Considering we have 3d printers I guess nobody has successfully produced a 3d printed crimping tool?!

Some of our distributors are also having Black Friday sales. Feel free to post here if you are one of them.

I picked up a Maestro from Ooznest with 20% off. Now just need to plan and learn how to install and configure it with my printer! Great saving.

Thanks. I'm going to get my had around things. My printer is a ST3Di Modelsmart 280. It's going to take some figuring out......

Thanks everyone, really useful information. Interesting opinions differ a little but to be expected.

Thanks everyone so far. I will heed your advice regarding a crimp tool. Makes no sense risking the board or printer for a few quid

Thanks.

I have a cheap multi-meter already.

I was looking at this tool.

Hi, I'm a bit green when it comes to electronics but willing to learn. I've bought a duet maestro and want to have a go at installing this in a printer where I'd previously managed to fry the control board (not a good sign i admit!).

I'm looking to kit myself up with some tools to do the job. I don't want to spend a fortune but tools always come in handy. I have the basics like electrical screwdrivers etc but would welcome recommendations for other tools, crimpers etc.

Thanks.

I’m there tomorrow so will pop by the stand. Are you selling from the stand?

@droftarts

Thanks for the information and links. I will try and do some measurements and calcs. I printed the part you see at 0.2mm .

@zapta said in Wavy walls, got to be Z axis issue?:

If you look at a single layer all around the cylinder. Is it 'out' on one side and 'in' in the opposite side (consistent with a shift on the X/Y plan) or is it 'out' or 'in' all around?

Also what is the vertical pitch between bolded layers, (measure over 10 interval and divide by 10)? Does it match the Z rod lead (which is the vertical distance per one full rotation)?

Hi, sorry about the slow reply and thanks for trying to help. The layers are out and out on both sides rather than exhibiting a shift. Could this be caused by fluctuation in the hot end temp perhaps? Now you've made me think about that it doesn't follow what you would expect to see if the bed was shifting with the screw does it.

I'll have the measure the pitch and come back later on that.
