i live in a small apartment and so every meter count, i m trying to make a station for my H2d, i think its almost perfect, its compact and i will send the spec to a company to make it out of metal so its strong enough.
here is the basic, it will have a floor print of 75 X 60 CM the H2d will be on the floor since its heavy the wobble won’t be great in the long run, above the H2d is my normal printer, with enough room in case i change it, i plan that level to support around 25-30 kg with the AMS HT on the side, and finaly above all will be 2 AMS 2 pro.
now my question is how much of an angle can i place the AMS without any issue ? there is no point of putting them on a flat surface.
The station will be mostly metal for sturdiness, so don’t judge the thickness of the elements in the visuals—they’re just for better visualization.
I’m thinking of adding a support at the back of the base and removing the side support, because the floor might be uneven. I don’t want anything except the feet to touch the floor directly, so the plan is to keep it a few centimeters above.
It looks like you may have already factored in how to vent the fumes to outside as there’s the blue box at the back of the printer which might be for it.
I thought it’s worth mentioning anyway as it’s going to be really important to get any fumes out of your apartment. No point waiting 20 years to find out if the fumes cause weird health issues/cancer etc.
i an also thinking of a way to make the station taller so that way if i get rid of my paper printer i can still put another 3d or resine printer in its place without having issue because of height of the AMS
and i read online that people have gone to 150 cm without any issue either.
in my tallest configuration i will need around ~105 cm of tube to connect my AMS to the adapter, so what i plan on doing is having the adapter above the platforme and behind my paper printer this way i can use a 20 cm piece of tube to be above the platform then connect the adapter to the tubing that goes to the AMS
so it would be in tallest configuration :
25 cm - adapter - 88 cm - AMS 1 total length 113 cm
25 cm - adapter - 82 cm - AMS 2 total length 107 cm
and in smallest configuration
25 cm - adapter - 65 cm - AMS 1 total length 90 cm
25 cm - adapter - 60 cm - AMS 2 total length 85 cm
so i would still be under 150 cm, and also the tube would have almost no angle so less effort for the motor of the AMS
and i will see with the company i contacted if i can reduce it even more because i have 10 cm above the H2D, but if they can place the H2d on a Sliding tray of sort, so i could reduce that distance to maybe 3 cm or less, same thing with the thickness of the platform of the paper printer that is 5 cm and i am sure they can brig it down to 2 or 3, so that is a gain of 9 cm
which would make the bottom connection 16 cm instead of 25 making it
104 cm and 98 cm for tallest
and
81 and 76 cm for shortest
The usable length appears to be quite generous—I once forgot to reconnect the PTFE to the toolhead and ended up feeding a few meters of filament into the chamber. Oops.
