So it seems that most of the printer difficulties are resolved. Was able to print enough flanges and mold rings to end up with 4 molds.
That’s three poured today us the one that was just uncovered today.
With 4 molds I can pour 4 epoxy resin flanges per day. That’ll take 12 days just to get to the bare minimum to run the machine. Unfortunately, it’s has been taking nearly 4 hours to print a flange so not much more productive than casting resin. However, with a few tweaks to the flange design I can reduce the print time to about half. This makes it possible to print multiple flanges per day even if I have to work.
Between casting and printing I should be able to make enough flanges within a week.
Additionally I’ve printed a number of 3D printer upgrades which should help achieve more consistent and higher quality prints which may allow the print speed to be turned up a little.
