Universal build completed. However worried about how to stop Nozzle crashing into build plate? Physical stop in Z axis rods?
X axis appears to be weighed down by the extruder, bending under the weight. Z axis motor struggling to lift X axis and extruder.
Where does spool holder go?

Reduced Esteps from +425 down to +100.00 in Arduino program. Line 489 in configuration.h of Marlin_universal.h.
Carried out Extruder calibration. Extruding 100mm of filament.

Ready for benchy trial print.
Formula New Esteps = Old Esteps (100/filament extruded)

Build cheatsheets + CAD

1st test, LCD powers up OK. Blower fan not running. LED on AC-DC Converter flashing instead of on steady. Check at output, measuring 0Vdc. Disconnecting RAMPS board, output from AC-DC converter measures 24.5Vdc. RAMPS board faulty. Replacing RAMPS board before testing again. Replacement RAMPS - LCD screen to faint to see. Adjustment brightness also nor enough. Replacing RAMPS again.

Worked on MicroTrac. Finished shell, tacked on quick attach plate. Set project aside until we have coupler for motor at which time we’ll build mount for motor and brace quick attach plate to the mount.
Met with Catarina and came up with a game plan for putting in rock in front of HabLab.

Completed heat bed and heater assembly.
Now putting it all together. Mounting heat bed and connecting it up, ready for first test.

CNC sawmill + Universal Track Unit CAD

Continuing Universal build. Completed wiring and controller assembly.
Heat bed build and nichrome wire heater assembly.

Worked on MicroTrac Mower all day. Starting to look like a mower now!

Install OSE Linux v1.0

Worked on the Wall Module 05 Cheatsheet

Worked in shop on MicroTrac and MicroTrac mower. Went to Cameron and got nozzle gel and marking chalk while looking at couplers for pto hyraulic motor. Laid out and started fabricating mower deck.

Worked in shop, swapped bottles on torch, dug out electric motor for making electric power cube for in shop, dug around for parts. Worked on Mig welder #5, put new tips on it, unspooled wire. Dressed up eye to weld back on Microtrac. Welder welded one very good bead, but continually messed up after that. I tried various things but could not get it to weld consistently before snarling the wire,, will have to go back and tackle it in the morning.
Met with Catarina and went over how she wants rooms in HabLab finished out.

Fider Built out. Built Server, installed docker, configured

Took apart #5 millermatic mig welder gun, pulled out liner. Blew air through it, found some liner lube and blew that through it. Wire on roll not rusty. Drilled tiny holes through felt cleaner that rides on wire so it will make full contact again with wire, soaked the two of them with liner lube. Reassembled everything, ran a test and it worked perfect. Finished welding on eye for hydraulic cylinder mount on MicroTrac.

Rosebud: construction details

Moved Marcin’s books to MicroHouse 4 and dusted off the cobwebs. Checked out Faculty house and set out mouse bait.

Met with Marcin, went over goals, discussed MicroTrac Mower, Marcin set up my computer with OSE Linux 1, tutored me on freecad and working with wiki. Watered the plants. (They are really taking off in the greenhouse!)

FreeCAD Badge

Researched different styles of brush hog style mowers for skidsteers, determined we need a gear reduction to use a 540 pto hydraulic motor. Scrounged up a bad bag of concrete and got enough usable out of it to mix a batch to patch a few holes in HabLab to keep out pest, patched several holes. Note: need brooms for shop, all we have are at HabLab. Got Microtrac cranked, put on the bucket and scraped "Y" in driveway where a burn pile had been. Going to scrape a second one but ran out of fuel, went to my house and got fuel. Left track seems to be hanging up a bit, will have to check that out, maybe its too tight.

Drove to St Joseph and picked up tub cartridge from Lowe’s for Microhouse. Came back, installed, turned on water and tested, reinstalled wall and trim.

SEH v2 Wall Module 5 Cheatsheet

Bathtub faucet in Microhouse broke, Took off faucet handle, cartridge turns stop to stop but running hot water only and won't shut off. Pulled off plywood wall panel behind tub to see if there was a shut off, but no shut off. Cartridge needs to be replaced or change out entire faucet.

Made video for OSE FreeCad Badge. https://youtu.be/2i9WEyX42BE
Worked more on learning FreeCad.

Watched FreeCad videos, took OSE FreeCad Badge test

Assembling my 1st D3D Universal.
Videos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/pVVUpjVCZTirL58XA
Have to re-work heat sink. Bolt hole too small - 3.5mm instead of 5mm diameter. Reason was thickness of heatsink was less than 0.5 inch (12.7mm). Actual is 11.8mm therefore cannot fit 5mm dia hole positioned 10mm from edge. Contractor chose to make smaller dia holes in order to position 10mm from edge. What we should have done was to reduce the 10mm measurement down to 9mm in order to fit 5mm holes. Next time. In the mean time have to rework heat sink holes so that heatsink can be adjusted to ensure filament is straight going into heat break.

Removed door frame in HabLab restroom, swapped out washer, reinstalled door frame. Mopped floor in bathroom with bleach, put up tools.

Met with Marcin to plan.

Swapped out washing machine at Microhouse to use in HabLab. Bailed out water in HabLab washing machine.

meeting with marcin

apprenticeship, SEH2 cheathsheets

fixed a few typos from Recent Wiki Changes pages and noticed differences in exterior sheathing color in wall modules & thumbnail pics in SH3D and posted to Facebook group about it.

13:35.
Continuing build of D3D Universal Printer.

10:30am
Print set up for "Left Corner" - D3D Pro. 3 previous attempts failed, print not sticking to bed because 1st layer didn't go down nice and evenly - bed not level.
4th attempt: nozzle temp = 230deg. Z -4mm; start time: 10:26; 3:36mins; 120g; 15.20m; Grey.
Uni base print fail - the layers are shifting along Y axis - I'm not sure why, I check tightened both Y axes belts. It may be the filament snagged and impeded movement along Y axis. Anyway try again. Using Red filament. Also changing the orientation of the print by 180 degrees, see how that prints.
Uni base print take 2: Start time: Postponed till tomorrow - filament not extruding correctly, it's coming out with bubbles and looks all grainy. Suspect moisture absorption - Drying out filament in dryer.

Rosebud wall modules: re-design, build instructions

Start 5:30am Saturday 5th June.
Began by re-tightening Y axis belts. Adjusting X axis belt - was too tight.
Adjust heat temperature back from 210deg to 230deg. see what difference in Print.
Began 1st print of the day at 7:15am. 8hrs 3mins, 320g, 40.42m. Expected finish time: 15:18.
Print failed, found Y1 pulley loose, not turning with motor. Disassembled Y1 axis and re-tightened grub screws, applied loctite 243. Reassembled, tested and printing again beginning at 09:49.

Printed 1st universal base for OSE. Print is not too bad. There is a bit of layer shift on Y axis. Will tighten Y axis belts a bit more.
8Hrs 2mins to print.

Start 5:30am.
Order for 12 Universal bases. First print my 2nd uni base.
8hrs 2mins per print. 320g therefore, 3 prints per 1kg roll. Can do 2 prints per day back-to-back. Not yet comfortable leaving print over night, too many things can go wrong.
Continuing maintenance on S/N: 0001. Cleaning off rust on Z axis rods and greasing to prevent further rust.
