      @@JamesRowlandsRocks Yup, a typical modern supply rated for wide range 100-240vac input can be fed with anywhere from 100-400vdc and still work fine, although obviously you want to avoid the extremes of the range. 130-370 VDC should be safer. There are more safety considerations because switches and fuses may not properly interrupt high voltage DC so be careful.

    Based on experience, I *think* a lot of small gas engines have a governor to maintain a set speed, so you just need to tweak that to maintain the revs under varying loads, thus negating the need to have Dan manually doing the speed regulation (If it does have one, it's usually a long-ish lever thing coming out the crankcase and connecting to the carb via a linkage and spring).

    So what is the input voltage range on the printers powersupply? (It would not be strange if it was something like 80-250VAC if it is supposed to work in both 110V and 240V countries. Also, it will surely accept DC input as well. So then you would not have needed the inverter or even all the different pulleys. Perhaps it would even ‘just work’ with the no-load voltage somewhere near the maximum and just hope it does not sag below minimum under max load)
    Also, I’m kinda jealous of your oscilloscope and multimeter. In the sense that I wish I had those, not in the way that I would like to be treated like you treat them. Most definitely not XD.

    Instead of using a 12v to 120v inverter and then the printers 120v to 12v psu why not just use a 12v regulator in place of the PSU?

    I can think of so many ways to make this better. But that's not what I'm here for. I also have a treadmill motor I thought would make a decent generator. But rated at 190v it's sat on the shelf for years, I've a 24v system. But duh, just run it slower. BIG BRAIN.
    I'd be thinking regulation would be very useful, muuuch bigger capacitors, I've a few that are beercan sized that would make life far easier, less twitchy. I also wonder if a solar MPPT would help? But solar panels are inherently current limited, internal combustion, not so much. Something would burn out. I think this is how Hondas Inverter gensets work, let the motor and generator make electricity at whatever ugly voltage and frequency it wants to be happy at, and then use electronics to make an actual nice regulated sine wave AC Grid style power. That you actually got it to work manually is pretty impressive.

    Okay
    But can you power a 3D Printer with another 3D Printer that moves the Heatbed and the Extruder all the Time?

    Hey, I came here to show some love after you helped Kurtis Conner with his Command Center project but stayed for your humor and crazy ideas.
    Also, seeing you guys adjust the voltage of the generator using trial and error AND becoming human PID controller afterwards cracked me up because it's the kind of thing I would think of doing but wouldn't have the courage to. 😂

    Ok… I’ve seen a lot of crazy things. But this… This is whole different level. (But its cool!👍)

    I never know with you Americans what you mean when you say gas: gasoline or natural gas? USE TWO DIFFERENT WORDS LIKE THEY DO IN THE UK.

    Do you know you could have just connected the printers power supply with that treadmill motor!?
    Those switching power supplies do rectify the AC anyway so you can feed them any frequency AC or DC as long it's roughly at mains voltage. Assuming you live in north America those 100ish volts would be fine!

    You had a chance to make things so much more. By taking the 100ish volts through a capacitor bank to stabilize then into a highter voltage diac or similar device into a home made transformer. Noting that 100vdc would give you about 67-70 vAC. Alternatively to the home made transform you could have gone through a variac. Up to the 110 - 120 vac and powering the printer. But that's not half as fun as what it would have been to see the linkage and clutch thing you'd have built if removing all that and just had the controller operating the solenoids to the clutches and it all running off a battery bank. Lol

    If only that gasoline motor had some sort of reciprocal motion that switched directions over and over really fast that could have given you AC power... (Was my instant thought when she mentioned needing an inverter, because my ape brain saw "120ish volts, you're good!")

    Unnecesary complicated. it should run without inverter. 3d printer has switching power supply, you could power it with anything from 100 to 250, AC or DC, rectifire on the input of PSU does not care.
