Back Plate and Rail Wheels
Lab Work – Working Through The Challenges Associated With 3d Printers, Printing, Upgrades and More
Long awaited parts are on the truck this morning, should get the final pieces by 2pm or so.
Quick update, all the parts to update the Ender 3 Neo Max to run TPU should be in hand by roughly ~2pm today. Ultimately, I’d like to get the rebuild out on the interwebs by the end of the week. I’ll post the tear down pics today, below. Just a few, to help you understand what needs to be removed, replaced and rebuilt. If for some reason the parts are delayed, Friday should still be a reasonable goal.
If you’re new to the site, check out the Max Neo challenges in the Output archives… for those who just want to see the rebuild, just understand this – we had a few prints that went sideways, by sideways, extruder was found buried in filament, grinding away at the build plate. Ultimately causing a meltdown, plate parts thrown out of the machine etc… prior to the blow out, we had a few successful TPU test builds go to term, however, the standard build (Ender 3 Neo Max Bowden Extruder setup, standard build from the factory) wasn’t working. Please note, sometimes you’ve got to ‘break’ things to truly figure out the right path; change paths per say. Anyhow, not to belabor the point here, but, we should have all the necessary parts to finally rebuild this machine with the correct parts and extruder to build more ‘things’ with an array of filaments.
