RE: Tools: What do you recommend?

@charles-h13

I often use machine or hand reamers for precise reworking of bores, e.g. for guide shafts. I have all common diameters from 2 to 15mm in H7 design with cylindrical shank. Furthermore a drill set from 1 to 10mm in diameter interval of 0.1mm is very helpful. Inch diameter I have only the most common.

Thanks for the recommendation on the Wera Allen keys. I was struggling to adjust the hot end on my mini with a cheap set of keys, ordered a set of the Wera keys and had the job done in a minute, and no damage to the screws 🙂

I have to agree with that.  I bought a set and I am very happy.

You don't necessarily need it, but it's very practical for repairing and fixing 3d printed parts:

I've heard of these and seen them at the local makerspace, and never touched one, but have you (or has anyone) had any luck repairing a botched 3d print job with one of these?  Somebody here also recently suggested repairing prints with a soldering iron.

I would think that if a print was flawed to the extent that it needed either of the above, it's probably best to reprint.  Anyone have any experience?

@jsw

Repair in the sense that small optical defects, which can sometimes occur in 3D printing, can be fixed and the part does not necessarily have to be reprinted. I had bought the pen a long time before the 3D printer and now I use it very rarely. You can melt PLA, PETG and ABS with it.

For US customers, I recommend the following 3d pen.  I agree they are useful for repairs.  I could find the model you suggested on the US Amazon.

Have you already used the pen for repair work?
I use it from time to time to correct multi-material prints which require small optical corrections or to retouch small holes or other defects.

I do not know your linked ones, but I think they're pretty useful.

These knives here are very practical for removing support. They're not expensive either:

or this (mine) smaller set:

However one must work carefully, the blades are not suitable for heavy use!

RE: Tools: What do you recommend? (Wire Brush for Nozzle Cleaning)

Since the manual says to clean the nozzle before the Z calibration (and since a wire brush is not supplied with the printer!) I bought these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082PP5NBJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They work I suppose but it seems to me that the bristles are much longer than they need to be and that therefore it would be easy to do some unintended damage to things in the vicinity of the nozzle.  So are there wire brushes with much shorter bristles which are good for cleaning the nozzle?

Thanks,  Bob

After multiple concerns abotu brass brushes, I ordered bamboo nylon toothbrushes.  I can say that I am heppy with the results.

Here is what I've been using.  I use the brass and nylon for the printer.

I have those also.  I have found the nylon works very well.  I will still use brass, btu might swithc to bamboo nylon toothbrushes for most cleaning.

Ok, this is a tool / Jig you can print.  

I built a threaded insert heat stake from Adafruit.  I am printing with 3DXMAX Carbon X PETG.  This stuff is tough and printed very easily. 

This tool if over-engineered but it will allow you to use soldering iron tips to inset heat insert threaded more reliability with soldering iron tips like these.  I have struggled to get them straight at times.  This jig or tool makes straight inserts simple.

Another Adafruit fan I see.  😉

I guess I'm too lazy to do the nut inserts.  I'm in the habit of 3d printing bolt holes right in the plastic, such that a M2 or M3 or 6-32, depending on the project, will self-tap.
