TPU to TPE? TPU was a decent printing filament. TPE... it would print, but things had to be perfect. Still don't have alot of experience with TPE and I have printed a lot of filament. I printed the InMoov Robot this year.
Another thing to consider is that the true temperature might not be what the thermocouple is reading or better yet what the controller is interpreting it to be. Is this a DIY kit? Custom firmware like marlin? Reason I'm asking is that if it's custom firmware the constants might be off and true temperature could be different.
cool, how much did it cost?Here are some small Magnetic Frag racks meant to acclimate some of my frags into my LED lit system.
Inspired by PaulB's Mandarin Feeder design, I just made a 3D print version of it. It started almost 2 weeks ago from the drawing board, literally:
Sep 18th: I like to have the tube removable and leave the feeder on the sand bed and let the fish keep picking on it.
A small connector that always connected to the long plastic tube for pouring the shrimps in. It can then twist onto the base feeder that is sitting on the sand bed. The feeder could have an optional even bigger sand bed base that go under the sand so the feeder won't get blown around by the water current. There will be a cap for the feeder. Either just direct 3D print with tiny holes, or an open cap to allow using a normal mesh.
Sep 25th: After many days and many re-design for real world issues, here is the latest design:
The feeder is anchored down by the base to avoid floating away or getting blown around by the reef tank water current. Just a push and a twist on the feeding tube, and the feeder can be removed from the under-sand-anchor:
After pouring in the BBS, you can unscrew the feeding tube from the feeder. The rigid air tube is compression fitted to the screw-like connector. You can put in a blind-plug to close the hole without getting your hand wet.
Here is the under-sand-base and the feeder:
Everything is modular design. If you have a thinner/thicker air-tube, just need to re-print the screw-like compression connector. If you have a different size funnel, just re-print the funnel-airtube connector.
The screens are changeable as well.
The next revision is work-in-progress to have interchangable under-sand mounting legs, so that it could be buried in various places and situations.
I made a similar thing a year or so ago. I took several pieces of eggcrate, stacked them and tied with zip ties. My goal was to stop so much swirling and allow a steady vertical rise. I'm interested in hearing if that was your goal and how it's working? I also wonder if those holes are clogging up.Wanted to share my printed bubble buster , printed on my original prusa, using simplify 3d, variable infill per layer
Interesting idea. What skimmer are you using it on? Would you share your file on it? I want to try something a little different, but think it might make a good starting point.Wanted to share my printed bubble buster , printed on my original prusa, using simplify 3d, variable infill per layer
I've always hated trying to tighten a nut on a bulkhead that is down at the bottom of an overflow box. This is a simple tool that lets you get a good grip on the nut, without having
to use a pair of channel locks.
Printed in about four hours, but I'll throw it my bulkhead box and use it whenever I need it. If you'd like one that is a different size, drop me a message and I'll make a file for you to print.
