Has anyone made a xem v3 case yet?
If it’s anywhere, it should be here
However I dont recall a V3 case, but I may have missed it

That remind me I never posted mine … I had extra room for terminal block and a red button on the face

Do you mean the xacv3? The xem is the implant itself
From what I saw when I was sampling the various versions… and assuming DT is stocking the same one… it looked nearly identical in foootprint… the only thing I noted was the ribbon had a different layout so I don’t think you can pop a v2 out and a v3 in without rewiring it

Yeah the xac whoops. Yeah it seems the one I have with a case some made for the v2 is slightly to small for the PCB size. Or my a1 has some major issues and needs some adjustments. https://forum.dangerousthings.com/uploads/short-url/roTMDiMUi91RkMSVSHGF2WUFazj.zip
That’s the one I printed

Actually I just realized I can resize in slicer easy peasy. It’s been a long day. Thankfully it’s Friday hahah

I ordered the brass version of those and got the same maximum flow as the genuine CHT. But the no name nozzle starts to skip before the genuine one which produces a bunch of artifacts before completely failing.
I’m going to stick to the fancy one but the chinise ones can also keep up so there’s probably no reason to go for the expensive one.
And as you can tell, Ali shipping took a long time.
Wait till you see the @Eriequiet Mod.
You could stuff a moon rocket down the muzzle of that sucker.
Let’s just hope the concept works 
I realized early on into this wacky concept that Bambi’s flow calibration is absolutely not going to work…. So I’ll have to treat my x1 like an ender 
It’s also probably going to be crazy slow
O.K. it’s a given that I did this wrong, but feel free to correct me. (friggin metric didn’t help at all) Numbers and conversions are just straight from google so… trust as you will.
Bambu x1 comes with a 45 watt heater, may have an optional 60 watt heater.
PLA melts at a rate of 475 joules /cm cubed /second. Which is also 475 watts /cm cubed /second.
Figuring up volume of PLA each heater can melt.
45 watt is 45 / 475 = .0947 cm cubed / second melt rate.
60 watt is 60 / 475 = .1263 cm cubed / second melt rate.
Convert to mm and it’s .947 and 1.263 mm cubed / second.
Using an online volume calculator to work out the volume of a given cylinder length (by guessing), I determined that with 1.75mm dia PLA the max feed rate would be .0394 mm/s (45 watt) and .0525 mm/s (60 watt)
I’m assuming theoretical max, with no heat loss to ambient or frame of machine, so… a little less than that.
My math seems very suspicious. I blame the vagaries of the metric system. Still, PLEASE feel free to smack me with the stick of education.
I got these results with the stock Ender 3 heater which is a 40W unit:
Most of the thermal energy gets dissipated into the surrounding air and filament flow doesn’t have a big impact on the required power.
I’d have to look into it but it seems reasonable for the volume in cm^3 but not the feedrate or the volume in mm.
If anything, the thermal conductivity of the PLA is the biggest limit here. Longer hotends and CHT nozzles help a lot.
Yea that doesn’t sound right,
I believe bone stock using standard pla and standard .4 hotend and standard settings on the x1 my maximum volumetric flow rate is something like 18 cubic mmps, and I’ve seen people get it up into the 40s I think with hardware, settings, and filament
I’ve gotten even my ender 3 to spit filament back in the day…. Lemme see if I can find a video of when I was printing face shields for a local hospital using a 1mm nozzle
This was with petg also, so I couldn’t go as fast as pla would have allowed
If you have an ender you should recognize the speed of that extruder for that it is lol… my spool was constantly in motion

ID tags with contact info for people without mean of saving contact any other way than wearing them …
PS: The religious nature of those is trying to ensure the recipient will actually keep them. Mental illness sucks

I recently had to decaffeinate my phone… 
Also, a 3D printer bed at 70C with a folded paper towel on top is great if you want to remove the back cover on modern Samsungs.
Why do they glue these things together!? A few years later, they are no longer waterproof!

They usually claim it’s for manufacturing simplicity and waterproofing… but it’s generally just to be anti repair

What do you mean an overlay file?

I think they mean a negative space that fits an object.
