Sunlu S1 Mod - Preliminary design and test print

3D Printing + Sunlu S1 Mod

This is a work in progress. This is going to be a modification of the Sunlu S1, based on the 'Turbo Mod MK2'.

I'm currently printing a prototype using PLA, just to make sure I got all dimensions etc. right, and I still have to design some air valves.

Sunlu S1 Mod - Second (more challenging) ABS print on my Bambu X1C

I'm trying to mod my Sunlu S1 with a design of my own, which also offers me a challenge to better understand Fusion 360, the Bambu X1C, and printing in ABS. And if it all works out I should end up with an enhanced filament dryer, so win-win.

If it works...

Peltier filament droger concept - Gebruik de warmte EN de koude om filament te drogen (Dutch)

Een idee wat ik heb, maar geen idee of het gaat werken...

Gebruik de WARMTE van een Peltier element om het filament te verwarmen, en de KOUDE om de lucht te ontvochtigen.

Sunlu S1 Mod - First (real) ABS print on my Bambu X1C / Jupiter ABS Filament settings

Time to go to bed, but first share an image of the bottom section, this time printed in ABS. The first attempt warped a bit, but the second try was a lot better.

Old (PLA) filament - What to do with it?

My Sunlu S1 mods have been partially successful, and I guess I'll have to consider a DIY solution using Peltiers to move to the next level... Though that one is still in the 'idea phase' 😇

Next challenge / experiment: what to do with old filament, and how to make sure it will last longer?
