Starting to dive into PLC controllers and automation system to help improve the part assembly time on our 3d printed products.
We spend 20-30 hours a week packing boxes. Gluing parts together, Installing hardware, etc.
Finally done printing my multi board wall. I still need to make all my tool holders etc but the base is finally done. It’s 6 plates tall by 24 plates wide. I’m guessing it was around 1000 hours. It was 700 something just for the plates.
I have been doing research and have found some solutions on how to do this but wanted to see if anyone has some first hand experience. I am printing with 30 or so P1S printers exclusively ABS and need to start building a serious air handeling system. These are in a 14,000 Cubic Foot room.
I am thinking I will duct all of the printers together and pull the air directly out of the printers the trick is going to be doing this without cooling the inside of the printers. Than taking that air passing it through a heat recovery ventilator to recover some of the heat especially in the winter and pump that back into the room.
The questions i am working on are.
- How do i measure the air being pulled from the printer.
- How much air should be being pulled from the printer.
- Making sure the air pull is balanced between all of the printers.
- Is there a way to monitor the air pull to make sure this doesn't change.
- I need this to scale this building is designed to fit 300-400 printers.
- Is there anything i am not thinking about or issues i may run into?
What’s the most popular longboard? I am doing some market testing on a new “grip tape”. I want to make make some for a few popular boards and see if there is market interest. The product is going to be custom CNC cut “sea deck to fit onto boards. Not that people should ride barefoot but for the ones that do…
Just moved my company to a new 2000 S.F. Space so we have room to grow and expand.
