets left to do .

For parts that contain ball bearings or need extra stiffness, I use gyroid infill with 5 walls and Outer wall first .By printing the outer wall first, you gain a lot of dimensional accuracy. The plastic won't be 'pushed' outward by the infill.
