3. Z, bed, spool holder - [9] 17”

Firmware

• Firmaware goes back from the 2-wire endstops to 3-wire endstops with indicator light to make fabrication easier. File:Marlin D3D Pro v1.0.zip no longer works.
• New firmware builds upon the last version with 3-wire endstops - from 3D Printer Genealogy - the first version that had 2-wire endstops was D3D v19.02. Change log from v19.12 firmware states " Change log: endstop_reversing was reversed on X and Y compared to former versions". Thus, chaning this only would suffice - reversing back to the opposite of File:Marlin D3D Pro v1.0.zip
• New file: File:Marlin D3D Pro 2.zip

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]. Started with 5', wrap was more like 4' long.
• This is packed into 4' of 6 mm tight braid fiberglass sleeve.
• Fence wire is used to couple 200C wire to nichrome, in order not to burn out 200C wire. Nichrome is wrapped around the fence wire 5-10 turns
• Copper wire is soldered to the fence wire.
• 10" end piece of 6 mm tight braid sleeve covers the 200C wire, fence wire, and ends of nichrome.
• 2 strands of nichrome heater element are made, each 14' long, each about 600W.
• Ends, covered by 6 mm tight braid sleeve - stick out the finished bed. Third wire set is the thermistor, which is wrapped with 2 mm tight braid so it doesn't melt out.

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:

Heater Element Wrapping Procedure

1. Cut 14' of ga 24 nichrome
2. Cut 5' of tight 2 mm fiberglass sleeve
3. start the wrap of nichrome on one end of sleeve
4. Attach other end of sleeve to a free-spinning rotor
5. Once enough to go inside a cordless drill chuck - grab the nichrome wrap and turn on the drill in reverse to start wrapping. Tension the sleeve against the rotor
6. Wrap away! A person should be able to wrap 4 feet long just by holding a cordless drill
