{{DISPLAYTITLE:Various 3D Printer Projects}}

We've had the opportunity to put together some 3D printers. Here are some notes on that
.
== Aluminatus Trinity One Printers: ==

These are big mostly 80/20 (40-4030?) channel aluminum beasts.

=== Notes: ===
* When printing parts try to include T-slot nut cage forks so they don't slide away when you remove the screw. Perhaps with small barbs so they are pulled tight.
* If any steppers are skipping steps you might want to adjust the Pololu driver board's current limit. As described in the links below.
* CS for bottom plastic plates, are M5-7.
* Other part numbers for Extruder motors are:
** 36JX30K5.18G/42STH38-1684A, 1.8 Degree, 2.8V, 1.68A 1:5.18 Gear Ratio
** 36JX30K27G..., 1:27 Gear Ratio
** 36JX30K100G..., 1:100 Gear Ratio
* Hot End Cooling fan: AV-F4010LS<br />
** 24V 0.08A 4-6? CFM

** 5 mm aluminum sheet
** I think it's 3/16 though<br />
=== Adjusting the Vertical Slide rods: ===
* Mount clamps in the base with locktight, but leave M3 screws lose.
* Slide plastic gantry mounts with bushings on the slide rods
* Thread the lead screws in also, add retainers and holding screws.
* Add Claps to top of rods
* Slide T-Slot nuts into top piece for the clamps.
* Loosely mount motors
* Slide rods into base clamps and connect motors to torsion dampeners.
* Loosely fasten in upper clamps.
* Tighten all four M3 bolts on clamps
* Measure distance to 80/20 at bottom of slide rods.
* Tighten top clamp screws without locktight enough so you can still move the clamps a bit
* Adjust top of rods to same distance and tighten one clamp screw till its firm.
* Add locktight to the other one and re-thread and tighten.
* Remeasure to double check distance.
* Add locktight to the first one check distance and tighten
* Repeat for the other rod.
=== Adjusting the lead screws and motor mountings: ===

Random Notes:
* Some Stepper driver board: 6B6560-3V5
