Photos of our hot-end-wall at work. Middle red one is rework, holders all 3D printed. Left one is pre-solder, right one is ready to be thrown on a machine and tested. Trying to get organized so we can build printers faster…
Looks like you could use that design to hang all sorts of hand tools. Just as a suggestion, make a key or sign and hang it above or next to the racks. That way if anyone sees the parts hanging they will know the manufacturing state without any knowledge of the manufacturing line.
@Brian_Wilson that’s what we’re trying to do. We’re making the assembly process start at the back room, and it kind of spirals inward until it reaches the center, and then goes to packaging. Huge thanks to LulzBot and UltiMaker for giving us some hints.
What’s your bottleneck?
Why do you hang them in a sort of guide rail whereby holders move due to their weight.
@ThantiK Man! Is Deezmaker going lean six sigma? Ha
@Billy , testing. We do a 6+ hr print on each machine before it goes out. Because our first assembly isn’t reliable enough to assume it works the first time.
Is that an auto-level probe I see on there?
@Mike_Kelly_Mike_Make , yes. I’ve posted all about it in the past.
@ThantiK Alright well I just looked up all your posts since last year and couldn’t find much about it.
Looks like a servo driven design to me, but I’ve been trying to get some more inspiration and insights. Especially for nozzle based probes. http://i.imgur.com/UoEpxI4.jpg?1
