Specifications
- 12" heat bed
- 1400W heat bed
- Transitioning to OSE Universal Gearless Extruder
- Based on D3D Pro geometry
Heater Element
(See Nichrome Calculator)
Notes:
- Fiberglass sleeve used - HTG fiberglass, does not fray like standard high temperature sleeving (1000F) and is rated for . See [1]. Note that the resin can burn out at the 650C (1200F) workign temp. Sleeve has VW-1 flame resistance. Made of fiberglass, it does not burn out, but may fuse and lose fiber structure.
- Inner core: 5' long wraparound of 2mm tight braid fiberglass sleeve - 600C - [2]
- This is packed into 6' of 6 mm tight braid fiberglass sleeve.
Heater Optimization
Theoretical idea:
But, ga 18 can't bend easily using a cordless drill.
- 20 feet of 20 ga wire appears to be most convenient - 1 piece, max at 1200F. Current 500W heater is 1200F max, and works well.
- 14 feet of 24 ga works perfectly by hand to get a good wrap over 4 feet, and goes fast, about 1 minute pending tieups
