Good evening everyone, I just finished my 1st print on my Cr10s printer since installing a .8mm nozzle. My 1st print was the RH section of Dual Control yoke. While using the same recommended settings for print the time saved wasn't much since using 100% infill but the weight different is a lot. I recently finished the Captain's side for the Dual Control yoke using a .4mm nozzle @100% infill weighing 86grams, print time was about 25.5 hours. The F/O side using .8mm nozzle @100% infill weighing 196 grams, print time about 22.3 hours. This is an amazing design, I think with a .8mm nozzle the infill maybe can be less but Karl would be the person to ask. Both prints look very good but the .8mm nozzle feels very solid and uses a lot more filament. Both .4mm and .8mm halves joined together in last photo, this shows how good the design is! Thanks Karl!
Ours over here is Schedule 40 PVC dimensions are 89mm outer dia./and 76mm inner dia. I did check today to see if i could find something smaller but no luck. thanks...
Great write up Louis, what is the standard PVC pipe size you can get over there, I can always quickly adjust the head to fit the pipe. I know you have already printed them, but it might help others.
Kind Regards
Karl
Thanks I will look into that....
Louis, Hope you are doing well. I was just looking at your comments on the .8 mm nozzle. I still need to try this. Interesting what you found. I'm working on making Karl's single yoke. In your last picture I noticed it looks like you're using regular pvc. I started with that and then found what I think is called sewer pipe at Lowe's which has the 82mm outside and 72 mm inside diameter that fits the yoke head perfectly. Just an fyi in case you didn't know about it, either way yours looks great!
