Hi all,
For anybody intersted, here is a novel approach we took for making a nose cone using the 4X-23 in the 3-axis mode of winding. The G-code edits are simple linear feedrate and delivery head changes used to alter the filament deposition rate about the mandrel as it rotated at a constant RPM.
The result was a one-to-one filament delivery across the entire length of the tool. We are excited to try it out with more exotic profiles, like Von Karmen and cubic ones!
Provided below is a segment of the code used, with the alterations highlighted in green (disregard some of the comments in the code).
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Nick
