DONE!!!! Printer is 99.9% complete. Just have to clean some minor things.

DONE!!! Printer is 99.9% complete. Just have to clean some minor things. Finished the control cabinet wiring today and ran some tests. So far so good everything is working perfectly.

Oh not bad. That’s what I expect in industrial gear. The only bad thing I have to say is some safety standards (the ULs and CEs out there) do not allow AC voltages except low level control signals on hinged doors and panels. At least I’m guessing those breakers and contactor have AC.

But still, quite impressive! Even I’m not bothering with raceway.

If you’re in upstate NY and want a job, I bet you’d do OK at the company I consult for.

Very nice and well done.

It’s a nice fridge, but now show us the rest of the kitchen… :slight_smile:

Looks great

@Mark_Rehorst you Can have a look at the toilets, on the top right of the picture…!

Great job, very clean

That’s a lot tidier than my cabinet.

Keep it uo

So this is a 3D printer control unit? Wow. I Like that you have a Raspberry Pi in there.

Yes please show the whole printer and do a write up on what each part controls?

Builds like this are my absolute favorite. We need a full size printer shot!

@David_Simmons This was my first time executing an industrial inspired control cabinet. I have no formal training in electrical controls wiring. I have a big passion for building machines and completely understand that my attempt would not fully meet all safety codes. I was limited on space and adding a second panel on the door solved the issue of space constraint. I can understand why you would not want high voltage components mounted on a hinged panel due to wire fatigue and possible failure.

@Alex_Skoruppa This is in my office at my personal shop. I do wish I could have the printer in my living room though. I am currently working on a desktop printer so I can have one at home.

UPDATE: Added a link to build album.(http://imgur.com/a/sPLMj)

Very nice! Im finishing up a build for the company I work for as well. It is also a corexy printer. Would you be able to share what drivers you are using and your config file for your X5 V3? Here is a picture of our cabinet for extra goodness

Nice build, are you willing to share the drawings and diagrams with us, i think there are more who want to build this awesome printer ! At least i will !!

My mess as it stands.

Very clean. Let us know how the core XY does in angular movements during a print. Please

@Blake_Dunham I am using the new Allegro 5894 from Panucatt. They are not as quiet as I had hoped but so far much better than the 8825’s. Yes I can share my config file. I can email it to you.

@Mark_Rehorst Doing the first official test print now! It’s going great. Printing directly to the MIC 6 bed. Adhesion is adequate but I plan to coat the bed with a layer of hair spray. I am very interested in the new Build Tak flex system and want to test it out when they release the larger sizes.

@Kyle1 Your first try? It’s better than I see from many in industry. Granted though I’ve seen public companies have wires hanging between devices in mid-air so…

The safety codes really just take the cleanliness and logic you’ve got and start piling on annoying restrictions. The willingness to do it “right” is more useful than just knowing codes. And you’ve got that. I mean come on you even used ferrules. Good work. I like it.
