During the build we planned for some sort of program controlled "air blast" whether the ends up as a fog buster or plain air.... or something in between. Stuart and I had some fun in the shop and came up with a simple way to implement air blast. A few bits of brass and some tube. 2 part epoxy into nozzle. 1...2...3 "bobs you uncle" ... ehhh, idk just yet. some messing / modification still to do. During my planned prototype "air master blaster 5000XL" test the VFD faulted, causing the machine to go into a e-stop state. It worked rather nicely! Going to further investigate the drive tomorrow. the error code hits to some sort of over current protection, use set i hope!!
Cheers!
FOCUS!!!!
Free hand with a wee ball endmill, makes set up for soldering much easier due to brass tubes self aligning on the "fish-mouths"...the rest is "bling"
The bits, and a few "test pieces"...
