My version of the LYMAN FILAMENT EXTRUDER by bottleworks

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This is my version of the "LYMAN FILAMENT EXTRUDER".
This version has a:
Larger Hot end with 350 Watt heater
Automatic timing system
fan ducting
Modified sprokets and hopper
Adjustable motor speed on the control panel.
Basics of how it works:
Flip on the main switch. This turns on the cooling fan. Then press the red Momentary pushbutton. This activates a 1 second timer that gets latched on and begins the motor timer set for 20 minutes. The latched 1 second timer powers the relay that powers the PID. I used the 1 second timer because I wanted the control mechanics as I made them. Unnecessarily complex, but it's what I wanted.
If you take a look at the parts I used, you might see a lot of dollar signs. The parts that I used were mostly free. I endup collecting a lot of stuff that gets deemed "broken" or otherwise would have been thrown away.
