First and foremost,
- will V1engineering address the issues brought up!? so that the initial purchase includes all the mods.
Since I am unable to post properly, a forum mod should move this post as explained below.
I posted this under the Advice topic and YourBUILD topic.
As much as I was convinced I would build a Lowrider2, that is coming to an end.
To be treated as a child having to earn badges to be allowed in the mix is already enough for me to turn away. I am an advanced person in this world, I donât need to prove myself or be held back.
This is not a high school juvenile site⌠off with the restrictions.
I am unable to post a proper topic.
This reply will probably not be conspicuous enough for hardly anyone to see it, since it is not a TOPIC. My intention was to start a proper topic.
Yet that is not my reason to walk away from a potential solution.
Note:
âŚand as usual, those who run forums are clueless as to the mediocrity of their layout.
The list of topics is but a hodgepodge of non-sense titles, in a massacred order that causes one to scan hundreds of lines to find anything.
Surely, a search tool can filter via key words, but still the default list should be presented in a default alphabetical order that offers an ABCD⌠trigger to pinpoint a section. The second key word in the tags should further automatically sort the result set in sub groups, etcâŚ
If a topic is about bits, its first title word should be BIT,
NOT: ââŚas I was thinking of my âlittulâ sisterâs toy I am concocting, I was thinking of what sort of bits I would need to purchase!..â,
âŚso it automatically falls in its natural alphabetical subject of treatise.
There is more to it⌠not my job to provide a full analysis.
Get new programmers! or send the current ones to school.
The topic I intended to post:
Topic title: BUY or notBUY - Lowrider2 - preBUILD - beforeBUY
Here is what my research on the Lowrider has shown me.
It resulted in the following list that I compiled on the fly while watching the video below, which happened to answer all of my own questions and more. I have covered many more sources, this just happens to be one of the most useful.
LIST first, video below:
- wobbly, tubes springy
- 2.5D smalll detail quality issue
- forgets to lift Z axis
- Z axis plunges gradually catastrophically.-
- PLA printed parts crack and fall apart
- belts grip holder tension mechanism issues
- PLA weakened by stepper motor heat, shield needed
- extra clamping gantry - double story to improve stability and reduce wobble
- Y axis added block to hold and tension belts
- Z axis limits, limit switch enclosures
- Y axis limits issues.
- Y axis groove for wheels train - tracking failing due to dust - groove needed to keep true tracking
- Y axis wheels below table
- Dust chute, not needed - bringing performance down
Note: pros and cons here, depending on scenario. I have my own idea that brings a complete solution to all the issues brought up on the dust collector in the video. âŚthough the solution the video poster proposes is simple and may work for many if not most scenarios. - LED bit carving area lighting
