Well it's nothing special yet, Just starting out the thread on what will be my box turtle, haven't decided on a colour scheme yet but im thinking to try and keep it as 'neutral' as possible so it doesn't matter which printer i sit it on, i'll go with Black & Grey/White.

My most notable mod is going to be adding a 5th set of spools, these may not be functional right away but it will be in there 🙂

won’t fit a 300mm 2.4 right

covert mountain
#

wide turtle

wanton zephyr
#

I don't believe so, mines a 350, which measures 510mm across, this measures 490mm

#

So i need to find a way to use up 20mm, i was thinking of maybe just printing some 5mm wide spacers to fit between each of the lanes, OR i might make 1 of the lanes 20mm wider to use wider spools, (i have a few 100mm wide spools of PLA here)

calm flare
#

very neat !

wanton zephyr
#

And taking inspiration from @tired hawk i printed my first few parts, TPU Tyres pinted in Geetech 95A TPU from Amazon using The V0 with Orca fuzzy skin, doing one at a time as to not get stringing between the outside walls but they look good so far.

tired hawk
#

yes i also print them one at a time on my prusa mini.

#

or for the feet, i do complete separate objects and do them all in one go but spaced out.

covert mountain
#

im a heathen or something
i printed 8 in one go

tired hawk
#

#

I admittedly have barely tuned tpu and it is on a bowden setup

covert mountain
#

literally no adjustments to my PLA profile, just slowed it down to 80mm/s
and temps

#

245/40

tired hawk
wanton zephyr
#

did this at 250/50oC and max speed of 120mm/s
Other than that no tuning at all.

covert mountain
#

🤷‍♂️
I dreaded tpu the firs time, and then was like, oh its basically the same

tired hawk
#

it's mostly fine except for the retractions between walls/objects for me

wanton zephyr
#

yea 😂 been printing for about 7-8 years now and only just bought TPU again, i did buy it once way way back but it was a different game when i had my Anet A8 😂 that thing never managed 1 layer of TPU.

i got a few very small strings on the inside but not many, set my seams to nearest & enabled scarf and used concentric top/bottom layers.

The v0 seems to be managing TPU like a champ with the Orbiter 2 + Bambu X1 hotend

Interesting, I've been learning alot more about kinematics of late since i built the stinger, legit didnt even know what SCV was a month ago, just that more = breaks stuff.

#

I converted the stinger to be AWD on the X and i can speed test it (no mass) on X&Y upto 1500mm/s @ 144k Accel with SCV of 100.

cpap is on my list of things to do to it. The 2.4 is printing my first ever Delta (Doron Velta) parts as we speak 🙂 excited to play with that.

First part (other than tyres) printed, chosen colour is cosmic silver from Filamentive.

All of the accent parts are finished, and the last tray is printing as we speak 🙂
@covert mountain are we safe to print the e-Spooler parts from the latest version yet?

Brilliant, should have it all printed tonight then! then to wait 2 weeks for the BOM and my holiday to be over.

wanton zephyr
#

Well lots of the BoM arrived today, no update as yet as I spent the day rushing to finish building my new delta printer so I have a clear headspace for BoxTurtle once everything is here 🙂 I’m getting more excited by the day! Seeing all of these builds coming together is making me insanely jealous.

Oooo almost all here, just some bearings missing that should arrive tomorrow 🙂

#

yea i clamped it to a steel beam thats straight, then i set the saw at a 90degrees using my machinist square and screwed it in place, so its within a few degrees at least, the frame is assembled now and its marginally out of square but only by around 2mm, and its not a printer so it doesn't matter all that much.

wanton zephyr
#

Well that’s a snug fit, may have to rethink my choice of board 😂 or just kill off the ERCF early and swap in the MMB

IMG_3927.jpg IMG_3926.jpg IMG_3925.jpg
#

Or I could just desolder the usb socket and replace it with a shorter type c socket, that could also work.

# tired hawk v23 cad is the latest

Not when i printed those it wasnt 😄 i've got the latest for everything else, just somehow plucked the wrong disks, but its all good, i now have the latest (skinnier) wheels and a set of tyres printing im ALMOST at the point where i have one complete tray 😄

#

Oh and my ERCF clogged so i butchered it and pilaged its MMB and also ordered a 2nd MMB with a full set of 2209's 😄

#

for now ill pinch a few extra EZ2209's from my V0 until the new ones arrive.

26AWG for the Endstops and Mini motors
i believe the stuff i have for the Nema's is 24 or 22 AWG, id have to check

this looks....so.....GOOD !

wanton zephyr

Thanks 🙂

tired hawk
#

i'm also in the wiring phase 🙂

wanton zephyr
#

I can only wire up 4 of the Steppers until i get my 2nd MMB delivered, so if i do get it working it will be with 4 spools OR i'll throw an old MCU in there to run the 5th.

Regardless im glad its all moving properly.

#

I need to model & print the rear skirt & 5-to-1 block

Looking really good 👍 keep the detailed updates coming, especially the challenges with the 5th spool, I'm planning to do the same and go with a 5 spool version 😀

Can’t wait to fire it up! Hopefully tomorrow.

#

Little sneak peek at the wiring job 🙂 as i used black and red for both switches on each lane I needed a way to differentiate so i used black and white JST connectors 🙂

It should all sit nice and snug when I tighten the cable ties 🙂

tired hawk
#

shouldn't controller be aligned with fan port?

wanton zephyr
#

If I had a fan port sure :p it doesn’t need it though, I have a spot for another MMB on the other side and may mount a fan on the bottom blowing upward instead to keep the skirts neat

tired hawk
#

ah right you're doing a 5 lane one

wanton zephyr
#

And for the build log, loading and unloading in action 😍 Sadly im off on holiday for the next week but on my return, it will be getting finished off and moved ontop of my printer.

The only scary thing is that it seems the wheel does very little to actually turn the spool is it expected behavior

covert mountain
#

looks to me like too much tension on the feed trigger, but the respooler acts different when the stepper is actually pushing the filament back so 🤷‍♂️

calm flare
#

Maybe it's a combination of both too much tension and the PTFE tube beeing to high so the spool isn't pressing enough on the wheel 🤷‍♂️

wanton zephyr
#

It’s very slap dash together for a functional test I’ll tune it when I’m back and have the new mmb delivered, then I can finish wiring it and tune it up 🙂 I think I need to remove the rgb wiring and come up with a new route for it, maybe even run it along the inside of the 2020 under a cover.

wanton zephyr

No updates 😦 other than I have a new hat but I just got a loaaaad of emails saying everything needed to finish it has been delivered 😬😬

my wife is eager to get box turtle off the kitchen table

so im having to reprint everything, and throwing filametrix in there too.

24ga fep wire

#

things you find when beta testing... didnt consider people using different size wire

wanton zephyr
#

It would actually be fine if the skirts were slightly shaved, there is no need for them to be the full 20mm deep imo, 15 would leave a massive amount of cable management space.

#

or even 17.5

covert mountain
#

changes all the skirts

wanton zephyr
#

ive made custom fronts anyways 😛

#

Just whipped them off for now to give clearance during testing 😄

covert mountain
#

actually a really good point

#

wouldnt save all that much material though

wanton zephyr
#

i wouldn't worry too much about asthetics right now.

#

Meh not about material, more about space 😄

covert mountain
#

aesthetics and function go hand in hand at this stage

wanton zephyr
#

It’s close boys! It’s very close all 5 lanes are firing now with all LEDs and Triggers working to activate the spools, it’s confusing as heck having a v1 and v1.1 board in the same machine 😂 sent me in circles but it seems to be working well.

IMG_4075.jpg
#

Printed G2E-Filametrix today so I’ll rebuild the toolhead tomorrow and hopefully get the first print running! 😬😬😬

wanton zephyr
#

Turns out a few of the endstop ports are high on boot, which means the motors run for a while before it runs PREP and pulls them down. Thats horrendous! will need to move them around.

#

great job

#

progress

wanton zephyr
#

They like to wonder off and fall off the rollers 😦 but I think it’s because my idlers are all the way at the back

covert mountain
#

best can be done for empty spools with out the afc board is make sure the spoolers are low drag as physically possible
and slow the accels down

wanton zephyr
#

It needs everything dialing in for sure, as it stands it’s doing the bare minimum to get filament to the nozzle, I think blobifier is the next major thing needed.

I’m going to dismantle it tomorrow and get Lane 1 working, and print a 5:1 hub & filament cutter because filametrix suuuucks 😂

tired hawk
#

👀 just after i get it printed nad started to be built 😂

wanton zephyr
#

When is the AFC-XL board coming? I don’t wanna have to buy multiples 😂

jagged shoal
wanton zephyr
#

Sounds good 🙂 I don’t mind too much as I’ll be adding a lid eventually so the worse that will happen is they bounce off and fall back onto the rollers 😂

jagged shoal
#

I would just watch, some of mine came off and got wedged in between the wheels that that jammed the extruder

covert mountain
#

you can also try printing out spool weights like people use for the ams

jagged shoal
#

or I will just take a rope and feed it through the middle and tie them down that way 🤣 jk... maybe

wanton zephyr
#

Maybe we need a rethink and to mount the spools by the hub like the AMS lite 😂

covert mountain

wanton zephyr

Haha happy to pay for the AFC would just very much like it to run 5 lanes :p and save me buying it twice. But if needs must, where can I get it? 😂

covert mountain
#

gonna be a bit still
but theyll be available before BT is released to the public

wanton zephyr
#

😪 no problem

#

I’m still loving the idea of adding an MCU on each tray for infinite expansion 😂

covert mountain
#

run fuller spools? or do weights till then?
I can only compensate for the mmb so much

wanton zephyr
#

It’s not a problem for me, I can figure that out, it was @tired hawk That mentioned the jump 😂.

jagged shoal
#

My second line does the same thing as your yellow, I will also figure out something for now.

wanton zephyr
#

🤦‍♂️ found my issue with Leg1, a tiny spec of plastic had fallen into the gears, no idea how it got there but it was binding everything up, now i have a very dismantled BT 😂

calm flare
#

From filament or a random piece ?

wanton zephyr
#

possibly a bit of wire sheilding

calm flare
#

Oh well that's not as bad

That’s better! I still need to model the 5:1 hub to complete it but it loads from all 5 spools now!

Need to get the skirts added back on then come up with a mounting solution, i think it's going to get mounted to the 2.4 frame for added stability 🙂

I will be looking to build a 5 lane also (Soon) have you come up with a cutter solution if your not using filamatrix?

You can do tip forming (depending on the hotend probably)

#

I think the filament cutter / hub from the raven would also work?

wanton zephyr
#

I have just torn EREC from my ERCF and im planning a version of it thats more stand-alone, not sure it will fit inside the box 😄

#

I had planned to get my hands on one of the turtlekneck boards so i could build an AIO solution for it, 5:1 hub with cutter & buffer that can sit on the back of the printer. alas it's not gone to plan thus far, my modeling skills aren't that great and trying to make a 5:1 hub is a pita! i need @covert mountain to make one 😛

misty copper
#

a module cutter sounds like a great idea 🙂 i do agree with @manic arch something based on the raven would be a good start

This is the one from 8track. Very similar in design to erec

#

With the servo and what not

misty copper
#

we definitely need a solution where a toolhead cutter is not possible..

wanton zephyr
#

ah maybe something out there already exists then, i'll take a proper look before i jump into it.

#

i was only going to use EREC because i already have it.

If you have one, it's certainly worth trying 👍

Should end December 8th (after SMRFF)

wanton zephyr
#

It's been a fun morning of soldering and crimping, i want the trays/spoolers to be easily removed this time round so instead of hard wiring the motors and RGB i've added hard wires to the mosfet boards and mounted them next to the spooler with a JST connector to allow for quickly disconnecting and removing the espooler for maintainence.

Wire routes will also be cleaner this time with the MMB's positioned at the sides of the turtle instead of at the back as it previously was and made accessing the wires a nightmare.

Really happy with the results 🙂 especially the RGB Loom.

Theres also 5 beefy LDO motors on the way to replace these awful overheating fysetc ones too!

V2 is wired up, removed the 2nd MMB and fitted an ERB v1 I had in stock as the MMB is overkill for that 1 lane 🙂

#

All the tubes are in, just printing my snappy parts then I need to print my rear skirts and we’re off to the races!

#

the eSpoolers are so much quieter this time and the stepper motors, BMG clone gear sets are all matched, so no more random parts-bin parts, it should be much nicer to configure/use this time round.

#

One rear skirt is done, this is my other side with the removable cables and JST-SM socket for the Snappy 🙂

#

Scratch that, finessed it a little 🙂

#

nice 🙂

#

why jst-sm instead of molex microfit 3?

wanton zephyr
#

because i have JST's 😂

tired hawk
#

valid

wanton zephyr
#

i have ordered a box of microfit but from ali so wont be here for a while.

tired hawk
#

lcsc.com also good for those, jst, endstop switches, etc.

wanton zephyr
#

yea, i should get a load really, I'm going to start work on a better screw/component storage solution soon, im sick of gridfinity on shelves i keep knocking them off 😂

tired hawk
#

i ave a bunch of screwfinity units printed

wanton zephyr
#

yeah thats what i was thinking of doing

#

Sort out all my SHCS, BHCS, FHCS etc theyre all just dumped in one "M3x8" bin atm.

#

and im sick of pouring them out to find the right one

tired hawk
#

#

i spent a fair bit this weekend sorting out my own 'screw bucket'

#

need some double scoop drawers for the fhcs, don't need quite as large a spot for those

wanton zephyr
#

As for screw buckets, sod that if i ever get more than 10 screws of odd sizes i throw em out rather than waste time sorting 😂

tired hawk
#

i ran across a bag of m3x15 screws

cursed

wanton zephyr
#

or they go into an infinate screw bucket that has god knows what in there.

#

ouch, bet you didnt have a label for them?

#

or M3x25, i have a box for M3x24 but no 25

tired hawk
#

m3x25 are pretty common

#

i have a few m3x4 that are a bit weird

I threw out m3x5s as cursed too

wanton zephyr
#

i cant tell the difference, 24x25 live together 😂

#

Dont think ive ever come across m3x4 that i can recall

tired hawk
#

it was part of a random screw assortment kit off amazon

#

same with the m3x5

wanton zephyr
#

i generally just order baggys of 50 or so at a time from AliExpress

#

When i've spent £7 but need to spend £8 for freee shipping, ok... ill have another bag of M3x8's 😂

tired hawk
#

that's restock method #1 now

restock method #2 is spares from new printer fastener kits 😄

wanton zephyr
#

Yup, that too, unless they're weird, ive been throwing out all my fysetc screws as they have a tendancy to go rusty

wanton zephyr
#

Yes! This came out so much better than I expected it to :p now I can quickly unplug it and move it if needs be 🙂 with an easy to attach/detach plug for Snappy too 🙂

IMG_4287.jpg IMG_4288.jpg
#

also, first time i've had rear skirts on there 😂

tired hawk
#

what are you using the USB port for?

#

doing a USB-A to A cable for data?

wanton zephyr
#

Passing USB to the USB-Hub that lives in there that links the 2 MCU's

#

Temporary measure until i find a single board solution.

tired hawk
#

neato

tired hawk
wanton zephyr
#

it is, on the outside the inside is a little janky but i cant help it until i find a better solution, i might order an octopus board 😄

Cleannnn

#

You should make a small pcb to hard mount all those connectors to the skirt. Would be cheap, easy, and I’m sure people would want them

Snappy PCB when.

#

honestly, i just noticed it was wron gwhen i saw the print 🙂

i would have told you had i seen it sooner.

Oooh yes 🙂 this is much nicer

IMG_4291.jpg IMG_4290.jpg
tired hawk
#

did you enlarge the snappy hole for the jst-sm too?

#

i was annoyed to have to depin/repin a microfit to get it to fit thorugh 😉

wanton zephyr
#

Haha no I pinned it after, but if you’d like it widening I will 🙂 I’ve got a few quality of life changes to make 🙂

mild sierra
#

@wanton zephyr Mind sharing the STEP for the Skirt with the connectors?

wanton zephyr
#

Sure I’ll share it tomorrow, it’s for a custom 5 lane version so may need some work.

For what is this? And can you share the step vor the skirt with the serial number and the port for snappy?

That pcb is a mosfet for the n20 motor

#

He didn’t use an afc lite or mosfetti

hardy otter
#

Okay. Thank you very much. That is of course also a solution. I use a pcb similar to mosfetti. I hope to get my box turtle up and running this weekend, that's definitely the plan 🙂

Is that a 5 way hub i can see 🧐

#

Have you considered an Octopus board? It certainly has enough end stops and pins you can configure.. I know nothing about the software side of things, so looking up to those who are far smarterer 😁

wanton zephyr

# wanton zephyr It is :p

Ohhh... when you've tested, please share 😊 I've just started assembling my 5 lane (I wish the calibration print came out before I started printing 😆 poor dremel has earned its keep 😬😂

misty copper
wanton zephyr
#

I can’t take the credit for that 🙂 Robert made it for me to try it out, I was going to post a user mod for Lane 5 to GitHub, I’ll get that done tomorrow and drop a link in user mods 🙂

misty copper
#

Had the boss on the case 💪 I'll be watching how you get on 😉..
No rush on my part, I think I was the first or very close to join the patron beta, and I'm only just getting around to assembly, then 6 months of figuring out how to make it work 😂

wanton zephyr
#

Hmm octopus only has 8 endstops.

5 Lanes needs 11 Endstops

#

Does have 5 heater outputs though for PWM, it could probably be made to work by using other IO pins

misty copper
#

I believe you can get the extra through the IO pins .. quite a lot of possibilities.. what I don't know is what extra functionality the AFC Lite Board provides, but since it's current configuration is 4 ports a board that can be used to provide a better/cleaner integration for more that 4 lanes would be great, jetguy started down this route, but not sure why he stopped..

wanton zephyr
#

I want to make a board for it, I did a massive schematic but I’m not that good at designing PCBs 🤣

I somehow forgot to photograph it, but tonight I successfully got a Fysetc Spider v3 running all 5 lanes in the BT.

It’s possible, although you have to utilise the extra pins available in EXT connectors on the spider

wanton zephyr

#

do you have forward assit with it ?

misty copper
#

Ohh now this is getting interesting 🤔 I'll be holding off the electronics in anticipation of your 1 board 5 lane solution 😉😂

wanton zephyr
#

There’s plenty of 5V supplies on this board using the adjustable fan headers, had to add some GPIO pull ups in the firmware to make sure they’re always on but otherwise it’s working great!

@wanton zephyr very nice! how did you wire 5 spool? There isnt now any board for this 😦

wanton zephyr
#

Custom build 🙂 it uses a different board

misty copper
wanton zephyr
#

It’s super reliable now since I last rebuilt it 🙂 only issue I’ve had is hub switches going bad, it’s killed 3 so far 😂 I’ve got some of the new style ones in stock now so I’ll change it out eventually.

wanton zephyr

Yeah that’s all,

wanton zephyr
# ripe dew and any info about that? 🙂

On my channel 🙂
the board is a Fysetc Spider board with a totally custom config, none of it is ‘out of the box’ hence no real coverage of it as I don’t want a zillion DMs asking me how.

all i need is this bit for the front skirt but cant line it up with the top if i try and cut it

@wanton zephyr did you end up going for the 6V or 12V N20 motors? More voltes seem better

@wanton zephyr Can you please share the complete CAD of your implementation?

@primal niche look you can make more than the 4x lanes 😉

So you could fit one on your 500mm printer with like 8? lanes

frozen compass
#

only if you have 2 afc boards

wanton zephyr
#

This one is no longer part of the Mylo fleet, it matched the Voron 2.4 that i have now sadly sold and the new owner liked the look of the turtle too, so it's been passed down to another content creator along with the matching printer.

They will be here eventually and i'll tag them accordingly as the owner of BBT-03

tired hawk
#

open a ticket and we can do a serial transfer

#

provided they can print a torture turtle and show it's still working 🙂

wanton zephyr

I’ll let them know 🙂

# night spire ok

You really wanna go with the newer trays as they are wayyyy easier to service and remove the espoolers if something goes wrong with them. The beta design you had to remove the trays

I appreciate the information...I'm new to this...but where can I download the latest STL version?

I get a little lost

Perfect... I can ask you questions and queries later on with the configuration etc.
