Made an enclosure for my Dayton PS98-5's. The interior is actually gyroid infill rather than being hollow. Nothing fancy, but she sounds pretty decent! PXL_20230703_014206788~2.jpg
In between prints for COB, I managed to create a new speed wheel for my 007. It's just a prototype and I'm not totally satisfied, but I already have a V2 ready to go with better knurling and retention.
V2 is a significant improvement. This model has much more defined knurling, does away with the hole at the bottom, and is held securely using two set screws instead of one countersunk flathead screw.
I tried finishing the final speed wheel for COB, but each print failed with one of them creating a blob around my hot end the size of a walnut. So, I guess that means it’s time for a little maintenance.
My textured bed does great until it doesn't. I had a blob the other day. Dried the filament, but that didn't fix the first layer. Took the bed to the sink and washed it with Dawn and it seems to be working again.
Yeah. Thankfully I use a silicone cover on my hot end instead of the stock fiberglass insulation. That would have been a real mess. The filament was a brand new spool, but over successive prints, the Aqua Net I spray on my mirror bed eventually wore off. This was totally on me trying to eek out just one more print when I shouldn't have.
I created a second version of my 007 CO2 knob with more aggressive knurling for a better grip. Like with the previous version, this is held securely using two 6-32 set screws.
Printed myself a nice little TipX barrel shroud with a picatinny rail. Really digging the quality. CF PLA at .12mm. Looks and feels great. Working on a new trigger now.
I'm honestly itching to play with it. If I can figure out something to increase the velocity, I think I'm going to take it to the field with me next time.
But a fat pump handle is a must. I can hardly even grip the stock one.
There are a surprising number of files for them on Thingiverse.
