It's gonna be roughly +-0.1mm, making a last part for the bottom belt, then I can move onto the top belts

feral pumice Mar 21, 2026, 3:57 PM

#

Paint did some running, not amazing but it works

feral pumice Mar 21, 2026, 5:44 PM

#

I'll try to wet sand some of the high spots down that appeared due to dripping / runny paint, then scuff up a bit more and see if i can fix it up, will try it on a small test piece first instead of the actual wing to see if its feasible

buoyant wraith Mar 24, 2026, 8:25 AM

lmk when you finish 4040 cad btw im probably gonna go w it too

#

#

I bet i could make a non rigid mount to dampen vibrations though

feral pumice Mar 24, 2026, 8:52 AM

#

Gonna strip one cantilever wing of paint, and paint it properly later today, might attach beacon, belts and endstops aswell

feral pumice Mar 24, 2026, 9:31 PM

Gonna start twisting up cables for my umbilical tomorrow night

feral pumice Mar 25, 2026, 5:03 PM

#

Stepper motor frame connector, short cable from the stepper to this, then a longer twisted cable to the MCU

feral pumice Mar 27, 2026, 3:43 PM

#

I got paint to finish things finally, painted a cantilever wing, gonna paint the main wing now and then the backplate, should all be done tomorrow ish, then ill let it try another day, get that installed, and finally carry on with this build.

feral pumice Mar 28, 2026, 10:59 PM

#

Pretty deep in wiring, so far I've changed the locations of my 24v and 5v wago's, makes a lot more sense now that I got rid of the ESP i had to have the 24v closer and more accessible, while the 5v for the pi further away.

feral pumice Mar 29, 2026, 1:47 PM

Just need to paint the backpanel now which I’ll get started on later

#

These both came out surprisingly good compared to my expectations, definitely a much better way to hold the wing

feral pumice Just need to paint the backpanel now which I’ll get started on later

those look clean
is this the engine bay paint that turtle has recommended a few times?

feral pumice Mar 29, 2026, 1:53 PM

#

woeful talon those look clean is this the engine bay paint that turtle has recommended a few ...

Yeah, matte black engine paint

woeful talon Mar 29, 2026, 1:55 PM

#

feral pumice Yeah, matte black engine paint

is that just in a spray can or do you need an airbrush?

feral pumice Mar 29, 2026, 1:56 PM

#

Spray can, make sure to have it in some warm water or something to keep it to temp if you're doing it outside

#

all my cans were super fiddly with the pressure, so i had to buy a few more since i needed to re-paint a few of them

#

Isopropyl alcohol is pretty good at scrubbing the paint off

feral pumice Mar 29, 2026, 3:43 PM

#

Thought I was smart using painters tape to mark off some already painted edges, ended up peeling off some paint, so I gotta re paint the middle wing now, pretty annoyed but should’ve seen it coming I guess

viral grove Mar 29, 2026, 3:51 PM

#

Keeping the paint warm helps a lot in a spray can. Let’s the viscosity thin out a bit and not spit blobs out, I use two part catalyst paint for cabinet touch ups and put the aerosol can and paint in a bucket warmer to get warm

feral pumice Mar 29, 2026, 3:53 PM

#

yea mine was still kinda odd even after keeping it warm, but now i get to re-do it anyway because painters tape is also great for paint removal

viral grove Mar 29, 2026, 3:55 PM

#

I usually pull tape while paint is either wet or 100% cured

#

Other wise it will do that

feral pumice Mar 29, 2026, 3:56 PM

#

yea it had been sitting for about 2 days so figured it'd be cured

viral grove Mar 29, 2026, 3:56 PM

#

But none the less still at the mercy of a paint can

feral pumice Mar 29, 2026, 3:56 PM

#

but hey now i just get to scrub it clean, and if a tiny piece comes off the bottom, i get to repaint that aswell, no big deal (incredibly annoyed, it is a big deal)

viral grove Mar 29, 2026, 3:56 PM

#

Also how you had it taped if you taped and painted to the tape at a hard edge without letting the paint barely ride over the edge

feral pumice Mar 29, 2026, 4:02 PM

#

will check if theres any scratches on the bottom, if there is, im dunking the whole thing in iso, peeling off the paint, and re-doing it

feral pumice Mar 31, 2026, 1:25 AM

#

Wings came out beautifully, painted half of the top and back panel now and will finish it tomorrow, I’m also driving to Sweden to pick up some PIR

feral pumice Mar 31, 2026, 12:15 PM

#

Got PIR for the build, gonna have this in the shed until I’m happy with the state of the gantry and cantilever

feral pumice Mar 31, 2026, 4:19 PM

#

Finished painting the cantilever parts.

I will let them dry and cure until tomorrow night, then try to get it installed again.

feral pumice Mar 31, 2026, 8:33 PM

#

While I wait for things to dry, I'll prepare my chamber heater, attaching the thermistors to it, and get more parts hooked onto the printer like my front tensioner plates, door hardware, etc. so i just need to belt it.

feral pumice Mar 31, 2026, 10:40 PM

Almost done re-wiring the SSR now, just need to crimp the molex, so today I've:

Painted cantilever parts for the final time

Picked up PIR in Sweden

Wired up 5v for the Pi, 24v for the MCU, and 48v for the motors, and 50% wired up the SSR

#

Finally got my shit together and spent 3 minutes crimping the last Y stepper cable that gets mounted to the frame, my z stepper arrives tomorrow* thought it was today, so will hopefully have the bed installed, and then i can start wiring shit up

feral pumice Apr 7, 2026, 8:52 PM

#

Got my stepper and got it installed, time to install and wire the bed, again

feral pumice Apr 7, 2026, 11:37 PM

Bed is fully wired now, thermistors are crimped, etc. just need to change pins in config

feral pumice Apr 8, 2026, 2:03 AM

#

Gonna work more on making cables look nice tomorrow

feral pumice Apr 9, 2026, 2:56 PM

#

Decided to try adding a thermistor to a stepper, kinda like the classifieds but more janky, i plan to run them hard so figured it could be beneficial.

opened up the 2504 s8 55 i had lying around, and added a glass bead thermistor in there then hooked it up to my v0 and energized the stepper (temp shown initially is the temp with no power or anything to the stepper)

#

Since its on my v0 on 2209's, I'm only giving it about 0.8a of run current

feral pumice Apr 10, 2026, 11:36 PM

#

Got my belts installed and tensioned now, gonna wire up the X and Y endstops and see if i can get it moving

#

Actually that also requires me crimping the steppers.. we'll see if i dare turn it on..

feral pumice Apr 10, 2026, 11:56 PM

#

To try to contain the scope of the project until it's running, I won't finish installing the thermistors until I have the toolhead installed and it's pushed plastic.. at this rate it'll never be finished, but these should be easy enough to add anyway later on.

I guess I gotta save some of the fun for later anyway

feral pumice Apr 11, 2026, 10:19 AM

#

First power on test today, gonna check over all electronics to make sure there's no metal shavings.. forgot to cover them when i was working on stuff and stripping wires

feral pumice Apr 11, 2026, 1:50 PM

#

WE GOT POWER

#

AND NOTHING BLEW UP

#

Y stepper moves fine, X has a cable pinned wrong

#

now i just need to connect the Y endstop, and i might run a speed_test for fun, if i can cheat my z to think its homed

Got the extruder and main toolhead ducts installed now, gonna need to take it apart tomorrow(?) to change the zipties in the belt clips out for some kanthal wire, they don’t have full movement range so aren’t fully parallel to the X axis yet, once I’ve handled that I’m gonna see if I can somehow give the beacon cable a bit more space to breathe in, it’s incredible right at current and it’s pretty sketchy to me.

So, fun update.

Went to go fix my belts with the kanthal wire to hopefully fix them not being fully parallel to the X beam, turns out that wasn't the issue.

Airtac carriages are 3mm longer (1.5mm each side) than most other rail carriages, and the archetype clips are supposed to sit snug against the end of the carriage.

I've gone absolutely ape mode and just removed 1.5mm from each side that touches, hoping that's enough, and I'm now printing them at 8/8/8/80% hoping that it'll make up for it 😂

It was originally part of a large misumi order, Panza messaged me saying they still hadn’t shipped the rest of the parts

#

So I made it another order, got shipped today

heater and thermistor confirmed working now, just the extruder cable i need to test, and then i'm ready once i get my fan.

Print on Thursday does seem doable depending on how much motivation I’ve got, everything is wired up, except for the extruder, hotend fan (on the way) and cpap, both of which should be fairly fast

Not too happy with the final wire lengths of the extruder and hotend fan, but swapping extruder anyway so whatever.

Still missing the 1N4148 diode for the delta fan, so I’m not wiring up signal for now, will get it wired soon and then try to heat, then calibrate MPC

feral pumice Apr 25, 2026, 10:12 AM

currently printing a small base for the cpap, so i can mount it, then double sided tape it to my table for now since i dont have my muffler assembled, and this thing tries to fly away at 25%

after that, i'll attempt PID tuning the bed and MPC tuning the hotend, if MPC gives me any issues I'll be switching to PID

Sample spread issue on beacon with the merc, I suspect my Z might be binding slightly causing inconsistent readings, time for another rebuild!

feral pumice Apr 29, 2026, 1:49 PM

Seeing some inconsistent beacon results even after the rebuild, I slightly suspect one rail binding a bit, I’m gonna replace both rails to be on the safe side (and to have them match), currently getting offers for some high quality ones..

feral pumice Apr 29, 2026, 8:13 PM

#

been chasing issues both with the goliath and beacon;

had a heatbreak clog that took a while to figure out and clean out, i've since added thermal paste in the heatbreak

now I wonder how that clog happened in the first place, i have a delta 5v 2510 on both my v0 and my merc, my v0's tach reading is 14k, rock solid +-200rpm, while the merc goes from 11.7k down to 7.6k, unsure if its a faulty tachometer or if that fan really is all over the place, haven't noticed anything horrible out of place audibly.

feral pumice Apr 29, 2026, 10:08 PM

#

After those issues, i started a print, it was going great, then about 95% through the print, i got a beacon disconnect.. which gave me an error ofcourse, which turned off my hotend fan, while the hotend was sitting at 270c mid print..

tender haven Apr 29, 2026, 10:18 PM

Toolhead rebuild, then cantilever rebuild

#

I checked with calipers, cantilever extrusions are within 0.2mm of the other reference point I set, the rails are parallel to the extrusions, and the BK/BF spacers are 12.5mm away on each side from the inner rail face

#

So that should all be fine

Installing rear skirt, then the bottom drag chain mount, then the cantilever

Trying PET-CF with 3dlac on my cryogrip plate at 60c bed at "340c" hotend (could be anywhere from 200 to 400 idfk with this thermistor)

Doing initial calibrations of the filament now out of the dryer, then gonna start printing the things for my muffler, and spare parts for my current toolhead because i really don't wanna mess with that later.

This is with the printer actually assembled, the previous graphs posted at some point were without cpap hose, without the full toolhead, and the umbilical.

Tested at 150ApH up to 200HZ with the max accel in shaper_calibrate.py removed

This is also after adding basic chopper parameters to my drivers, going off of trinamics tmc5160_caluclations sheet, will be testing them further tomorrow to see if i can find something they like more.

Swapped the goliath to a temporary NTC100k 3950, 3do just restocked the goliath PT1000's so ordered a few, and i still have a "higher" quality one on the way, should be here end of may..

I need to calibrate shrinkage on my PET, and retraction, after that I can start printing parts for my CPAP muffler, and ultimately once i've test fitted it, cut out my backpanel to fit the CPAP and filament inlet.

feral pumice May 5, 2026, 8:03 PM

#

Also reached out to Panza to hear if he could ship the rest of my order separately from the max motors lol

feral pumice May 6, 2026, 11:54 PM

#

more more more updates! always fun lol

Today I swapped to one of the temporary PT1000's that just arrived thanks to 3do,

Panza shipped everything but the max motors, since they aren't in stock just yet. And I suggested that the wire type be switched from PVC to PTFE/FEP in the max motors in future batches.

I ran chopper tuning for a few hours and ended up with some results that sound pretty decent, and don't create a lot of heat.

I also found a max flowrate test for my extruder, uses TMC Stallguard to automatically detect it which is cool, will be testing that tomorrow, and also printing some parts in PET-CF for the muffler after I get the shrinkage dialed in

#

And got the ZeroG orca preset set up with a few different nozzle types that I own, very nice quality of life feature lol
https://e-z.tools/vi7vl1e1.png

Excited for more printing

feral pumice May 7, 2026, 11:09 AM

feral pumice May 8, 2026, 12:00 AM

#

The umbilical is fine for now, the cpap and filament tube I'd agree with, can't do much about it until i cut out my backpanel, and before I do that I need to print my ws9290 muffler

buoyant wraith May 8, 2026, 12:00 AM

#

ah gotcha

feral pumice May 8, 2026, 12:00 AM

#

It's a temporary solution, hoping to print more parts tomorrow but we'll see how the filament feels

#

Gotta figure out shrinkage, new em, new pa, and new retraction for the PET-CF, and get an annealing process down without any warping

#

Hopefully the panza package is here either tomorrow, or saturday so I can get some corner brackets installed

feral pumice May 8, 2026, 1:22 PM

#

After drying it some more, its behaving way better with the retraction, re-running EM now, then I'll print the Calilantern by Vez3D to get XY skew, and XYZ shrinkage for when i anneal the part... its gonna be a lot of salt

severe bay What kit is it? File for the cover?

That’s archetype Breakneck, it only fits front mount toolheads, so you’ll need different XY joints than stock

Yup, testing the belt path for Riley today

Oh lmao

feral pumice May 13, 2026, 10:18 AM

Still waiting on some 5262’s, might be a while before they get here though

buoyant wraith May 13, 2026, 10:18 AM

#

I was just about to ask if there was a voron version

#

Btw

feral pumice May 13, 2026, 10:18 AM

#

There is for older versions, but the new one is still in testing

buoyant wraith May 13, 2026, 10:19 AM

#

I got something in the other day, the 4a motors

#

The sovol with long shaft

#

Diodeking is gonna test them for me because I don’t have a printer rn but if they work well you could probably get them pretty easily for your printer

feral pumice May 13, 2026, 10:20 AM

Gotcha

feral pumice May 13, 2026, 10:21 AM

buoyant wraith He has a 48v I think

Interesting, according to trinamic they’ll create excess heat above 36v

buoyant wraith May 13, 2026, 10:21 AM

#

I just got them from the supplier lol

feral pumice May 13, 2026, 10:21 AM

#

If they’re similar to the max motors

feral pumice May 13, 2026, 10:21 AM

#

feral pumice Interesting, according to trinamic they’ll create excess heat above 36v

Due to chopping

buoyant wraith May 13, 2026, 10:21 AM

#

Dk and I just paid for expedited shipping

#

Oh interesting

#

I’m sure he’ll find out

buoyant wraith May 13, 2026, 10:21 AM

#

feral pumice If they’re similar to the max motors

It’s the same motor

feral pumice May 13, 2026, 10:21 AM

#

They’ll still run, but it’s the same deal as with 2804’s

buoyant wraith May 13, 2026, 10:22 AM

#

Like the exact same motor

buoyant wraith May 13, 2026, 10:22 AM

Did you also get the wires changed to FEP/PTFE?

buoyant wraith May 13, 2026, 10:22 AM

#

I wonder if Vexs drivers will help with that at all

buoyant wraith May 13, 2026, 10:22 AM

#

feral pumice Did you also get the wires changed to FEP/PTFE?

Yeah

#

It’s literally the exact same product

#

From the supplier

#

Just no excite logo

feral pumice May 13, 2026, 10:23 AM

#

buoyant wraith It’s literally the exact same product

But the max motors don’t have fep / ptfe..

#

So you’re still on PVC

buoyant wraith May 13, 2026, 10:23 AM

#

Then it’s whatever the max motors have lol

feral pumice May 13, 2026, 10:23 AM

#

Sub optimal, I asked bgoat if they could ask their supplier to add fep or ptfe next batch

feral pumice May 13, 2026, 10:24 AM

#

buoyant wraith I wonder if Vexs drivers will help with that at all

Doubt, they’re similar to 5160’s, no? In trinamics baseline datasheet it’s based off of nominal voltage

buoyant wraith May 13, 2026, 10:24 AM

#

#

Uh yeah I think so

#

Just his design of a 5160

feral pumice May 13, 2026, 10:24 AM

#

36v max to avoid excess chopping heat, probably 24-28v for less vfa

#

Same case for every low inductance motor

buoyant wraith May 13, 2026, 10:25 AM

#

Interesting

#

I hope dk knows that lol

#

I’ll tell him

feral pumice May 13, 2026, 10:26 AM

#

Real world is gonna be dictated more by inductance than the resistance which trinamic goes by, so this is all just by their data sheet, not real world, it’s there to give a baseline for chopping parameters etc

#

For proper testing id need an oscilloscope, and mine won’t be here for a while

buoyant wraith May 13, 2026, 10:26 AM

I gotta learn more about this stuff 😭

Thats what the 2804’s a clone of, I think they have some resources for tuning them

buoyant wraith May 13, 2026, 10:27 AM

#

Oh gotcha

feral pumice May 13, 2026, 10:27 AM

#

Should be a similar-ish-but-maybe-not kinda thing for the max since they’re both low inductance

#

Oh did those help?

#

Oh

#

I type too slow

feral pumice May 13, 2026, 10:28 AM

Yeah they square up the frame for you

#

That’s the main benefit

buoyant wraith May 13, 2026, 10:28 AM

Blind joints plus those or just those

feral pumice May 13, 2026, 10:29 AM

#

I think it’s vex? Who runs an entire frame on brackets, no blind joints

buoyant wraith May 13, 2026, 10:29 AM

its easier to just print since it doesnt affect the prints anyway

feral pumice May 13, 2026, 4:26 PM

#

So.. print fail because the bed couldnt get back to temp, unsure if my CPAP cooled my bed too much

#

Yup... does seem like thats the issue

#

Might be because of the rear thermistor in the bed, maybe some heatshrink over it?

random dune May 13, 2026, 4:57 PM

#

or re pid tune bed with cpap on

feral pumice May 13, 2026, 5:00 PM

#

random dune or re pid tune bed with cpap on

Heater pad is already maxing out at 130c, it’s because the rear thermistor sticks out 1-2mm so I can actually remove it

random dune May 13, 2026, 5:03 PM

#

ok

feral pumice May 13, 2026, 6:26 PM

#

So.. even with a layer of kapton tape and 2 layers of heatshrink over it, it seems that it just can't handle 20% CPAP.

At 15% it can just barely keep up. I hope that the new JLC heater either handles it better, or I'll have to switch back to normal PID rather than Dual Loop.

feral pumice May 15, 2026, 12:54 AM

#

Love this thing.

Sending a large PET-CF print tomorrow (10hrs ish), so I can test fit the CPAP muffler.

If that runs nicely I’ll start marking out where id have to cut my backpanel.

feral pumice May 15, 2026, 12:56 AM

With the 0.016 beacon offset to account for hotend thermal expansion, first layers are perfect, everytime.

feral pumice May 15, 2026, 11:42 AM

#

JLC’s thermistors for their heat pads only go up to 125c, ( @celest temple this might interest u)

That’s too low for me as I run dual loop PID, so I’ll likely get a higher rated glassbead NTC100K and RTV that to the back of the silicone pad, temp difference shouldn’t be too much compared to their own thermistors, but I should be able to hit the 140c goal. Somehow missed the 125c limit initially, should’ve bought one without a thermistor.

celest temple May 15, 2026, 11:42 AM

#

damn

#

i dont see myself going above 110 but 125 seems like a low margin

#

I might include a hole in the middle for a thermistor in the dxf then

feral pumice May 15, 2026, 11:44 AM

#

celest temple i dont see myself going above 110 but 125 seems like a low margin

Yeah, my issue with it is that I run dual loop PID, so it uses 2 thermistors to get temp, one from the heat pads, the other embedded in the bed itself, so that lets the pad heat up further (with its own limit) compared to the bed, since we usually need a bit higher temp on pads vs beds

#

Fx. 130c pad results in about 110c bed in my case

#

I guess I’ll do some testing to see the difference between the thermistor in the pad, vs the thermistor I plan to add to the pad, so I can set custom datapoints and offset the thermistor I plan to add

celest temple May 15, 2026, 11:53 AM

#

feral pumice Yeah, my issue with it is that I run dual loop PID, so it uses 2 thermistors to ...

i'm not sure if i should commit to that or just go with one threaded thermistor embedded in the bed

#

i'm also wary of a cold spot for the hole that'd have to be cut in the heating pad for that

feral pumice May 15, 2026, 11:56 AM

#

celest temple i'm not sure if i should commit to that or just go with one threaded thermistor ...

You do need one in the pad itself aswell

#

Otherwise the pad will just keep heating itself up until the bed finally catches up, my pad quickly rose to like 170c lol

feral pumice May 15, 2026, 11:56 AM

#

celest temple May 15, 2026, 11:58 AM

Had to modify a few parts (mainly to do with endstop location) Printing the test piece now, then will get the rear duct done, and hopefully also the main body today.

I'm printing everything out of PET-CF, at 320c hotend, 60c bed, open chamber,

Kapton to temporarily hold the wires down, and a lot of kapton to fasten the thermistor itself, if that ends up somehow peeling, I’ll rip it out and place it in a bead of kapton, would just have a slower thermal response in that case.

Finally got dual loop running lol, had a bunch of issues with re-calibrating it but had to change the previous PID values to something different.

Mounted the gasket for my CPAP and printed a new passthrough, so I’m just waiting for a time to cut the panel and install it.

I’m looking at messing around with preflight slicer for a bit, then trying to source a new bottom panel, and top panel

Plan is now to draw up some plans to cut out my rear panel soon, once I've confirmed the new inlet fitment, i'm hoping to get it done in this coming week

Got my octopus pro 1.1 a few days ago, just missing the 5262 stepsticks.

I’ve also ordered the frame and controller board for my nightowl enclosure for the mmu, that’ll be for the v0 though

#

Hoping to get started on drilling / cutting the panel once I’ve checked fitment a few times, would rather not fuck that up

feral pumice Hoping to get started on drilling / cutting the panel once I’ve checked fitment ...

Got started on cutting the panel today, hoping to finish and test fit it tomorrow.

If all goes well, that means I can enclose it once I have the right filament fitting

buoyant wraith Is it pet cf?

Yup, takes so long to anneal😂 and since I don’t have my lab oven yet, it’s a very involved task since I have to reset the timer

#

Total it’s probably around 14-15hrs

buoyant wraith Jun 5, 2026, 7:25 AM

#

Yeesh

#

When’s the oven supposed to come in

#

I’ll get it done in the weekend though messing around with PA smooth time a bit since my corners are a bit funky

buoyant wraith Jun 5, 2026, 8:11 AM

#

Double yeesh

#

Hopefully it doesn’t warp this time lol

feral pumice Jun 5, 2026, 8:14 AM

#

I’ll do a slower ramp up and down, probably 60c for an hour, 80c for 2hrs, 100c for an hour, then up to 120 for 10-11hrs

#

And I’ll make sure to pack the inner ducts with salt, etc etc
