Microfactory Boot Camp - Introduction to Building the Axes

Introduction

Overview of the axes and how they are mounted to the frame. The same machine orientation has to be maintained during the build so that the builder can orient parts correctly.

Notes

• At 2:35 - Marcin discusses the magnetic mount. For D3D v18.09 - we decided to remove the magnetic mount due to magnetic interference with the heat sink fan of the extruder.
• The technique for attaching the magnets is still useful in general - and holds for other toolheads such as the laser head. The magnetic mount cannot be used with extruders with fans near the magnetic mount.
• Interestingly, some fans were stalled by the magnets, and other fans appeared to work well. One could hear clearly that the fan would slow down in cases where the fan was placed close to the magnetic mount. Since this did not happen to all the fans - tracking down this issue during the build wasted a lot of time. This issue did not appear in 2 previous builds.
