This morning, I got new updates on the ongoing tests that I delegated...
The front belt cover has been printed and the tests are also concluding...
My tester reported that everything is lining up perfectly, and he is totally enthousiast about the next steps...
That being said, later on, he reported issues with the servo saver... He sent me a picture.
I checked my model, and revert back quickly to him about the outcome, and suggested he take the servo saver component from the Bearcat SS on Thingiverse
. He was already considering two other solutions, but the Hirobo one should work here...
Next I did some work to estimate the costs of my venture in Bodyshell making... The mould would need to be printed in a material allowing for high temperature: highly expensive (far too much, out of reach).
did considered next an opposite mould : that makes the things slightly less costly, as the material can be basic, and would allow to pour in some high temp capable resin... Less expensive but unfortunately still out of reach...
It's a bit disapointing. I may print a counter mould at home, bit would need someone to be able to work it out for the next step... Dead idea?
Well, I toyed a bit with the idea of printing a bodyshell, and adapted it for this (another fork in my project tree). After some work : here is what I have.
And it may look acceptable.
I'll make it in 2 or 3 parts as even fro my Ender 5 plus, it is too big, and while doing this, I may want some people being able to print it on smaller printers...
Let's see where this goes in the next days...
