Prototype Motor
09/14/2022 at 19:11 • 0 commentsAn 8318 motor attached to a moteus 4.11 (mjbots not affiliated with this project) by a PC-Max bracket. The bracket is printed on a garolite bed with a gluestick and enclosure for no warping or lifting. The power wires are 16 ga soldered to banana connectors to the drone power wires. The magnet was installed by first drilling a hole in the stationary motor bolt, then supergluing the hall effect magnet into the groove.

Filament Dryer
09/14/2022 at 16:26 • 0 commentsPolymax PC (PC-Max) 3kg roll on top of a food dehydrator (165F max temp). All the food trays were cut out of the rings to make a dryer just big enough for the roll. The polycarbonate doesn't really need drying it seems, and it helps to use it inside an enclosure. Nylons and ASA definitely need to be dried and bagged before use.
