I thought I had sliced this for 10 minutes.. 8:43. Oh well.. Looking for perfect benchy in 10. Thought I would post this to show what it does in this time.
Recently added a logic level converter to get 5V to the CPAP motor for 20% more rotational speed. Works pretty well! Not full 5V, but close! Works from 20%-98% of full speed.
Bow needs more air and the acceleration is a bit high for this machine.
*I did lower the valves a bit and printed another. Came out the same. It might be the nozzle orifice lofts are interfering with the valve air, but that seems the case here.
VaLvNaToR duct only, no side cooling. Flat surface above the nozzle orifices is to try and keep the air under it, to force it out further to the left/right/front/back.
