Default Re: Axle suggestions?

Frizzen:

I haven't been able to check on this thread for a while, and I didn't see that a couple of months ago you'd asked me a question - until today.

All my printing to this point has been PLA. That includes the cooling fan duct on my D6 printer, and it is only about 10-15mm away from the hot block of the extruder in one spot. I don't leave my parts exposed to a heat source. I did make some motor mounts for the stepper motors on me CNC router. It's still a work in progress so I can't say if they'll hold up or not, but that's what the MPCNC uses so I think it'll be fine?

If I'm concerned about part strength I'll increase the number of perimeter walls and the infill percentage. I usually shoot for about 1-2mm separation between the infill grid-lines if I'm worried about the strength of the part.
