D3D v20.04.27 Future Work

Future Work

Specific Immediate Items

• Simplify Universal Axis from clamshell to monolithic for Motor and idlder side.
• Retain carriage side, or fix it? Only compelling reason is taking the X axis off. But we could redesign the X so it can be independent of the Y. If we take off X with 2 bolts, service on X or Y allows for whole X and Whole Y to be taken off easily - the Y does not mix with X.
• Put a 6 mm set screw hole into the bottom z axis holder so it doesn't slip when moving the printer. It holds against the stop of the clip.
• Chamfer corners on endstop holders, they are sharp.

Production Engineering

• Too much cleanup on X-Y joints. Rework the production engineering so that printing can be by default more clean. Probably do a joint between one-piece motor and one-piece carriage.
  • Is any of this due to print settings and/or nozzle size?
• Get a shear for cutting PEI easily

Cleanup

• Wiring - desing snap-in wire clips - snap in to frame, no tape needed.
  • Banana Connectors perhaps?
  • Mono 2.5/3.5/6.5mm audio jacks could be used too?

Later Work

• Develop FDM 3D Printer Print Profiles for various materials to make it even more plug and play (less, if any failed prints due to the best settings being pre-determined)
• D3D Toolchanger and/or D3D Toolheads

Bug Reports

• fix the Y carrieage to X pieces so both carriages are external.

Recursion

• Print pulleys
• Print belts
• Make heat sinks with CNC
• Make heat breaks with CNC
• m6x4x12 flanged bearing - make from bearing balls, then make bearing balls
• Make the m8 roller skate bearing
