I have some wobble being introduced from the printed spools. I will try to address that. Other than that it seems pretty spot on. More testing needed but I will try for self replication just as soon as I feel that I am ready.
This is a hard one to overcome with consistency. Engaging brainstorming mode:
One simple possibility is to make the spools a vitamin out of metal.
Another is to print a fixture that makes perfect spools by:
1) The fixture spins the spools and holds a [ file, sand paper, or Dremel ] so that they can be filed own to a precise round dimension.
2) The fixture is a rotary table for GUS that adds a precise way to make perfectly round prints (another axis.
Would it be cool to put a stepper motor on the bed and print a spool right on the shaft as it spins (Temp 4th axis)?
