After careful consideration, we’ve finalized the mounting approach for the full-size chamber heater with ducts…

The Monolith toolhead uses the ducts as heatsinks, so to prevent heatcreep and increment the efficiency of the coldside it can be useful to have the part cooling fan always running at least at the minimum speed when the heater is on. This greatly helps with heatcreep prone materials, and it lets you print in hotter chambers without any fears…

You guys asked for the Klipper configuration to get started with the toolhead, so here it is. This only includes the critical stuff…

The last time Adeo showed us how changing the thermistor location will yield more accurate and less laggy readings…

Today, I post-processed the sheet metal parts for both printers. As I've said before, they're mostly 3mm alu plates with a couple of 5mm exceptions…

While developing a hotend, a critical choice to make is which kind of heater to use. There are a lot of alternatives to choose from, and each one has its pro and cons:…

After testing the current heatblock design, one thing that stands out is that the temperature isn't consistent in the cross section and the thermistor lags behind a while. This isn't ideal and can cause degradation in the filament, and print quality issues in general…

Another thing I've learned during the CNC kit testing is that even though the coil spring dimensions are in the BOM, the different materials have a significantly greater impact on spring stiffness and axial preload than I expected…

I designed an updated part for the old toolhead to support the U-groove idler. I can do direct flow rate comparisons using the milled copper block that I have.

During the milled LDO gantry development and testing, I switched from printed Z-belt clips to belt clamps. These are also available off the shelf, so I'm considering adding them to the sheet metal and maybe even the printed gantry…
