Where can i drill big holes in the smarteffector? dual-extruder
-
i just adapted the smarteffector for use with a bigger mounting plate. Works great!
i also adpted a 3mm E3d direct drive heatsink for use with the smarteffector as a 3mm bowdendrive with a screwtop. Also working great!
Next experiment is a dualdrive setup with the smarteffector. So I will have to drill two 12mm holes in the pcb.
Which parts are drillable? Would it be possible to mark this places on the drawing in the Wiki? (I am aware this will void my guarantee)btw: How can i upload a picture on this forum?

Use a service like postimage.io upload image then copy the "direct link" and then use
-
but simple answer is you can't drill 2 12 mm holes in the effector without destroying the sensor elements

@ Simon: Thanks

@Dougal:
Lasercutting? I expect there are places in the pcb which are not used for the copper lanes?
-
Nope the 3 sensors are around the entire part, if your intention is to use the stress sensors for bed leaving there is no way, if not then drill anywhere
-
You may even be able to see the pattern of the copper strain traces of you login at the effector under the right light. As already stated, drilling anywhere will stop the sensor working.
-
OK, i checked it again, and i suppose the hatched zones you can see around the heatsink are the sensor element?
OK this messages crossed eachother
Any plans to create a dual extruder smarteffector?
-
Youre welcome, you could use a y splitter to unload/load filament via one filament path?
-
I guess there is another vote for dual extruder
