I can help as well. Testing out some PETG filament right now.

Jealous. I’m on break at work. Why are 3/4 taller, if the springs are all the same?

the 16mm spacer is supposed to go corner where the cord (sorry bad terminology) connects to the bed.

I can try that tonight. Are they apps on iphone

Thank you guys!

Good question..
I'm not sure if those Apps are available on iphone...


**********
I gravitated Away from Apple phones, once I found out they like to "Brick" their previous models Just Because Apple Corporate considered/Deemed them to be "OLD" ,via their iOS Updates..
Very insidious & greedy way to force folks out of a perfectly working or upgradeable (more than 2 year old)/"vintage" phone.

sorry for the side rant.

All good. I get it. All I have is apple though. Also, I cant use my printer for any other than idle, it’s broke. I’ll let you know when the warranty parts come

Just did 2 tests while printing 1st is @100% speed
2nd is at 130%

Both are about 1 minute with my phone "standing" on the front belt tension knob.

Biggest difference was Max db but that was more the table motors

Custom 120mm Fan Cover to replace the (NOISEY) Creality PSU's stock 60mm 24V fan And that Very restrictive airflow mount/cover in the Ender 3 S1.

But, Who would have guessed trying to source a decent 120mm Low Profile with hydraulic bearing 24V fan would be such a challenge..

They’re tough to find!

Tell me about it!

They did it deliberately..

Stock Ender 3 S1 Power Supply Unit (PSU)

OEM fan 60mm 24V , 0.1A

Looks good ;it's Low profile ;mounts onto the custom cover ,but it's 12V And...

 

[Tex Koder]

So in my enthusiasm..
I designed the cover to accept a 120mm fan Without taking into consideration how the PSU mounts back into the E3S1 base chassis..

I just assumed I can stick this contraption back in there once I get this big 120mm installed.

This larger fan hits a tab in the chassis which prevents you from getting the PSU back far enough in to the right place for its mounting screws to bolt it on..

Back to the drawing board..

 

[Tex Koder]

I had even designed and printed gaskets for this thing..

Wasted..

Wasted..

Sorry about that! Quite a bummer. Can you sand/trim the tab at all?

I would have to put a Dremel to it and cut it off..

Or
bent it like

 

[Tex Koder]

Designed a new PSU fan shroud (narrower) AND a temporary fan adapter (in Red -to use the OEM 60mm PSU fan ,so I can get my printer back up and running -to print some needed Custom Parts for @Senton_Prime.
He's been patiently waiting for his parts ,for a while now..)

I've placed an order for some new 92mm 24V fans which should be arriving in a few a day or so. Which will replace those small noisy units.


********************

In addition, I'm planning on raising the base up, by using 40mm standoffs.

To give the larger fans some more breathing room..

 

[Tex Koder]

Just a Rough idea/draft at the moment...

I want to create a Voron inspired "extended casing" along the lower section of my raised base..

Currently, with the 40mm standoffs installed , along the lower perimeter..

With original metal bottom plate installed to those new standoffs..

Extended Offset Display Mount for E3S1

I wanted the stock display further up front and "tucked" closer to the base than to have it sticking so far out to the side of the printer. In addition, I needed to make sure it's not in the way of the Extruder when it moves all the way over to right in the x-axis.

This is what I came up with..
Final version : 0.1j

Taking some measurements and trying to decide where I want to permanently relocate the filament run-out sensor...


Either at the Rear Right side position of the Z-axis carriage >

Very nice & convenient location.. BUT


Where the filament could be pulled in at an extreme angle when the extruder is all the way to the left...

Also once at Maximum height of a print... The filaments would kind of rub against the Z-axis synchronous belt..

That angle looks like it could be tricky with anything even semi brittle. I’m sure you figure it out tho. I’m guessing it doesn’t matter much because you may not print as tall of stuff, but wouldn’t that spot be hard if the extruder is above it?
