Yihua 8786d Rework Station "carry kit"

prusaprinters

<p>So my bench is a watchmaker's bench and my workshop is a 1-car garage, which means stuff needs to be portable. &nbsp;I needed a rework station and they all pretty much assume they own your workspace and maybe elsewhere? &nbsp;But not around here they don't.</p><p>This is Rev1.0, if something doesn't work hit me back. &nbsp;This is the print that made me fall out of love with Overture PETG as I realized that I've had 2/8 reels be bad. &nbsp;The kit, as shown, is a witches' brew of Overture PETG, Matterhackers PETG Pro (also a pain to print) and Overture PLA.</p><p>The 8786 has three M3 rear chassis screws per side. &nbsp;The basic design sandwiches a tip holder, an air nozzle holder, a handle and the 8786 between two risers sized to fit on a Prusa MK3S. &nbsp;In order to make the handle un-fuggly I gave it a secret stash. &nbsp;It looks like poo if you put it on one way but seamless if you put it on the other.</p><p><strong>HARDWARE</strong></p><ul><li>QTY 10: M3x10 socket head cap screws (8786 mount, tip holder)</li><li>QTY 4 : M4x6 socket head cap screws (air nozzle holder)</li><li>QTY 1 : &nbsp;M4x20-25 socket head cap screw (solder bobbin)</li><li>QTY 3 : M4x12 socket countersunk screw (handle,cable reel )</li><li>QTY 2 : M4 nylock nut (handle)</li><li>QTY 8 : 8x3mm neodymium magnets (hot air holder)</li><li>QTY 18: 6x3mm neodymium magnets (tip holder &amp; handle)</li></ul><p>(I recognize that the two sizes of magnets are obnoxious but I had them on hand)</p><p><strong>PRINTING</strong></p><p>Everything prints without supports (it does now anyway!). &nbsp;Put a pause-print in the tip holder and nozzle holder to place the magnets; they're captive. &nbsp;The magnets for the handle just need to be glued.</p><p>I usually use captive Nylocks to bolt things together but there's no room on this. &nbsp;Instead the tip holder and hot air holder need to be tapped. &nbsp;One way you can do this is by heating up your screw and screwing it in. &nbsp;Another way is to use a tap. &nbsp;I went with the latter.</p><p><strong>ASSEMBLY</strong></p><p>None of this is critical. &nbsp;</p><p>I recommend attaching the brackets one at a time because when you take out the Yihua's screws the body panels wiggle a little. &nbsp;You'll need to finesse it a little because of that.</p><p>The hot air holder and tip holder sandwich between the brackets in whatever order. &nbsp;Do them first, prolly, then do the handle.</p><p>No reason to save the cable reel for last but it's whatever.</p>
