cloverplus V2 additions .. inductive sensor and streamlined carriage with optical by Mystereon

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I expanded my cloverplus .. now running a 150mm dia milled steel plate with a 100mm oil tank heater under it , insulated from the frame by floor foam cut to shape , the spring of the foam pushes the thermistor nicely against the heat mat and firmly against the underside of the steel bed .. i get to heat in 10 mins tops .. much less with the aid of a hairdryer !!!!
The inductive sensor loves the steel .... and the optical endstops are perfect every time.
I ran the inductive through a relay .. 12v straight from the psu and the output across the relay coil .. the switch side is just ..a switch .. so just two pins on the ramps and no nasty voltage backfed from the inductive sensor :)
oh and the rigidifier .. it helps loads .. and the stiffy/spacer enables a fix to a cupboard back.. I use a deep single kitchen wall unit , like you would put crockery in , with a big glass door . 8825 stepper drivers with the cupboard means ZERO noise !! and RGB LED strip round the doorframe inner ..
HUGE RESPECT TO PBMAX FOR THE JOY THIS HAS PROVIDED
CONSISTENTLY AMAZING PRINTS EVERYTIME .. AT SLA RESIN QUALITY :)
Oh and many thanks to my dear friend Mark for his patience and kind
supply of the carbon filament i used in the effector .. simply sublime .
Any questions .. ask me
