Re: Fan shroud upgrade

I'm not looking to see which is better :) I am just curious to see what others are using....thank you for your data!

Are you going to add a fan to the front to cool the coupler?

Re: Hand cranked Heart gears

How powerful are your fans? I posted in the shroud thread and noticed the fans I bought move a lot of air. I wanted to compare to the fans you guys were able to source.

I couldn't find Kapton tape locally but I have some aluminum hi temp tape I hope will work!

Re: nGen ?

Ha ha! I'm in the same situation! I am thinking it would be good to print the side pieces with...but wasn't sure it would like no fan!

p.s. Good link...50% fan is what they say...well, perhaps none works even better!

Re: Fan shroud upgrade

Thanks for the tips on alignment of the parts. Well, I can try the print again and just go very slow and steady. XF-CF may be strong but it really, really struggles with any over hang/minor bridge. Fans...I was looking at the airflow CFM. It does push through a lot of air, so perhaps this is exactly...

Re: Fan shroud upgrade

Amedee, tonight I was carefully drilling the holes out of the "fancap top" left and right and the tabs broke off on each :( XTCF-20 just isn't good for those sorts of loops! I need to either print them again or find a way to wire up and use temp shroud to print in PLA/nGen/something that w...

Re: Fan shroud upgrade

I'm curious about the fans you guys are using. I was testing mine and they move a LOT of air...I wonder if too much?

Re: nGen ?

Amedee, what Cura settings are you using for nGen?

Re: Fan shroud upgrade

I have a question with the fan left and right pieces....there isn't a top view, I am wondering if I have them mixed up. I have drill and tapped the holes. Just want to make sure I place what is "left" on the left side, etc. Using Cura to visually explain! Is this the correct orientation? O...

Re: Lulzbot TAZ 6 Review

I really like Tom's channel but I felt he kind of blew the TAZ 6 review....maybe he was in a hurry to be the first one out with a review on it? Or since his channel/blog is now his occupation, he felt hurried? Either way, I am use to his very detailed approach. I was let down on this one

Lulzbot TAZ 6 Review

Interesting...



I didn't hear him talk much about the print quality. I did notice a lot of 3D printed parts on the printer that didn't look exceptionally good (fan shroud, etc)
