So - this didn't make it 6 hours with the steppers running 833rpm (3000deg/min at the face plate) (forward reverse some positioning...)
http://electronicsam.com/images/greenmachine/IMG_20210317_073558.jpg Now - I am sure it would last longer if it was run slower... The flex gear now has the consistency of chocolate.. It just crumbles. So - I printed the flex gear out of petg. As of this morning it has run for 12 hours and still positions correctly. I would say - if it last a good 24 hours - it will be perfect for a hobby 4th axis. It isn't going to be run like this in normal situations and you can always print more gears... sam _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
