AndyWay too many materials in this and I spent way too long getting petg dialed tight for perfect gear tolerances but the umikot is coming along. Just need to order some short needles and I’ll be done.
Asa/petg/pla
s�d@LordofCandy i added a tiny little bit of lubricant in one of the middle layer disks thingies and it really helps!
@pl nice. I tried some of my spray ptfe/teflon but didn’t see any improvement. Might try some paraffin wax or super lube. It spins well but I’ve got like 2’ which needs a little more oomfph and it niggles at me. Heheh.
Also man it’s bulkier than I thought. Did you get your needles from somewhere other than AliE? I don’t mind waiting for some things but I hate to order a 1g packet of needles for 3 weeks. lol.
@LordofCandy I already had a WDT tool from Amazon which had the same needles, so just removed them from the handle. I used something oil based for lubrication that worked well (before it would certainly get stuck when trying to rotate with the handle that's not on your picture so not sure if you just that)
