High Temp IDEX
I'm deep in it now. Any thoughts on the industrial/engineering material pathway?
đ˘ Stage 0 â rigidity (rails + frame)Â
1)hiwin linear rails
2)creality dual z kitÂ
3)z pom nut mounts
4)Y extrusion to enclosure mountingÂ
đĄ Stage 1 â heat survival of motion systemÂ
1)ASA frame clamps
2)PPS / Al SLM Volcano mountÂ
3)Aluminum SLM Y belt tensionerÂ
4)Stepper watercooling / high-temp steppersÂ
đľ Stage 2 â stable 70°C enclosureÂ
1)Aluminum enclosure panelsÂ
2)Main bed heaterÂ
3)Second 600W PTC heaterÂ
âď¸ Stage 3 â IDEX mechanical architectureÂ
đ§ Stage 4 â dual motion control systemÂ
1)High-temp beltsÂ
2)PPS / SLM printed partsÂ
3)Clean + high-temp lubrication of motion systemÂ
4)Heat cycle + re-tighten everythingÂ
đ Stage 5 â production tuningÂ
1)Hot tighten everything at 80°CÂ
2)Run all calibration and tuningÂ
3)70°C input shapingÂ
