Hi, I ordered all the parts for the ASMBL Tool. But I wonder how to realize the power supply. The ESC only supports up to 3S (12,6V). The Tool Changer unfortunately have 24 V. For me it's also not clear what you use for the vacuum?
In addition to which vacuum I’m also curious whether the vacuum is somehow controlled by the Duet since you definitely wouldn’t want it on while the tool is inactive. From some of the Twitter discussions is sounds like Greg is going to post some firmware stuff fairly soon so I think more information is coming.
I’m ordering all the stuff on the Bill of Materials. Im confident by the time it all arrives and I get around to printing out the parts more info will be disseminated. Also need to dig into Andy’s GitHub page and start researching how to actually get the process working. So there’s time. Exciting times.
There is also the latest Makers on Tap podcast with Sanjay to listen to while we wait, just added to my queue. And I am in the middle of the Hemera update, guessing my subtractive tool parts won't arrive here for a month or two so plenty to work on until then!
Go on getfpv.com or an fpv site of your choice. Look up a 6s capable Esc, there's a bunch, and do the math to select a compatible motor. 12v x motor kv is much different than 24v x the same kv. Look for something wound lower. If you were building a quad you would probably be looking at something between 1200-1900kv. The responsible thing to do would be to do some chip size calculations along with your cutting rate to make sure you get a motor that is optimized for what you want to do. I'll make some posts with the specs I choose once I get started on my tool.
I bought multiples of some items like belts, bearings, gears, bits etc. Including the CF-PETG i think i probably spent around $200. Had to have the small pulley shipped from England that was like $20 shipping for a $3 part. Could not find it anywhere in US. Most of it has already arrived and is sitting in the basement waiting for me to inventory, start printing parts, and assembling. Alas, I must work my real job to pay for my hobby.
E3D's video shows a hand-held vacuum (dyson) at 2:38 Some or all Dysons operate on ~21-22v. I found an old one on Ebay and I will report back on performance.
It's a Dyson clone, and 12v. I took it apart and removed it's control electronics and wired in a PSU directly to the motor. The 12v supply from the PSU is turned on / off via a mechanical relay controlled by the Duet.
Which model did you use? Is it a clone of their upright, cylinder or hand-held vacuums? I noticed that you have an enclosure on Thingiverse which you mentioned was for the ASMBL tool - Is that necessary or does the vacuum do a reasonable job on its own?
For what it's worth, if anyone gets an old Dyson and plans to control it with a relay like Greg, you'll need one of the older models that use a standard DC motor. Somewhere around 2010-2012 Dyson started using switched-reluctance motors which cannot be driven just by connecting to power. Or better yet, just get a clone like Greg.
The case if there to provide some protection from broken components, or parts flying off the bed when using the subtractive tool. We have had collisions which have broken the endmill and other instances where the part being milled has detached from the bed and then thrown accross the workshop by the spindle. The vaummum is there to remove the chips. It makes a horrid mess if you dont have it. It gets everywhere! Image above with no vacuum. Above image of a similar part with the vacum installed. The difference is huge!
Just an FYI in case anyone is looking for the 3mm bore 16T pulleys (they're a pain to find), I found a UK eBay seller who stocks them, and I've picked up a set that just arrived. Bore is about 3.07mm, and fits perfectly. I also got the 20T version, which fits even better, but is too tall to allow for the lower end of the shaft to be inserted into the bearing (and would require a different spacing for the whole assembly). I'm not affiliated with the seller in any way, just trying to help everyone out sourcing their parts (mine's going to be installed into my Jubilee when I get the time to make it happen). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GT2-Pull...var=602102052810&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
BTW, a real simple way to add a relay to control a vacuum would be the "IoT control relay" from digital loggers. https://smile.amazon.com/Iot-Relay-Enclosed-High-Power-Raspberry/dp/B00WV7GMA2/ https://www.digital-loggers.com/relay.html (for US plugs, but they might make one for UK plugs too) If you can find a vacuum that will turn on when you plug it in, this would be a very simple add on.
I had ordered the 16T 3mm pully from JUGETEK on Aliexpress because it stated clearly it had a 3mm bore however what they sent me is clearly 1/8” instead. That ebay seller is now out of stock of the 3mm bore 16T unfortunately. Anyone found another reliable source that has actually received a pulley and confirmed they are the right size? EDIT: Just to note that I disputed the order with a picture measuring the bore and to their credit JUGETEK did provide me with a refund immediately.
Hi everyone, thanks a lot for all these informations. @Greg Holloway , could you give me more informations aout how to connect the ASMBL to the Duet board ? Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot for your answer ! Everything is ready for me, I've : T0 : V6 T1 : V6 T2 : Volcano T3 : ASMBL But how you know how to match the wires to the correct pins ?
