  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area.

Electronic lead screw ELS - Rocketronics solution on Modern Tool C0636 lathe

@gerritv good solution to the cross slide hitting the motor & mount. I think on my lathe I could cut down the cross slide as the part that sticks out past the end of the dove tail isn't doing anything anyway. That seems drastic though - I'll see how my big standoff works and either keep it OR adopt mounting on the side with a pulley as you did Gerrit.
 
So today I figured out how to get my high flow 0.8mm nozzle working on the prusa. (Bond tech chat nozzle) Using it I managed to take a 6 hour print job down to 2.5 hours! I used the prusa supplied print defaults in their slicer for 0.8mm nozzle and also turned up the print speed to 120% without any consequences.

The results are cruder no doubt but it feels heftier and is stiffer / stronger too. The dice objects are the voron printer test print objects. One is 0.4mm nozzle at 0.2mm layer height - the other is 0.8mm nozzle at 0.55mm layer height. It’s cruder no doubt but if you don’t need the resolution then the high speed is a great trade off.

Interesting the supports were cleaner and easier to rip off with the 0.8mm nozzle. I think I’ve got a better doubling speed now. Hopefully that will keep me going till the prusa XL ships. I think it might be here by Christmas.

Anybody interested in speeding up their printer I suggest one of these high flow nozzles in a larger size is a pretty good option.

That's what makes 3D printing so cool. You can revise to your hearts content till you are happy.

Now if only I could get Fusion to like me. Holy crap it's painful. I barely figure out one thing and it bites me again!

Anyways, very cool mount John!
