Lumen PNP Early Bird Assembly and Tips!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- I bought one of the early bird Lumen PNP kits from opulo.io and put together the frame and ran all the wires and pneumatics.
I'm one of the first people to assemble this pick and place machine so the documentation was kind of rough. I made this video to help other people and hopefully get the folks at Opulo to update their documentation, and make some tweaks to simplify the design of the machine. I'm excited to finally have a pick and place machine and can't wait to have it assemble my boards for me! This seems like it's going to be a really solid machine!

SO helpful to hear about your experience. Thanks for making this video, lots of good notes!
No problem, thanks for listening! While I was editing the video I was like I wonder if Stephen or any of the other devs will even see this haha
You're the ultimate alpha tester 👏
Thanks Darian! I believe in this project and want to help as much as I can
printing it wrong was my first fear when this product launched. Good to know that fear was not unfounded lol. I struggle to follow even basic instructions at times. This looks like a pretty advanced build. Even more advanced than a 3d printer.
After I released this video they did make a few updates to the docs. Hopefully by the time the next batch of kits are released it'll be even better! But yes it was a bit of a challenge haha
Thanks for your build video... I took notes on my printed parts list
I think I'm chatting with you on discord right now haha. In the video I should have said you needed 3 of the belt tensioners, not idlers, the exact part number is: FDM-0037
I am another early bird kit builder....Thanks for the video and all your comments. I have all the parts printed, the frame and the electronics assembled. Too many projects too little time. I need to finish the machine and put it to use on projects!
Oh I get it, I always have too many projects on my plate. I'm making some changes to my machine, and still configuring OpenPNP too.
Thank you. Your video should really help to perfect the product that I plan to but in some time.
Great video! My trick with inserting the belt was to bend the tip of the GT2 belt with your fingers to get it curling the other direction making it easy to snag with a tool.
Thanks! I tried that too but I couldn't get mine stay curled. There is more than one way to skin a cat ;)
@@curlytalegames2609 Indeed! Someone else taped a piece of a zip tie to the end of the belt to help pull through.
Since the belt mount holes are easy to feed through in one direction but not the other, I took a second piece of belt, with the teeth facing out, and slid it through the "easy" way (basically what you did with the metal piece, but with a belt instead), then I meshed the teeth with the belt that I was actually trying to feed, and then pulled both pieces back through using that second piece, and it went in super easy. Also, re: embedded nut thread issues, I had similar issues on some of the M5 nuts but determined that the problem actually occurred during the embedding process, the torque of pulling the nut into the recess actually damaged the threads. You may have experienced something similar. You can avoid the problem by adding a bit of lube to the bolt while pulling the nut through, going slowly, and backing out the bolt half a turn or so every few turns as you go.
