We hit a major milestone over the weekend πππΎπ€©We finally have a moving stepper motor! Itβs not fast or strong but there is lots of room for improvement.

Finally have QuineOS building and running on Pixel 4a and OnePlus5 phones, today lets see if we can get Klipper running the Sovol SV04 IDEX from these phones π§

Few weeks ago an issue was mentioned where the 60deg. thread angle pushed the plastic thread "ladder" away from the Z-screw. Back then this issue was patched up with a bracket and development could continue, but we knew this was not ideal. Today we have a solution! [Continues]

[Cont.1/1] The solution was to make the thread angle "negative". This way when the thread is loaded, the ladder and Z-screw attract rather than push themselves away.
By making the threads directional, printability is ensured, and the Infini-Z printer development can be continue!

Looks like QuineOS is getting a camera app π

Holy shit! that was easier than expected! Hardest part was when I hit my GPT-4 cap and had to figure the last tweaks out old school style with my brain π

The Infini-z is getting closer to the first print! There are still some challenges to overcome. Let us show some of the challenges we had with the Z-axis. [continued]

[cont.3] This could have been resolved by making a new type of thread profile that has a "negative" thread angle. This would pull the lader towards the screw, and it would solve the problem.
(Picture shows a positive thread angle)

[cont.4] Creating a new thread profile that is both printable and usable is a lot of work, so instead it was elected to simply make a bracket that keeps the ladder from bending. It also uses the same screw that is already holding the "barrel" in place!
