The first gearboxes are assembled, and the first feedback is very positive. However, you have reported some problems that this update fixes.
1. New slider
The biggest problem encountered concerns the tracks: they ultimately do not stay in place in the slider… the tolerances being too variable from one printer to another, the current solution cannot be retained.
Many of you have requested the return of a retaining screw. This solution does not really delight me for several reasons:
- it requires modifying the shopping list and therefore the screw kit offered by Industry&CNC
- it involves the use of a tool to change the tracks
- it is not necessarily durable: the thread in the slider can tire
- it makes the tracks more delicate to print.
So I opted for another solution: the end of the slider (called slider cover) comes to secure the tracks, and it is then the nut at the end of the main axis which comes to block everything. No tool, no wear.
At the same time I still added small grooves on the tracks and the slider in order to keep them in place at least for the time of the change. These grooves can be sanded if necessary if it does not fit.
It is therefore necessary to reprint the slider and the tracks.
2. Modified Seq Locker
You also found that Seq Locker could come into contact with Body1. Indeed it is flush and I can imagine that with some printers it touches frankly. Material was removed to be sure that it does not touch.
The rest of the parts do not need to be reprinted.
3. Seq Holder: orientation problem
I have been informed of broken stops on Seq Holder. It is absolutely necessary to print this part in the correct orientation to avoid breakage. The orientation in the first uploads was not correct. This is now corrected.
The goal for next month is to rework the eclutch calibration code. You have brought back incorrect rotation directions. For my part, I have rechecked and the direction is correct. In any case, I will add the possibility to modify the rotation direction easily. I will also add a clearer debug.
There were many uploads in the first few days to correct obvious omissions and documentation errors. From now on, updates will be clearly documented.
The updated files are available for download on the usual page.
