High Speed printing demands his tribute (Patreon)

Today, the new SLS-printed parts arrived. I assembled them and began calibrating the printer to check if the input shaper results had improved. However, the graphs were off, and I couldn’t even synchronize the belt tension. After some debugging, I discovered that I had bent the shaft of my front-right motor—something I never expected to happen. To address this, I redesigned the motor tower so the motor sits 6mm deeper, which should significantly reduce the lever forces on the shaft.

The new tower is currently printing. Luckily, I have a spare motor on hand, so I’ll be able to test the new parts this evening and release a new alpha version the following day.
