Drill Pelletiser

<p>I liked Sungod3k design but i had to use a vice to hold in place while the drill ran, so I made a more substantial assembly and used a 608 bearing to maintain the drill bit centered in the assembly, for the time being the trigger part needs to be held down with a Velcro strap but I'll look to address this short coming in the coming weeks.</p> <p>Also unlike Sungod3k design mine is only for 1.75mm filament as this is the only size I run I have also put multiple feed holes and made sure the output is complete clear along the flute length so the drill can be run in any direction.</p> <p>The reason for multiple holes, is i discovered that the hole on the drill bit side start to widen out as it is in use, but if you have access to simplify 3d you use a process change and use more permiters to strengthen this section, it works on most drills but I did design it to work on Makita drills but as you can see in the picture it also works on Black and Decker handyman drills.</p> <p>But make sure you use a nice sharp drill, I have one of the sutton cobalt range for the sharpness.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>My Own Custom Built Printer</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.3mm or lower</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>30%</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>Printed in PETG but if you have it available Polycarbonate is better to use for the heat and strength handling.</p> Also the feed holes are 2mm in Diameter and may need to be reamed/cleaned out to clear the feed path I had to do this. <p>But apart from that just the usual cleanup, and you'll be good to go.</p> </div></p></p> Category: 3D Printing
