That's a constant force spring - www.thethriftybot.com/products/constant-force-spring-kit

FIRST Robotics Competition swerve drive!

Probably no cause you will lose the tension from the coils

Oh the printer has an auto camera system and if you insert a MicroSD card a auto timelapse of a print system but it doesn't record the sound.but I bet you can find it online from my experience the sound isn't that bad and I highly suggest this printer fast and good quality prints.

I've got some Bambu PA-CF on order to compare! 😀

@@thethriftybot5299 let me know how it goes, my company uses a markforged m7 with onyx but we also have a bambu x1. comparing data sheets for the materials bambu PA-CF is 2x stronger than Onyx and polymakers PA-CF is about 3x stronger. Im planning on convincing my boss to let me try some out.

@@thethriftybot5299 Any updates, hows it going? Ive been struggling to keep it dry, since it seems like filament from bambu/esun arrive already wet

Both! I'm going to try some other PA-CF filaments too, but if a team can buy a Bambu Labs 3D printer and get similar quality to a Markforged printer, it would be much more affordable and realistic for many teams.

@thethriftybot5299 2 mentors on our team have recently purchased bamboo x1 carbons, and the prints that have come off of them have been great. The only issue that came up was with Nylon X (Matterhackers pa-cf) . It warped a small amount but stuck to the build plate so good it actually lifted the plate off of the magnetic bed. That only happened once and hasn't happened with any other pa-cf. We found that if you run a filament drying cycle before printing, it ends up preheating the chamber and keeps the Nylon X from warping

This depends on this thickness of tubing you're using. Here I drilled this on a .100 piece of versatube. The plate is 1/4" thick so you'd need something with a grip range of at least .375. Here I think mine went up to 1/2". But if you're using thinner tubing like the 040 maxtube you would only need a rivet that covered the grip range of over .29".

Yes it's just a 3d printed cylinder that gives something for the spring to spool on

You attach the string to your hook or around the end of the 1" stage maybe around a bolt or whatever your team decides

The video example used a 63:1 through a versaplanetary using a Redline 775 motor

The roller that is inside it is more of just a guide / spacer for the overall assembly to keep things properly spaced. The end of the spring bolts to the bottom of the tube which ensures it cannot spin freely. Let me know if that helps.

The assembly manual notes some things teams can do to ensure safe use. We are including a quick release pin with every order and recommend teams drill a hole through the stages when collapsed and then insert the pin during travel or leave the mechanism fully deployed when not in use.

If you can't get any gap between your plate adjusting the thumbscrews then you need to adjust your Z-offset. That procedure can be found here: support.markforged.com/portal/s/article/Adjust-Z-Offset-Desktop

Thanks! I agree that there's not really any guidance on how the shim should feel, it's very much something I've learned just from using the printer over time.

I'll work on finishing it up this week. Thanks for reminding me 🙂
