NOTE: Beta7 drops support for 90 degree servos!
During testing I found out that a 4:1 gear ratio is the best balance between gear size and cutting performance. Older versions of EREC had a 2:1 gear ratio which still was too weak for some special filaments ;)
- New double-helical gearing system to prevent vertical flexing during cutting moves
- New 4:1 gear ratio for even more cutting power
- M3 Heat-set insert to hold filament better in place
- Stiffer servo mounting to prevent flexing
- Encoder rail to support
Cutter_Arm
during cutting - New mounting for the
Servo_Gear.stl
- Even more improved knife mounting
- Angled knife for better cutting performance
- Support for PC4-M10 bowden couplings
- Added filament guide to prevent cut pieces from scattering
- Added zip tie holes for better wiring
- First official tip collector! 😉
- Overhauled documentation for easier assembly
NOTE: Beta6 drops support for the old ERCFV1
- Helical gearing with a higher module to prevent slipping From my testing the gears work a lot better then the Beta 5 ones, had not a single slip during my testing
- Moved servo a bit up to fix issue #8 The new ERCFV2 Encoder changed a bit compared to the original Binky, this required a repositioning of the gears.
- Added lock nut to the pivot to prevent the screw to be loosened over time
- Made whole construction stronger to prevent flexing
- Improved knife mounting I'm still not sure about this one, feel free to give your honest opinion about this #6
- Made transition between encoder and arm smoother
- Adjusted mounting to be rotated up to 100 degree when loosened
- Improved ECAS mount
- Moved heated insert of encoder 4.5a slightly inward to prevent breaking
- Added some washers
- Added carrot 🥕
- New Logo
- Considering my other ongoing projects, I’ve decided to appoint u/BioKeks as the new primary contributor to this project.
- Adaption for the new ERCF2.0 Encoder - made by u/BioKeks
- Overhauled the cutter design for more cutting power and reliability
- Adaption of the Binky encoder for Beta5 - made by u/BioKeks
- Improved bowden tube fit by adjusting the encoder - Thanks for the feedback u/xF4m3
- Fixed an overhang issue with the
Encoder_Cart_Left.stl
- made by u/BioKeks
01/10/2023: Triple-Decky Support
- Adaption of the Binky encoder for the 3PS version - made by u/BioKeks
- Adaption of the Binky encoder for the cutter - made by u/BioKeks
- Fixed an overhang issue with the
Servo_Mount.stl
