Finally finished: I changed the print orientation and split the bow and lever into three parts. Now the holes for the 8mm bearings are vertical and don't end up a mess in print. Quick release pen holder, zero play, super smooth glide. #success #pla #filament #hobby #maker #3dprint #3dprinting #3dprinted #fdm #3dprinter #tronxy #x5s #tronxyx5s #diy #kit #tobecontinued #happyhobbyist

Expanding our workshop to include our new #3dprinting #Tronxy #x5sa! Bigger print volume means faster prototyping for @keninikreations #letsbuild #makersgonnamake #rapidprototyping #mechanicalengineering #pcmasterrace #stemgirls #makerspace #customdesign

Can you overthink things? Possibly ... Here's my belt clamp block. It has a guiding path for each belt of the #corexy mechanics of my pen plotter, and a block with teeth that gets squeezed into the gt2 belt if the lever with the eccentric cylinder is moved to the left. @suromark #workbench #learningbydoing #pla #filament #hobby #maker #3dprint #3dprinting #3dprinted #fdm #3dprinter #tronxy #x5s #tronxyx5s #diy #kit #tobecontinued #happyhobbyist

Hopefully the final version of the pen plotter pen holder. This one uses tiny 693zz ball bearings to get a smooth pen raise/drop action. Five bearings on the main rail, and three more on the second rail. And it runs super smooth after i finally figured out how to mount the bearings with deformed washers and wood screws (see previous post) #pla #filament #hobby #maker #3dprint #3dprinting #3dprinted #fdm #3dprinter #tronxy #x5s #tronxyx5s #diy #kit #tobecontinued #happyhobbyist

Suggested by @miguelbuilds : print the cover for the pen plotter #electronics box with no top our bottom layers - only perimeters and infill. Well, that's definitely an amazing look! #decorative and #functional at the same time. #pla #filament #hobby #maker #3dprint #3dprinting #3dprinted #fdm #3dprinter #tronxy #x5s #tronxyx5s #diy #kit #tobecontinued #happyhobbyist

A set of three pen holders: newest addition is a natural/clear PLA print. Surprisingly that one had no issues whatsoever with the fine prongs of the lift lever that the other required some post-print surgery to fix ... I've tried steel rods for this version, and they add about 20 grams of pen pressure due to their weight. They also remove a great deal of friction that the dull aluminum imparts on the ball bearings, so this version slides even easier. Takes a bit longer to cut to length, of course ... next step: improving the belt clamps! @suromark #workbench #learningbydoing #pla #filament #hobby #maker #3dprint #3dprinting #3dprinted #fdm #3dprinter #tronxy #x5s #tronxyx5s #diy #kit #tobecontinued #happyhobbyist

The new baseplate of my DIY pen plotter is now installed. The belt clamp isn't quite ready yet, but now the pen lifter quick-exchange is in place. Still a work in progress ... #pla #filament #hobby #maker #3dprint #3dprinting #3dprinted #fdm #3dprinter #tronxy #x5s #tronxyx5s #diy #kit #tobecontinued #happyhobbyist #atleastgivecredittothesource @suromark

Well, it was the belt tension (or lack thereof) all along: my diy plotter finally closes its curves as it should. The steel core gt2 belt does require a fair amount of tension, so I'm going to add a belt tensioner that can be easily disengaged for storage. Just need to design one in the first place ... #newchallenge #pla #filament #hobby #maker #3dprint #3dprinting #3dprinted #fdm #3dprinter #tronxy #x5s #tronxyx5s #diy #kit #tobecontinued #happyhobbyist #grbl #electronics #cnc

Thanks to @pauls_3d_things inspiration, i grabbed my creme brulé maker, a discarded 3dprint, a m3 screw (long, definitely want a long one), and one of those newfangled threaded inserts that are all the rage with the kids these days ... And just look at this! This stuff works! And i don't even need to soil my soldering iron #pla #filament #hobby #maker #3dprint #3dprinting #3dprinted #fdm #3dprinter #tronxy #x5s #tronxyx5s #diy #kit #tobecontinued #happyhobbyist
