Time to rebuild the poor old enderwire! It has spent the last 1.5yrs bouncing around and being stolen from. New electronics are on the way now and I’ve begun disassembly.

#

This poor thing has collected a lot of dust

#

Electronics on the way with birthday money and I’m using a btt pi v1.2 that I got from West3d in a witfb.

#

Current progress of disassembly.

#

Clearly. This upside down rail is the whole reason this printer got stolen from. hehe

nova night
#

I’m excited to get this printer working again. The plan is for this printer (instead of the trident that was supposed to be) to be my ole reliable printer.

#

Having a reliable printer does help

#

And don’t realy think the trident is doing that indeed

#

Do you have any funky plans with it or just keeping it mostly stock?

nova night
#

Well there’s nothing really “stock”. Lol. But I am using SB still for it.

#

Well that part was incredibly weak. But those 2 screws are stripped so I had to remove it somehow. 😅

#

Screw stuck on extractor…

#

First time that extractor set actually worked. 🤣

#

Top hole is unusable. Bottom hole just needs a shorter screw. Not a problem! Whoo!

#

Time to move a whole lot of heat sets to the new parts.

Guess I have to follow this one too 😆

Working on some more disassembly right now as well as moving heat sets over to the new parts. I’m disappointed in myself rn. I have found numerous screws that weren’t tight at all and was even missing the anti shock cover over the psu inlet.

nova night
#

Would you look at that. Anti shock cover. Lol.

nova night
#

Those look so much better than the old solid black ones.

#

An example of why I’m reprinting this entire printer.

nova night
#

Okay. Gonna print my gantry parts (should all fit on one plate) then get started printed deck panel parts. Since those will take 3 hours each and I need 4 deck panel parts. May pause the panels halfway (like after the first 2) and print electronics mounts.

#

Or maybe panel parts wait till after the printer has electronics… 9.5 hours for the gantry. 😅

#

Actually you know. I have more than one working printer. Let’s print the electronics mounts on… Doron Velta! (I dunno why Doron. It’s just the only one that’s in use atm. Lol)

burnt bolt
#

cool to see it get some use :p

nova night
#

Yea. I don’t use it often. But it’s nice when I do use it to have it.

fairsies

#

delta printers do also seem like they would be cool to just watch

nova night
#

I am considering a second X1C in the future though. It’s very handy. Lol.

burnt bolt

fairsies

#

helps when it works most of the time doesnt it :p

nova night
#

Completely untuned. Still. Lol.

burnt bolt
#

fairsies lol

#

tuning do be important

#

ngl would be cool if there ever was a mainline voron delta

nova night
#

Print restarted as I had an issue with the adxl345 and forgot to set the flow ratio and pa in orca for this printer. Lol

Getting the btt pi v1.2 setup now. Went with minimal image and am installing the minimums I need with kiauh.

burnt bolt
#

That helps

#

It’s making some funky sounds :p

#

yup definetly

#

it isnt realy hard normaly but just annoying

nova night
#

Why does mainsail change on every freaking install?!

#

Pi is setup and ready to go. Just need to get the can network on it and it’ll be golden. Obviously I have to wait until I get the can adapter for it to do that. Lol.

nova night
#

Looks like I’m not getting my Amazon delivery today. Stupid Amazon. At least that gives me one more day to finish the rebuild.

nova night
#

Apparently they did deliver! Hooray! lol

nova night
#

I still can’t believe how small the skr pico is. Lol.

nova night
#

Working on greasing the carts and I only wanted to remove one of the rails. This looks funny on such a short rail. Lol.

#

This rail. Is now the right way up. Lol.

nova night
#

Made a mount for the btt pi and skr pico. The stupid btt pi has different hole spacing than a normal pi. And I didn’t check. stitch_facepalm . Time to print another one.

#

I have decided to swap out the old creality motor and the 2 siboor motors for the 2004s motors I took off the trident.

nova night
#

Hooray! A couple of the electronics mounted!

nova night
#

We have a Y axis! Don’t mind the non matching screw. Totally didn’t strip another screw. Not at all. Couldn’t be me.

#

And that’s all the electronics in the electronics bay now! (Ignore the fan wire sticking out of the psu)

nova night
#

And I was about to start belting the XZ but realized I missed a part for mounting the toolhead carriage. Ugh. Lol.

nova night
#

I have fully installed the heat bed and build plate!

nova night
#

@stoic brook You always comment about my wiring. How’s this?

#

Had to breathe a sigh of relief when it powered up. Took a second and I got concerned. 😅

#

Well. Amazon has decided to not deliver my btt Eddy on time. They have delayed it to Thursday. Guess I’m gonna use the old omron for now even though I’d prefer not to.

nova night
#

It ain’t perfect but I got the cable door closed!

nova night
#

My method of preventing bed and toolhead movement when I flip the printer. Don’t want the motors to turn so fast I blow the pico.

nova night
#

Ugh. Probe is too high. Have to move it down. I even set it where the manual showed!

#

Video of first moves coming soon.

nova night
#

@solemn ingot Mind sharing with drift this sb front of his that I combined with the hex accent? It’s so pretty!

nova night
#

As wrong as it is. I’m gonna order some winsinn fans to replace all the fans on the printer with. I want it even quieter. This is an old v6 hotend anyways so it should be perfectly fine with a winsinn he fan. Lol.

#

I’m also gonna be ordering a bolt on panel kit and I hated the vhb style enclosure. Think that will be good.

#

@bleak gulch Sorry for pinging you so much but this deck panel is gonna look awesome!

nova night
#

I was gonna go with aluminum spacers instead of springs or silicone spacers but the mesh was a full mm range. So I swapped back to the silicone spacers and…

nova night
#

Look who has a bottom panel! (And still only 1/4 of a deck panel. 🤣)

nova night
#

We also have a display again!

#

The btt eddy cannot come faster. 🤣

nova night
nova night
#

The btt eddy for this printer just went out for delivery! Hooray!

#

Need to actually tune everything but it’s not bad!

nova night
#

Also got the front deck panels installed!

#

The deck panels came out great chefkiss

nova night
#

Hotend choice I think for if and when I can afford to buy a new hotend.

burnt bolt
#

Revo noice

#

Definetly reliable

nova night
burnt bolt
#

Fair lol

#

You planning on using lots of different nozzles?

nova night
#

Not really. Just want something with pt1000 and reliable. And isn’t a clamp mount v6. 🤣

burnt bolt
#

Fair lol

#

If you do wanna switch nozzles more often would highly recomend a .15 nozzle because wow can you make pretty parts with it

#

Extremely slow but definetly worth it when you need detail

nova night
#

Extremely slow is perfectly fine with this build. Idea is to never turn off stealthchop. Lol.

burnt bolt
#

Fair lol

#

Revo definetly has a lot of cool stuff

nova night
#

That’s also why I’m getting winsinn fans for it. They are silent. Lol. They just don’t move a lot of air. So need hotends that won’t mind a 4010 fan. So Revo it is.

burnt bolt
#

Yea Das fair

#

Wasn't it schlonky who's HEF broke fully broke and revo only clogged after like a couple hours

nova night
#

No idea. I do remember @upbeat zenith obxidian nozzle going plop after becoming a flamethrower. 🤣

Close enough

I did realize the other day. If it weren’t for the display. There wouldn’t be one board that doesn’t have a rp2040 in the printer. Except for the pi ofc. But it’s running a skr pico (which is rp2040), sb2209/rp2040, and eddy duo (which is also rp2040). If the display also had an rp2040 then there wouldn’t even be one stm32. Lol.

I’ll be ordering a dark mode bolt on panel kit for the enderwire from KB3D but with clear doors it looks like! Hooray! Just want I wanted.

I'll be putting a Carto on my Legacy, and it'll run my old Ender bed, so nice knowing it works out well

Ran IS calibration on it. Used the toolhead adxl for the Y axis just for fun. I have a Voron cube printing at 3k accel rn.

#

That’s actually the max accel I was planning anyways. Lmao.

#

Driftrotor says you have been busy and he loves what you have done with your printer!

nova night
#

Looks like my panel kit will be here tomorrow now! Hooray!

nova night
#

@stoic brook If this doesn’t warp before it finishes then that means my plate is fixed. Whoo!

nova night
#

I have realized a small issue with using these slightly longer motors…

nova night
#

Fixed with a plastic cutting knife. Lol.
