Smart Orbiter v3.


Recommended Posts

Yet another upgrade to ever changing v0 mongrel that I have.20241207_120644.thumb.jpg.d216aa0fcc5fc88924a2b0b2a349f6b9.jpg 

It comes complete with: a bondtech MDS CHT nozzle, a 1,5 hex driver, thermal grease,  spare grub screws and a host of cables. I paid 103€ which I don't find overly expensive. 

The Orbiter 2 that's on there now is going on to my Vz330, its extruder, in the words of Shania, don't impress me much.

It's only taken 7 months, but here it is.

Now with a Smart Orbiter 3, big thanks to @atrushing for his assistance and Blender skills. He massaged the gantry mount to accept the SO3.

I don't know how it's going to go without the parts cooling fan on the hothead. I've put 2 7530 aux cooling fans which provide enough to blow most parts off the build plate.

It's a bit of a tight fit, it's lost a bit of X at both ends but the printable area is still 110mm in both X & Y. I'll get the Y back when I fit a clicky clacky door.

There's some tidying up to do with the wiring around the SO3.
