Hey all, long time no see. SCotton, this is something I'm very interested in working on. Over the last year I built a 250 gallon reverse flow offset and am missing my automated control. I've had crappy results using fans and can't replicate the tight control I have on it just by sitting next to...

Just got back from vacation and will check on that 4L version tonight. If you need it faster, I'm pretty sure I already have it embedded in the main .dwg file in which case you can just save the stl version of that case if you have inventor fusion.

I moved to this stuff http://mutley3d.com/Buy-PrintBite/ stuck directly on my 1/4" thick aluminum heat bed. It's pretty amazing.

Hey all, I just wanted to apologize to anyone that has sent me messages and I haven't replied over the last 6 months or so. Life has gotten in the way of my hobbies and I've only superficially checked into the heatermeter boards for a while. I'm starting to get back into things and just got my...

You need these.

I feel your pain Bryan. I am still recovering from a similar incident. My printer has been down for months. I almost have it back up.

Very nice design. I really like the rack and pinion mechanism. I've been working on a milled aluminum attachment for my BGE that uses a sliding door, but the servo attachment was through a lever arm which I've never liked. Your idea is much better and is going to finally allow me to finish this...

Oh, I thought you were an engineer.

But how do the slopes and intercepts compare statistically?

WBegg, I love the test, nice work. My interpretation is a little different though. I would venture that a linear regression would demonstrate no statistically significant difference in those curves. Meaning that as far as dampers go, you can pretty much do what ever you want. But again, I love...

The barrel still suffers from some non-linearity when it comes to servo control. The reason it never really mattered is that I found out early in my testing of the damper that running the servo in on/off mode gave the most impressive results. As you've elegantly demonstrated, there can be large...

Hey Harry, most people use abs or pla, but there are many other types. The fins are indeed supports and pop out after printing. I usually print at 0.2 to 0.3 mm or about 10 mil thickness. The jack is designed for the hd tech brand cat5.

Harry, it's hard to say which one works best. Jas is correct in that the offset one has the most versatility and can operate within the widest temp range. However, for bbq'ing have had a lot of graphs look like WBegg's for both of them. This stuff isn't rocket science. Almost any contraption...

Ah, when you wrote 'welded a bead' I thought you meant some sort of soldering.

That's awesome. I've been toying with adding a gas powered generator to my trailer smoker but I think something like this will be perfect.

WBegg, correct me if I am wrong but going back to my days in the lab, my adviser always told me that the probe end of the thermocouple had to be spot welded because introducing another transition element into the mix will throw off the reading? Yours seem to match the resistance probes pretty...

Depending on what kamado you have, you may be able to find something like this: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00THO4J0C/tvwb-20

Looks delicious. Merry Christmas!

I'm not good with EE so I leave that stuff to others, but if someone could make the HM use a stepper I would be extremely happy. I have a couple of CNC'd aluminum sliding door damper designs that I would love to use with a threaded rod system as opposed to a servo/arm setup.

Exactly. For the dampers I've made, the valve is the limiting cross section. EDIT: To clarify the above statement. I don't want to do anything to decrease the valve CSA since it is always much smaller than my output CSA.
