FYI, files are up. Enjoy.

Hey @Eclsnowman do you have a rough estimate of what the BOM costs? It sure looks nice, and I’m starting to get diminishing returns on the delta configuration. It’s time for me to switch sides.

@Matt_Kraemer I am working on getting hardware costs dialed in. Should be done soon. If anybody want to help I would appreciate it. It’s a lot if work optimizing product sources for best cost and reliability.

Agreed. I’ve noticed that HFSB5-2020-425-TPW is a discontinued product…

Not as of yesterday. Weird.

That looks awesome Eric!

@Eclsnowman If you’re able to confirm some products i’d be happy to update the BOM with more specifics.

1.) for the SSR, which of these 220B’s is it? http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_p_72_0?fst=as%3Aoff&rh=n%3A16310091%2Cn%3A306506011%2Cn%3A306528011%2Cn%3A306578011%2Cn%3A6374820011%2Ck%3Aomron+solid+state+relay%2Cp_72%3A1248921011&keywords=omron+solid+state+relay&ie=UTF8&qid=1426304764&rnid=1248919011

2.) for the fused plug switch, is it this one? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00511QVVK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1PH6OFMJYJKNX

Finally, I’ve confirmed that HFSB5-2020-425-TPW is indeed still available on Misumi (just added the necessary quantity to my shopping cart). /cc @Matt_Kraemer

@Eclsnowman ​ hey nice man. In the bom you list acrylic or polycarbonate. If you are laser cutting do not use polycarb.its horrible. Produces some nasty yellow gas and does not cut well. Mills fine but just and FYI to all. Been there tried that. Failed.

@Seth_Messer ​ one thing that will help is a vlookup against my Herculien BOM, many parts are the same. I am just kinda tired right now. Lots of late nights, and now my 2 year old has the flu. There is a lot of money to be saved getting the bolts and such from somewhere other than McMaster (like http://www.trimcraftaviationrc.com/).

Fastenal? I know if your company has an account with them your discount can be nuts. Mine is like 90%

Yeah but some thing tells me the big yellow heavy equipment company has more pull than mine :wink:

Awesome work Eric! Looks like I may be making a few changes to mine.

A few quick questions: How are you attaching the electronics bracket, SSR, PSU, etc to the underside of the acrylic floor? Glue?

Also, how do you plan to run the wires? Are you going to run them all down the single hole by the Y stepper? What about the wires for the heated bed?

Where can we get an aluminum bed like that cut to shape?

Sorry, not trying to be annoying. I think I’ll be taking a lot of these changes and making a custom, pubic Eustathios variant on onshape.

@Erik_Scott I was going to drill holes to mount the PSU and SSR. I forgot to model them. I run wires inside slot channel covers on HercuLien, it works great… But yes I forgot the entry hole. Wires for the heated bed have a cutout already in the back corner.

Cutting the aluminum will take a CNC or a steady hand. I called in a favor for mine. Sorry, I can’t help much on that.

I might be able to find somewhere to get the bed cut. Looks like I’m going to have to get more acrylic cut as well.

For acrylic I used a $10 fine tooth 10" plastic blade and a table saw. A trick I found is to spin the blade and smear the side with a bit of snowboard wax, once I did that cutting was easy and no burning smell due to friction on the side of the blade :slight_smile:

Thanks for the tip. If it comes to that, I’ll keep it in mind. I’m hoping I’m going to be able to get back up to school one of these weekends to see some friends and I may be able to sneak in some laser cutting.

So I can order the frame based on the xcell document? I’m good at price hunting but horrible at parts verification. (not sure if that makes sense or not). I buy alot of wrong parts and send them back all the time.

@Gus_Montoya to the best of my ability yes… You are good to go.

What size is the biggest part to print?

338x358x320 with room to optimized.

Thanks @Eclsnowman ​, but I mean, if I want to print the parts myself, what build size I need to print the bigger one. I will check the STL later to find out.
