Talk:Kienle ToDo
Along the lines of D3D info page, here is a copy of an email i sent to marcin. TLDR why and how to do D3D Benchmarks. I don't have a D3D yet (Or any 3D Printer for that matter), BUT if you do, this would be a GREAT addition to our data, as well as a marketing tool.
The Email:
I think that it would be beneficial to potential buyers, as well as the 3D Printing Community looking into our work, to print some benchmark prints, and go over them + measure with a digital caliper.
This may also make reviewer recruiting easier as these videos in a playlist can make a sort of “so this is what a D3D can do and why to review it” pack
This also gets usable, concrete numbers on the D3D both for advertisements and for design considerations (of printed parts, and work on improving future machines)
These will be non-device parts, so aren’t exactly “functional” so some may see it as a waste of material, time, and printer space. HOWEVER, consider it a:
- An Advertisement expense
- A Tool for possible Reduction in Future Filament Use (Via being able to use lower infill due to better lattices, better tolerances so less reprints needed for a part to fit, and proper setting presets/diagnosing issues so prints fail less, if at all)
- Something that leads to Less Failed Print in the future, and thus less downtime and waste
This will use probably AT MOST ~1kg or so of filament depending on the scale of the prints, infill, and number of failed attempts. So, if you decide to do this, plan accordingly
There will also be a time aspect. Both in print time, and thus printers being occupied by this, and shooting + editing + uploading of the videos. So yet again, plan accordingly if you chose to do this.
Along the lines of how to structure the videos: Have the introduction at the beginning (what the print is, what it tests for), then a time-lapse of the print, then print removal, and the analysis/postmortem. One of these videos for each of the benchmark prints below:
To Print List:
1cm Cube (Good to try and get as precise as possible, and is simple to make)
3D Benchy (Good All-Around Benchmark)
http://www.3dbenchy.com/about/
Tolerance Test Gauge (Sees what is the tightest tolerance your printer can handle without (or with acceptable/fixable) parts welding to walls anywhere from 0.1mm to 0.5mm)

The Lattice Cube Test (Tests Overhang/Bridges, use of Overhangs, cooling capabilities, and stringing)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWRjCogOLzc (Introductory Video on It)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Hzij1PzZZU (Video Showing Results of Various Printers, and Different Versions)
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1868684 (A Free Open Source Open Scad tool for making these type of designs)
And finally
Some sort of horizontal bridging test/s like this (not 100% necessary as the lattice cubes fill a similar diagnostic role, but if spare filament and time is available etc why not):

If needing a cheap spool of filament to burn for these prints:
1kg of white PLA by Hatchbox goes for around 25 USD (Reliable Brand, and +/- 0.3mm accuracy sdo this will mean the filament wasn’t the problem if something goes wrong, not needed, but I thought you may not want to burn other filament on this “nonfunctional” side project)
1.75mm:

Some thought on the 4/16/2020 Misc edit:
So first off 3d printed motors:
- Can we make full on "industrial" ones for the big machines like the shredder etc?
- Gearboxes (planetary gearboxes etc) metal casting/machining may be needed, but as channels like Gear Down for What show, this is doable?
- Power is 3 phase doable?
- Cooling, will complex air/water cooling be needed
- How economical would small fan/quadcopter motors be? Main need is for cooling, and low level process air flow needs. Just don't know if it would be cheaper than some cheap off the shelf motor. May be so for quadcopter motors.
- Also i don't know if i posted it yet, but there is some intresting work on youtube on PCB Based Motors
Some web design stuff
- I may revive the redit page or SOMTHING for a live chat solution, as i feel that would make bouncing ideas around, and co-ordinating tasks simpler, and faster, thus increasing efficiency, can this be embedded perhaps?
- Auto redirect creation for simple things like plurals of the word etc, this seems complex and perhaps not-doable (i'm NOT the programmer here, so this is all very armchair), but this would improve site navigatability, and reduce duplicate pages
- Also is spellcheck possible (is often rough with scientific terms, and jargon, but may work?) on the wiki or is that too intensive, also any existing open source designs of this?
Software Stuff
- Is kden live better than blender for video editing in your opinion?
On the TV Remote Module
- This isn't top priority tech, but i am a smart home nerd. There is an open source system on merging all these, may be some ir control work there will look into it
- An arduino remote seems relitively simple too
Bit of a wordwall, also feel free to ask for clarification.
