How do I put the dual-piston parts together?

jtragtenberg commented 4 years ago

First, what kind of spring should I use? Where do I put the magnet? where do I put the hall effect sensor? Facing which way? What polarity of the magnet is directed to which side? What has to fit perfectly? What I need to use glue? How should I glue it?

I used supports in the cup file and had a hard time to take the support out. There could be an indication of that in the documentation. Which configuration I could and shouldn't use for each print

do i need to sand the borders of the top holes?

jtragtenberg commented 4 years ago

Should the hall effect sensor be facing this way? witch the fillets facing up? 85f71d6e-8cf1-4d8e-802d-844b9ffe9ea7

What about the magnets? should they fit? it would be interesting if there was a fit here to guarantee a centered and levelled position. This hole should fit a magnet perfectly? Should it stay at the bottom of the whole of the surface ? 4f7007a1-72b3-491c-a721-50579793ff3c

Assuming the magnet is meant to fit perfectly in the hole, centered and flush with the top surface, this is arguably a 3d modelling issue rather than a documentation issue.

This could also be approached by ensuring the STL files have the part modeled in its printing orientation.

It's a good idea though to include information about whether to use supports etc. with the STLs. Unfortunately I don't know of any cross-printer cross-slicer way of sharing this kind of details. A text file may have to suffice.

Yes, we should change the stls orientation so they are ready to print! And I agree we should think of a way to suggest which ones need supports. Maybe a tag at the end on the file name like probatio_block_top_dual_pistons_cap(use_supports).stl or just a “*”. Not the most elegant solution, a table would also be good but I think the file name communicates faster For someone in the printing labor :)

It would be nice to have a table showing

a rendered image of each 3d model in the direction it should be printed,
a link to the fusion file,
which models should be printed together and a visual representation of how the connect,
maybe a picture of it with the sensor used,
if it need to be printed with supports

can you think of anything else?

About the piston Magnet fitting I believe there should be a fast way to reparametrize the size of the hole if you could only buy a magnet with different dimensions. For now a fusion 360 file is good enough, but maybe we could design it later in openscad. This would also solve issues with poorly calibrated 3D printers with the right magnet dimensions

I will close this issue here then, since it moved to the appropriate repo
