I have used the EMAX ES9256 in the past which is very similar except the wires come out of the bottom of the case. But a quick look round seems to show that is on back order even at Servo Shop where I have bought them in the past.

Here was my original gripper with just a thin piano wire push rod bent into a curve to allow it to flex rather than stall the servo. https://oxrooq.db.files.1drv.com/y4mqSx4NEcg7eCUnOVWdWJ0wYiB90b1PeH7_FJ7SPZREoyw9d_RDiZlzZPOVIgjJPhRDjoD3CFlf-6Gvc08SHL8FkM9YKHnZ5WQeltOIsPil470g4JKfv8wDWXQxorLYgYY7PJ...

It is never good to have a servo stalled for any great period it is better to introduce some kind of spring tension into the mechanism so the servo can reach its end stop even when the gripper arms cannot meet as below.

I just ordered a couple of those for my Fleaweight.
You have to order them from the European section as the UK are not open due to Government restrictions.

Glad to hear I am not the only one using AVR assembler.

Great event thanks to all who helped organise it.

As long as our flipper is set so throttle stick forward is down and back is flip you can use the throttle cut button. Go down the menu to setup list then down the setup list to throttle cut and set position to act it should work. It is not the best positioned button so I have on one of mine replaced...

All nozzles are metal it is just that some have a small PTFE tube just above them to guide the filament through and act as a heat break. PTFE can usually go up to around 245 / 250 although it does deteriorate a bit and needs regular replacement at those temperatures. I have found all metal heads are...

Filament comes in two sizes 1.75 mm (most common) and 2.85 mm and this is the diameter of the filament on the reel. The nozzle size is the diameter of the hole the melted filament comes out off normally 0.4 mm although you can get various other sizes. By telling the slicer these two values it knows ...

Its a power switch so you can plug the battery directly into the board and save some more wiring.
