Keywords

💡Nevermore V6 Duo

The Nevermore V6 Duo is a modification (mod) for 3D printers that the speaker uses in all their machines. It is an upgrade from the previous V5 model. The mod is designed to improve the efficiency of the printer by heating the chamber more quickly and providing better air circulation. In the video, the speaker discusses how to assemble the mod and its benefits for enclosed printer setups.

💡Enclosed printer

An enclosed printer refers to a 3D printer that is housed within a case or a chamber. This type of setup is often used to improve print quality and safety, especially when printing with materials that emit fumes, like ABS. The Nevermore V6 Duo mod is particularly beneficial for enclosed printers as it aids in temperature regulation and air circulation.

💡Chamber temperature

Chamber temperature refers to the temperature inside the enclosed space of a 3D printer. Maintaining an appropriate chamber temperature is crucial for successful 3D printing, especially with materials like ABS that are sensitive to temperature. The Nevermore V6 Duo mod helps to increase the chamber temperature more quickly, which is one of the reasons it is recommended for use with enclosed printers.

💡Carbon filtration

Carbon filtration is a method used to remove harmful fumes and odors from the air. In the context of 3D printing, it is essential when printing with materials like ABS, which can produce unpleasant and potentially harmful fumes. The Nevermore V6 Duo includes a spot for a carbon filter, which is a critical feature for the speaker when printing with ABS.

💡GitHub page

The GitHub page mentioned in the video is a repository where the files for the Nevermore V6 Duo mod can be found and downloaded. GitHub is a platform commonly used by developers and creators to share and collaborate on projects. The speaker directs viewers to the Nevermore micro GitHub page to access the necessary STL files for 3D printing the mod components.

💡STL files

STL files are standard file formats for 3D printing that contain geometric data used to create 3D models. In the video, the speaker instructs viewers to download the STL files for the Nevermore V6 Duo from the GitHub page. These files are then sliced using 3D slicing software and printed on a 3D printer to create the mod's components.

💡Slicing

Slicing is the process of converting a 3D model into a series of layers that a 3D printer can understand and print. The term is used in the video when the speaker talks about preparing the downloaded STL files for printing. Slicing software divides the model into layers, generates the necessary instructions, and allows for customization of print settings.

💡Supports

Supports in 3D printing are additional structures that are printed alongside the main model to provide stability during the printing process, especially for overhanging parts. The video script mentions that the Nevermore V6 Duo mod has built-in supports, which makes the printing process easier as they do not require additional supports to be manually added.

💡Soldering

Soldering is a process used to join electrical components, such as wires, by melting a filler metal (solder) into the joint. In the context of the video, soldering is a step in the assembly of the Nevermore V6 Duo mod where electrical connections are made to enable the functioning of the fan and other electronic components.

💡Heat gun

A heat gun is a tool that blows hot air and is used for various purposes, including softening materials for easier assembly or removal. In the video, the speaker uses a heat gun to help slide the components of the mod into place, particularly the slider door, which can be difficult to fit without the aid of heat.

💡Bench test

A bench test is a test conducted on a workbench or a similar stationary location to verify the functionality of a device before it is installed or used in a more complex system. The speaker performs a bench test on the assembled Nevermore V6 Duo mod to ensure it operates correctly before integrating it with the 3D printer.
