Does anyone have pictures of it installed? I have the servo motor that Bill had posted but there are two parts in the 3d print file that are not in the bag that came with the servo and I am not sure if those also need to be printed. I also would just like to see how to put it together or even a video of it being put together would be great as well.
@Trent B. Is there anything that attaches the clippy mount to the printhead?
Thank you very much for sharing. It's a good looking file. Nice work. How do you like your Autoclippy setup? Working okay? Reliable?
@Trent B. Hello. Would you mind sharing your mount? I also have the micro swiss NG setup. Thank you so much
Yeah one day I'll get to it. Maybe next weekend.
With regard to those control arms in Bills Tinker cad. It could be my printer is way off but for me those items do not come even close to a good fit to the servo gear. If you bought the same servo Bill pointed out it should come with several options of arms. The 4 way should work just remove the extra 3.
Thank you!
Here is a photo I took before mounting mine. The angle is not great, but the tip of the cutter hook is more or less aligned with the edge of the servo mount. Here it looks off about 1/8", but it is the camera angle that makes it look that way. My mount is heavily modified to fit over a Micro Swiss NG extruder, so it looks different.
As Bill noted in his instructions, be sure to move the servo using the switch several times by holding it down to load filament (no need to have filament actually in). When the cutter finishes, it moves to it's most outward position. You can then insert the blade holder first, then set in the servo horn that you've cut off the three arms from, and screw it down. Then give a few more tries to make sure it is moving in and out as expected. I'd suggest putting a scrap of filament to test the cutting.
Ignore those pieces... Use the 4 way arm and cut 3 of the arms off of it. Is the perfect size.
