Well it's a bit rough in places, but should work and black hides a multitude of sins. Might have to cut it a bit shorter. Not got time to mess about tonight, I'll fit it tomorrow evening. The cable fits good and snug too :-)
See my spool holder looks simple - but it will fit every spool on the market, right down to the bastard taulman 10mm ones :-)
The spools can't come off, the filament won't get trapped and it take about 20 minutes to print :-)
I actually prefer the spool holder on the right hand strut. Keeps the filament under deceht tension and leaves the underside of the extruder clear for fettling about when loading filament.Last edited by curious aardvark; 07-28-2017 at 05:31 AM.

That cable snake thingy looks great, I might borrow the idea . Need to tidy cables on Dollo and looks like it's just what I need

I can drop you the openscad file if you like.
Not parametric and my scripting is 'individual'. But I'm going to post the stl file anyway, so it's not confidential :-)

Openscad file would nice, thanks.
Parametric stuff is nice when it's properly done, but I do like to see the actual code to understand what it actually does so I'm good with individual stuff

pictures, power, cuttings size - you know informations :-)
How on earth does it cut perspex ?
40 watts ! Bloody hell, don't stick your arm in there !
It's water cooled.
Suitable to rubber, plastic, crystal, Plexiglas, acrylics, bamboo and wooden, marble, granite,ceramic, glass, china, paper, garment, jade article, glass, shell and other non-metal materials.
Cut 3mm perspex.
That's a serious bit of kit !
Any chance of dropping the software across ?Last edited by curious aardvark; 07-30-2017 at 12:42 PM.

Just fitted the cable snake - yep that works :-)
I fixed the cable in at the bottom with a small black cable tie. Was going to do the same at the top - but doesn't seem to be necessary :-)
I'll upload stl and scad to thingiverse :-)
Looks great in operation - moves back and forth. As i tunrs out I could actually have got away with a much steeper angle on the connector tab. Which would have printed cleaner.
Who cares, it works :-)
I'll change it for the stl upload.
Changed it from 30 degrees to 50 - yep that'll print a lot easier :-)Last edited by curious aardvark; 07-30-2017 at 12:53 PM.

So I've got a new kingston 4gb memory card and I'm trying the marble run again with the flashforge translucent red.
Done a few prints at 0.1mm and I'd set the first layer to 200%, which seemed to work.
Printed keyboard feet - 0.1 layer and 150mm/s print speed.
great looking prints and in 20 minutes :-)
So for the marble run I'm going with 0.24 layer height, 150mm/s and 15% infill. Reckons 8:49 hours.
But I forgot to reset the first layer height.
Does alexa care ?
She does not !
She's currently printing the first layer at 0.48mm layer height !
And it looks super smooth. Sort of a nonremoveable raft.
Mind you since I levelled the bed with the z-probe, first layers have gone down superbly.
So the thing is, will she do an entire print at 0.48 layer height and at speed ?
I will find out !
