During a move from one side of my printing table to another, I bumped the PSU with the Y axis stepper motor. This light tap caused the motor bracket to delaminate into two pieces. I am going to try some ABS gluing later today to fix the issue. This occurred after a few months of use and over 20lbs of plastic being ran through the machine.
Let me know if you can’t get it reprinted.
20 pounds! Man my AO-100 is underused.
Sorry for the off topic, I hope you get this part fixed/replaced quickly and can get back to extruding large amounts of plastic.
ABS glue is your friend.
I glued it back together with ABS, it seems to be holding. Letting it dry for another 8 hours or so and then I am going to print a replacement.
Orias I do need to talk to you about my hot end when you get a chance.
Feel free to PM
Here are some shots of it glued together. The white residue is actually a grey that is the result of the black ABS glue being applied too thick. I decided to paint the whole bracket to help fuse the outer layers better.
I wonder if changing the print orientation may prevent such a mishap to happen again?
adding 2 extra mounting bolts certainly would (behind, or under the motor, mounting the bracket to the aluminum)…so it is not trying to bend on the mounting holes.
or you could print 2 of them and glue them together, back to back to get the same affect
Hey, just so we’re clear: it seems you got this handled, but if you want us to send you a part, we can certainly do that no problem.
Hey Jebba, no worries man. The glue fixed it and I have already printed a replacement!
