Peter Wallers Robot Ramblings

Some interesting tips, I'll have to make note

You have an Up! mini right? If so do you have much ability to control the hot end temperature?

[peterwaller]

No its an UP Plus and the only control of temperature is ABS or PLA setting
Along with the cheap yellow ABS I bought some cheap Black PLA but the head temperature seem to low in PLA mode and it had trouble feeding it through until it finally stopped feeding altogether.

Here is the new flea version of Flippant.


I had to go for the very light structure as the lifter servo is 19 gms.
Mind you for that you get 3.5 kgcms and 0.05 sec at 8.4v.
Here it is in action:

It came out at 68gms so I might be able to add a bit of armour to the front.

That's very impressive. Think I might have to try a combat worthy fleaweight for November.

[peterwaller]

Here it is finished with titanium armour on the front it come out at 75.2gms.

I originally bought it for an Ant but wanted more torque this is the one.

By the way I forgot to mention that in line with my policy of coming up with very original and totally meaningless names the new robot is going to be Fleapit.
Sorry Dave

[Remote-Controlled Dave]

Well, its much better than the one I was expecting...FlipFlea.

[peterwaller]

It almost was all the 3D drawings are in a directory called flipflea at the last moment I used one of the word websites to find words with flea in and thought this one better.

Good man
