The 3D printed parts with the brim are pretty much perfect. Removed brim and assembled two carriages. They slide with no resistance on the shafts. Started cleaning the frame for painting and the epoxy glue started cracking in parts and separating from the frame in others. Used a ZAP brand clear epoxy. I am not sure about the reasons but it could be a combination of factors. I disassembled the cube and started from scratch. This time I decided to weld it with a TIG machine. Only tack weld it at this point.<br> | The 3D printed parts with the brim are pretty much perfect. Removed brim and assembled two carriages. They slide with no resistance on the shafts.

Short Iddler Side printed successfully. Created .gcode file and started printing another set of parts (Motor Side). Preparing (straightening bows, sanding of edges, degreasing), squaring and gluing of 16" D3D frame (+-4 hours). Put together some of axes parts to check the squareness of the 8mm rods. Prints are very precise. Rods are parallel across all planes. Assembled HBP support. Possible issues could be sagging of the far end of the heated bed after some use and jittering of bed if Z-axis needs to work too hard for the auto leveling during the printing. br> | Short Iddler Side printed successfully.

Nevertheless, I believe that this information should be better organized to facilitate accessibility to all newcomers and those wanting to learn the basis of each development. This could also be related to my lack of overall familiarity with the way logs are kept.

Encountered some troubles trying to fit the nut to the bolt. Not familiar with what ISOs are a match between the fasteners. Also, the Screw Hole Calculator says that a M30 screw should fit a hole of 26.5 mm but if I measure the M30 bolt with the ruler it says 29.91 mm approx. I do not know how to understand this discrepancy at the moment. | Encountered some troubles trying to fit the nut to the bolt. Not familiar with what ISOs are a match between the fasteners.

- Assembled the carriages for the four axes (15 min per carriage). Glued magnets to x-axis carriage.
- Finished holes-template and tried it on frame. It is a perfect fit but, unfortunately, I miscalculated the position of the holes. I will have to modify it and print it again. See the images of the printed template at D3D Australia.
4 Hours
Fri Dec 22, 2017
Started working on a printable template to mark the placement of the holes on the metal frame of OSE's printer.
4 Hours
Wed Dec 20, 2017
Finished welding frame and painted it (3.5 hours). Uploaded photos to D3D Australia. Created and embedded the following video:
4.5 Hours
Tue Dec 19, 2017
The 3D printed parts with the brim are pretty much perfect. Removed brim and assembled two carriages. They slide with no resistance on the shafts. Started cleaning the frame for painting and the epoxy glue started cracking in parts and separating from the frame in others. Used a ZAP brand clear epoxy. I am not sure about the reasons but it could be a combination of factors. I disassembled the cube and started from scratch. This time I decided to weld it with a TIG machine. Only tack weld it at this point.
4 Hours
Mon Dec 18, 2017
Due diligence. D3D Australia Log. First set of Carriage Side Parts was printed. Lots of warping due to printer settings. Assembled and tried the parts. I will need to print them again. Created new .gcode file and started printing another set. More details here D3D Australia
2 Hours.
Sun Dec 17, 2017
Due diligence. Logs. Started D3D Australia log.
2 Hours
Sat Dec 16, 2017
Glued the last square to the frame and trimmed excess epoxy (+-1 hour). Printed second set of Motor Side assembly. Due diligence: watched Devs meeting video from Nov 14th.
3 Hours
Fri Dec 15, 2017
Short Iddler Side printed successfully. Created .gcode file and started printing another set of parts (Motor Side). Preparing (straightening bows, sanding of edges, degreasing), squaring and gluing of 16" D3D frame (+-4 hours). Put together some of axes parts to check the squareness of the 8mm rods. Prints are very precise. Rods are parallel across all planes. Assembled HBP support. Possible issues could be sagging of the far end of the heated bed after some use and jittering of bed if Z-axis needs to work too hard for the auto leveling during the printing. br> 5 Hours
Thu Dec 14, 2017
First set of parts printed with a fault (shift on Y-axis position halfway through the printing process). Checked motor driver. Swapped X-axis driver with Y-axis driver. The problem seems to be solved. Probably just a bad contact in the driver's connection. Created .gcode file for Extruder Holder. Extruder holder printed successfully. Created .gcode file for Short Idler Side. And started the printing process. Revisited some links that relate to the final assembly of the axes and printer. Looked at details for HBP holder.
5 Hours.
Wed Dec 13, 2017
Received 3D printer, assembled it and started the process of familiarization. Due diligence. Solved some issues (bed leveling and Y-axis motor driver). Familiarization with Cura, .gcode files and setting up printer parameters for PLA plastic. Printed test model and started first set of parts for OSE's D3D.
5 Hours
Tue Dec 12, 2017
Due diligence. Familiarization with HBP. Levelling and heating systems. Read through details on D3D Marlin, slides and associated links.
Completed order for new frames.
2 Hours
Mond Dec 11, 2017
Tried different positions for each cut frame to see if I could get a reasonable square cube but I am not happy with the gaps along edges. I have returned the cuts to the engineering shop and re-ordered the frames from another place that uses a laser CNC table. Hope to have the parts by next week. I am now a week behind schedule on the 12-week plan.
3 Hours
Sun Dec 10, 2017
Created hole templates to drill 3D printer frames. Made squaring aids with 30mmx30mm square box profile and worked on assembling the 3D printer's frame, but fail to glue the parts together. The cuts made by the plasma CNC machine at the engineering shop had to much angular error and the frames were not square.
5 Hours

Sun Nov 05, 2017
More work on Australian BOM for D3D Printer. Ordering parts. I would like to test the magnets when they arrive to have a precise idea of the weight they can actually carry. Watched developers meeting from Oct 24th.
4 Hours
Sat Nov 04, 2017
Looking for local vendors, Australian BOM for D3D Printer. Ordering parts. Due diligence: understanding specifications of parts to order the correct ones from alternative sources. Compromise between prices, shipping costs and shipping times. The paradox of choice.
5 Hours
Sun Oct 29, 2017
As I read through the piled up information related to the D3D printer, I keep drifting away from the main objective of this twelve-weeks plan, this mainly due to the lack of knowledge on the subject. The learning process consumes most of my time at the moment.
Embedded a copy of the August 12, 2017: RAMPS version of BOM to this log. I haven't yet made changes to it.
5 Hours
Sat Oct 28, 2017
Twelve-week D3D build plan.
4 Hours
Fri Oct 27, 2017
Working on finding local vendors in Australia for the parts in the BOM. I think that many of the parts will be sourced from current vendor links since most of these parts are substantially more expensive here.
4 Hours
Tue Oct 24, 2017
Kept at chasing links related to D3D printing development. List of parts, assembly, BOM, etc. Worked on a slide to outline a 12-week plan to put together a prototype here in Australia and evaluate the chances of at least gathering the parts in Argentina to build another machine over there.
See slides under title: 3D Printer: all links.
3 Hours
Sun Oct 22, 2017
Made an attempt to track all links related to D3D printing spread around OSE Wiki. I found this to be a time-consuming task, in part because I did not participate in the R&D process. Nevertheless, I believe that this information should be better organized to facilitate accessibility to all newcomers and those wanting to learn the basis of each development. This could also be related to my lack of overall familiarity with the way logs are kept. This exercise was still useful to learn several details associated to the D3D printing project.
2 Hours
Thu Oct 19, 2017
Watched some more free CAD tutorials and revisited Roberto's video several times. Phone talk with Marcin. Started putting together a twelve-week plan to build the 16" 3D printer here in Australia.
2 Hours
Wed Oct 18, 2017
Went through some more of the meetings and added minutes in a comment for the meeting of Wed Sep 27, 2017. Just by accident learned that YouTube automatically creates links for the time format 00:00:00 so one can create a sort of time index where different topics can be easily found within the video. This was a personal exercise in an attempt to keep track of the topics being discussed, but I think we should look at making it a standard addition to the videos. e.g.

Mon Oct 16, 2017
I've been catching up with what has been going on in the past four weeks. Watched recorded meetings and have a read throughout the slides and notes.
Ran new Linux live version (0.45) on an older computer. Everything seems to be in order. Booting up takes a long time, between 6 and 6.5 minutes.
5 Hours
Fri Sep 08, 2017
- Watched Aug 29 meeting video once again. Watched Sep 05 meeting video. I'm starting to find my bearings.
Important information from meetings is easy to overlook when one is not familiar with the details of what is going on and have to deal with many new concepts and tools.
Going to the supermarket to buy a notepad (handy for when I watch the videos on devices other than my laptop).
Left the Sep 05 meeting video halfway through thinking that I knew where to go and that it was going to be easy to find, but encountered the same issue as I did many times before: got lost in the Wiki. It reminds me, somehow, to those neighborhoods where the streets are not straight and one ends many times in some cul de sac.
- Added a link to the Tractor Construction Set 2017 and to the Power Cube v17.08 to this log.
- Started working on the Master CAD file for the Micro Tractor this evening. I managed to put the four holes to support the motors on the brackets but I think the large bore has to be reduced in order to have more material between the edge of the bore and the orifices for the bolts.
- Uploaded a new file for the motor brackets with the four holes to attach the motor. Not sure whether that is ok but I put it there just in case.
- I struggle with the constraint of parts in the assembly 2 workbench. I still don't know how to get one part or the other to stay in its place.
- I cannot preview my edits in the Wiki. I always have to save in order to view changes.

FreeCAD Encountered some troubles trying to fit the nut to the bolt. Not familiar with what ISOs are a match between the fasteners. Also, the Screw Hole Calculator says that a M30 screw should fit a hole of 26.5 mm but if I measure the M30 bolt with the ruler it says 29.91 mm approx. I do not know how to understand this discrepancy at the moment.

Another long afternoon in front of the computer with FreeCAD. It has been very frustrating at times. It reminds me of the days in which I wanted to format a letter in MSWord and had no clue on how to do it. Things are intuitive, but not so.
- Learned some characteristics of the Sketcher workbench and how to toggle between workbenches to access the tools needed for differents parts of the job.
- Encountered a problem that I have not been able to solve yet. When I try to sink or stretch my sketch on the face of one of the tubes a dialog box appears saying that the shape is not perfect or that it's not closed (need to investigate). The program also freezes for a couple of minutes.
5 Hours

FreeCAD
- Spend many hours in the afternoon of this day trying to find my way around different commands of the software.
- Imported the eight hole tubes from the library. Learned to copy and paste the eight hole tubes and how to move them away from the original so they are visible.
- Learned to activate the different objects (layers) and in which order to apply some of the commands.
