    Carbon filter usually goes first, you can also see that in commercial products, because filtereing air for fine particulates and then releasing carbon particulates in the air again is not a good solution. You can also have a HEPA filter first then the carbon filter and the again a HEPA filter

    • @MrGemeco
      @MrGemeco 13 днів тому

      I've actually been wondering this, the Ikea air purifiers and Airthings Renew all put the carbon filter after the HEPA filter. The Airthings Renew also uses a HEPA 13 filter which is often a bit difficult to find on air purifiers. I have a 3-4 particle sensors and under normal circumstances they often hover around 2-4 PPM both for 2.5nm and 1nm particles , so I'm unsure if having the carbon filter after the HEPA filter actually does release carbon particulates.

    The volume of air going into the filtration system and coming out of it is (very nearly) the same. How will this create a low pressure inside the enclosure?

    • @SlowEngineering
      @SlowEngineering 12 днів тому

      1. Air Removal Creates Negative Pressure ◆When the fan actively sucks air out of the chamber, it removes air faster than it can naturally flow back in. This creates a temporary low-pressure zone inside the chamber. ◆Even if the air is circulated back, the fan continuously pulls air out, maintaining a lower pressure inside the chamber relative to the outside. 2. Flow Resistance in Circulation ◆The air being circulated back into the chamber typically passes through ducts, filters, or other components. These elements create resistance to airflow, slowing the rate at which air re-enters the chamber. ◆This resistance prevents the re-circulated air from fully balancing the air removed, keeping the chamber under negative pressure. 3. Concept of Airflow Balance ◆The rate of air removal by the fan is greater than or equal to the rate of air returning to the chamber. As long as the removal rate exceeds the return rate (even slightly), negative pressure will persist. ◆Circulation alone cannot eliminate the pressure difference because the fan continuously "dominates" the airflow. 4. Analogy for Clarity Imagine a vacuum cleaner sucking air out of a sealed box but with a small hose feeding some air back in: ◆The vacuum cleaner pulls air faster than the small hose can supply it, so the pressure inside the box stays lower than outside. ◆Even if you connect the hose to the exhaust of the vacuum cleaner (creating a "circulation"), the resistance in the hose keeps the box in negative pressure. 5. Application to 3D Printer Chambers In the 3D printer chamber: ◆The fan removes air, reducing the pressure. ◆The re-circulated air flows back but encounters resistance (through filters or ducts), making it slower to return. ◆This results in a persistent negative pressure, ensuring fumes or particles are pulled into the filtration system rather than leaking out of the chamber.

    Have you ever consider using voron trident as a base architectur? The global efficiency will be better for tool changing (no need to go back to the dock level for every tool changing (if fixed position dock)). The tool changing mecanism will need to evolve to accomodate with the available motions of the gantry but the global system can be more efficient than flying gantry +flying tool dock).

    • @SlowEngineering
      @SlowEngineering Місяць тому

      I agree-the Voron Trident has a more adaptable architecture for building a tool changer, much like the Prusa XL, despite how it handles connecting and detaching toolheads. I went with the Voron 2 because it’s my main printer, and I wanted to leverage what I already had. Plus, adding the floating bar has really boosted the efficiency of my setup. Thanks for the input-it's great to compare approaches!

      I did that because the XY gantry is leveled with the bed. The bed might not perfectly align with the frame when heated. Therefore, the floating bar aligns with the gantry, not the frame, to swap the toolheads. I hope this can answer your question.

      I think the same concept of forming two bearings and a grinder bit can still solve the problem. A kind of spool rack supports the filament spool on the edges instead of the center. It features two-point contact with the spool. This concept can be applied to the idea I showed in the opposite way to make the cylinder slim with a 2-stage process, too.

    • @terl0th
      @terl0th 2 місяці тому

      @@SlowEngineering My first guess would be to print something like a tongue and groove mechanism for Z (direction of the spindle) with one or two locking screws to lock the mechanism. If you dont need free adjustment, which i guess it doesn't, you can integrate like two interfacing gear racks to increase the rigidity. The mechanism for the radial adjustment and the bearings would be on the moving part. This might be a bit bigger overall, but i think the adjustability is worth it. Also, prototyping is obviously very fast and easy with 3D printing. Edit: To answer your question: Clamping the rods should be stiff enough for this application if you don't use the smallest rods you can find (like 4mm and up should be fine) and you're clamping on a long enough stretch of the rods.

    • @SlowEngineering
      @SlowEngineering 2 місяці тому

      @terl0th The slide for the radial adjustment should be interchangeable for different hole sizes. Building another direction of movement should also be as easy as possible. After some deep thinking, I change my mind about sliding the rods. Sliding makes the tolerance, which affects the circularity. I prefer to replace the slide with different rod lengths. The tight fit between the rods and the printed slide is the key to keeping the circularity. A slight change to make the slide be replaced at the end should be okay for quick swapping.

    I wonder if you can change the mechanism of docking to be up/sideways/down instead of front/sideways/back. That way you could put the bar above the flying gantry and for the cost of some z-height the other extruder tools don't need to move anywhere, they will just stay at a static position. You did mention putting it on the roof of the printed as one of the options, and that the "problem" with it is the head needing to move a lot on z to reach it. I don't think it is such a huge concern, can probably just make z movements be faster and with the four belts and four steppers there is no shortage of power on a 2.4 for those movements.

    • @SlowEngineering
      @SlowEngineering 5 місяців тому

      If I understand how you mentioned it, it is more likely the TapChanger. The docks are at the printer's top, and the printhead needs to go up for tool changing. It is a promising way to have the toolheads. My concept is to reduce the movements and quickly change at a certain height. It will be more complex, but it will be more efficient once it works.

    *_IMHO_* - A solution with a _stationary_ Bar but more capable Z-Steppers for speedier Gantry travel would be more favorable since it is less complicated and more elegant solution 🤔

    • @SlowEngineering

      The purpose of the floating bar is to reduce the time needed to change tools and the total printing time. If using a stationary bar, in most cases, the bar is at the top of the printer, which causes the tool to change up and down constantly. Some models have already shown how they work. The floating bar tracks the gantry and eliminates most travel to enhance efficiency. However, your suggestion is indeed a less complicated solution. Thank you.

    why is everyone making toolchangers for voron 2.4? I guess because its way easier than other printers because it has xy and z all on the gantry?

    • @SlowEngineering
      @SlowEngineering 6 місяців тому

      I think the Voron Trident is much easier than the 2.4 for having tool changer modifications. People build tool changers on 2.4 because of the printers most people already have.

    Would be interesting to try the glass-filled, carbon fiber reinforced, and matte (plant fiber) PLA and PETG variants. Perhaps the fibers will reduce the creep.

      @SlowEngineering 6 місяців тому

      It would be different with some additives. I already have some tests on the P150 and PA12CF. However, I don't have a chance to try some "matte" filament. What kind of application needs it?

      I don't use regular gear because of the backlash. I have seen the rope drive. It looks amazing.

    Could be bearing centering and balancing on the shaft. Technically there could be extra resistance due to the lack of tolerances. Also you may check the stepper tolerances and see if you can reduce deformation or use a material that's a bit more elastic . I'm not an me, but my electrical spidey sense are also tingling with drive current. Another easy one is to torque the screws.

    • @SlowEngineering
      @SlowEngineering 6 місяців тому

      I use two bearings to center the output shaft. I agree that poor surface qualities and tolerance will cause more resistance. In my opinion, the flex spline needs to be more solid to reduce the energy absorption for deformation. For drive current, I have already reached the recommended limit for the TMC2209 and the stepper with peak current in the 2A setting or 1.42 as the rms current.

    Belts are hard to beat for a low ratio like that. As much as I do love strain waves, I doubt you could ever get it to work very well with so few teeth. Cycloidal drive could work with discs made from flexible filament, but something more like hard rubber rather than the super stretchy stuff you used for the strain wave. Stiff enough that they won't deform too much under load, but flexible enough that you can make them tight fitting to eliminate backlash but they can flex a bit to move. Put ball bearings on the output rollers and ring pins. A solid squiggly line ring would have too much friction.

    • @SlowEngineering

      Many factors cause the strain wave gear to be inefficient, including surface quality, tooth shape, and flex spline material. Fewer teeth allow larger teeth to mate with each other, helping transmit torque with a larger contact surface, although fewer teeth might cause some ratcheting movement. I understand cycloidal drives can have similar features, like low backlash; the reason I didn't choose them first is their complexity. The design needs to be rebuilt easily and reliably by others. The strain wave gear has fewer parts compared to the cycloidal drive. Since the strain wave gear failed, I just stayed with the belts in this application.
