Hi Forum Folke,
Real newbie question here: are CAD drawings available for the various parts that make up the Stealthburner? I see STEP and stp files; step which show a 3D representation of the complete, assembled 'burner , and stl's that show the individual parts, but nothing like dimensioned sketches of the parts. Reason I ask is I bought printed parts for the clockwork 2 extruder (galileo 2 extruder version... bought because I don't have the capability to print in ABS or ASA yet), but I suspect they're off dimensionally; I can say with certainty that the holes for the standard m3 threaded inserts are too big; the inserts go in fully with very gentle finger pressure. That's obviously no good, and it leads me to question the accuracy of the rest of the part... all of the parts. Can't say at this point whether it's an issue with his printer or not; he'll likely claim he printed the step (or stl) file as provided, so if the hole's too big, it's in the file, not his printer. I don't really have any hard data to dispute his claim, or to show him that he does indeed have a printer issue. A dimensioned drawing would provide this; if the insert holes on a dimensioned sketch are supposed to be 4mm in diameter, the sketch was used to generate the step and stl files, and the printed part has holes that are 5mm in diameter, then it's a printer iissue for certain.
Failing this, is anyone aware of a source for (or existence of) slightly oversized OD M3 inserts that can compensate for slightly oversized holes? I suppose I could just epoxy the inserts in place, but that's a lot more headache (and mess) than should be needed. Or, for that matter, any workable solution for oversized insert holes? The holes are too large for m3 inserts, but way too small for m4 inserts. I'm *assuming* the required inserts are M3, but that's not actually specified in the assembly manual, and I don't see anything like a BOM in github.
Sorry if these are kindergarten-level questions... I'm far better with the hardware end of things than I am with this kind of stuff! ;-)
