I am familiar with some basic arduino programming, and also keen on 3D printing.
I saw pictures of some machined bodies for the solenoid as well as a completely 3D printed version. Could anyone post a link or share these files please for the "latest" version?
Sorry for this kind of questions, but I could not manage to find, yet.
Thank you very much.
best regards.
Hello Bauso.. Sorry I missed this post.
I have spent much time trying to get a repeatable and reliable 3D printed solenoid housing and its very difficult to make a reliable seal and get the tolerances needed for the "bore" to be reliable... My best luck has been with nylon (both regular and glass filled) but then it requires a post print "heat treatment" using a precise steel "bore mold" to get a precise fit.
I can share a file to print if you would like to try. I have reverted to machining my housings out of delrin (acetal) on my small CNC mill - I can get much more repeatable results this way.
Send me a PM with your email if you would like to try the file..
