Sliding Lid Tolerance #220

Closed eaudiffred closed 1 year ago

eaudiffred commented 1 year ago

Opening this issue to discuss the tolerance and fit of the sliding lid.

eaudiffred commented 1 year ago

@keenanjohnson, Interesting that the lid and base you printed are so loose! When I print them on my Ender 3 V2 its a pretty snug fit. Tight enough that if I push the lid halfway on, I can grab the other half and shake it pretty good without the two separating, lol. I'm glad we are discovering these differences.

Thanks for assuming I planned the Lid/shroud interference fit, lol! Totally lucked into that one.

Would you mind printing another lid test to see if we can tighten up the fit? I believe HCG uses the same Prusa printer as you. I can post a slightly modified file in this issue.

keenanjohnson commented 1 year ago

Sure happy to do so! I wonder if it might also be due to material shrinkage instead of just printer tolerance.

Perfect! I'll print one out now!

@keenanjohnson, good call, very well could be the material.

The above file is tighter by 0.4mm

keenanjohnson commented 1 year ago

Yeah I've been doing my test prints with Hatchbox PETG. What have you been testing with @eaudiffred ?

keenanjohnson commented 1 year ago

The new lid is much better. https://github.com/Ribbit-Network/ribbit-network-frog-hardware/assets/2559382/71cfb5a7-0fde-416c-a2ff-5fe2ab7b59d8

@keenanjohnson, I have been using Overture PETG.

I forgot I put the frog on the front. That one is a little too deep. It worked better at a 0.2mm extrude. That one you have is a 0.6mm and it got a little sloppy. What do you think? Unnecessary/overkill, or cool?

eaudiffred commented 1 year ago

Glad the tolerance is better. I do want to to have some resistance to stay in place.

keenanjohnson commented 1 year ago

Thanks! Yeah I think the frog on the front could be nice, but it's a little deep right now for sure :)
