Nice! I'll post some pics soon of my (now Trident) build as well .. Not happy with whatever is going on with my Z rods .. ther's a weird clicking sound and not sure if they're entirely aligned .. The printer works .. but Z travel is loud and it looks like there is a lot of wear on one of the...

Hey folks! I have an EnderWire .. and I've just mostly gotten a Tronxy V1/Trident conversion done .. so I now am at a point where I have a pretty reliable second printer. Wondering what might be some interesting ideas to do with the EnderWire .. I've already done a lot of the electronics...

I made a thing :) .. came up with a sneaky way to securely mount things to the tronxy bed frame plates .. This allowed me to mount the sexbolt Z endstop and a nozzle brush on the other side. I feel like this is simplifying the setup a lot .. especially since I ditched the bed springs a long...

Ok so it turns out .. I was over-amping my extruder stepper .. that was making it run hot, and I mean HOT (likely close to 100c) .. which in turn would cause the motor plate and possibly other things start to deform .. I've since halved the amps on the motor and its magically working much much...

As I said earlier I’ve been running into so many weird issues with what kind of feels like printing at way above my max volumetric speed … Except I have a rapido v2 horned .. this thing shouldn’t be choking on ~10 mm3/s … But then I ran into the docs around pressureadvance and how it...

@DrEaD here is my simplified tophat .. As you can see it still allows for the filament guide or any other similarly attached things in the back

Great, thanks :)

This is what my tophat (might) look like .. As you can see, I made the corners quite hollow .. just enough to fit things .. Its two parts for ease of printing, doesn't need a lot of structural integrity. I ended up moving the coroplast further in, aligned with the edge of the top...

Actually I ended up switching gears here a bit .. having a hard time printing large solid ABS pieces on my switchwire .. can't seem to get corners not to warp (big piece, had to place it diagonally) .. So I'm testing a print of much lighter mount .. basically its a very hollow ~80mm corner...

Still working on it .. taking it a bit slow .. at this point I'm opting to fully convert it to a Trident .. This should create a much more stable build surface .. overall its not bad .. The latest issue I've ran into has to do with the reverse bowden connection .. I've a feeling I'm kinking...

Did a bit more work to convert the back mounts to give a bit of extra room, then shifted things a bit more to see how much room I could squeeze out of the back .. and it looks not bad .. I think I could actually fit the Z limit switch in there.

There, I finally got around to trying to make the more compact, 2040 compatible idler design. I still have to modify the other idler the same way .. but this seems like it should do the trick .. I removed one of the mounting screws from the horizontal extrusion, but I added back a smaller M3...

I purposely pushed the bed to the front to maximize the print volume, otherwise you lose a lot of volume on the Y axis .. Do you need a hand modelling anything? I’d be happy to help :) not like I’m amazing at it, but I’ve managed to teach myself enough fusion to makes do :) I remembered why...

I like your idea with the extra 490mm extrusions I will most likely use it when the time comes to do my Trident conversion :) May as well be able to use stock models right?

This is my current prototype idea for how the original bed could be mounted (first draft really, I was mostly fitting things together to understand how long extrusions I may need to order for under the bed) .. I'm hoping that those ABS pieces mounted to the bed extrusions are sturdy enough ...
