Ambient Control for 3D printers

Control ambient temperature in 3D printer enclosurs, and dry filament with waist heat.

This is for a learning/hobby building project to do precise temperature control in my 3D printed enclosure, while also using the (waste) heat to dry filament storage above.

​

The project was elaborate as I did all the different elements myself :

  • Setup project administration and PID.

  • Design the solution Conceptual, Functional and Technical designs.

  • Design all the 3D elements and 3D print or CNC them.

  • Design electronics and CNC my own pcb.

  • Design software requirements and build it in C++

  • Combine everything together and test and document improvements.

​

The setup I'm building uses just cheap continues rotating servo's and does end stop recognition by sensing changing current draw if servo is stalling.
