I love converting a gas engine, to a DC motor, to an AC inverter, back to an AC to DC power supply.

[@PeterGrant]

I suspect the AC to DC power supply is probably switch mode, so will have recified the AC to DC to chop up into a different AC waveform. It may well have just accepted 110v DC quite happily.

[@oniontaylor]

I was just thinking of removing the AC to DC power supply, and replacing with a 12v or 24v regulator to step down the original output of treadmill motor

[@covertpluto]

You got to go further than that, the dc then gets turned into ac to get stepped up/down, rectify to dc, fed into motor drivers that turn it back to ac (well kinda) for the motors

[@criticalevent]

I love that you bought a motor that costs the same as a generator and then made a worse generator out of it.

[@AkirIkasu]

They also used an inverter to turn the DC power into AC to feed a power supply that turns AC into DC. Efficiency was not a goal of this project.

The funny thing is, if that genset can generate 100-plus volts, then it can easily power 3D printer without any inverter, since modern power supplies have a huge input range and convert AC into DC internally anyways.

[@JamesRowlandsRocks]

Does that mean you can just push DC into them and it'll still make good DC? Asking for an off grid setup.

[@x_ph1l]

@@JamesRowlandsRocks exactly! Except, DC value should be a bit higher than AC value. About 1.44 times higher

[@patrioticbastard5935]

I use mine off grid. We have 12x 100 watt solar panels 6 wired series, 6 wired series, then both arrays wired parallel. These go thru an 85 amp charge controller to 500Ah of lipo 4 batteries, this runs a 2kw inverter. I run my ender 3 on it all day and still stay in float charge..

[@eDoc2020]

I came here to say the same thing.

[@eDoc2020]

@@JamesRowlandsRocks Yup, a typical modern supply rated for wide range 100-240vac input can be fed with anywhere from 100-400vdc and still work fine, although obviously you want to avoid the extremes of the range. 130-370 VDC should be safer. There are more safety considerations because switches and fuses may not properly interrupt high voltage DC so be careful.

Famous Last Word " Just because u could, doesn't mean u should"

[@darekmario446]

Next time just skip the 12V power supply and connect the 12V from a motor over a Capacitor bank directly to the printer wires. I'm not sure if this would work but it's a try :D No need to produce 12V from Motor, to scale it up with 12V to 110V and the power supply just scales it down to 12V (Or 24V) Thanks for you Vid

[@eDoc2020]

That won't work too well because of the lack of regulation. A better option is to connect the 130vdc output from the original pulley directly to the AC input of the 3D printer. Most modern power supplies (except cheap ones with a voltage selection switch) will run just fine from around 100-400VDC.

[@PhattyMo]

80-130Vdc? It sure would be nice if most modern switch mode power supplies (like the one in your 3D printer) could deal with such a range of input voltages,AC or DC,then you wouldn't need an inverter at all. Oh,wait.. Now you know!

Just get an electrical student to build you a microcontroller to be able to control a solenoid based on the variables from the Ender

[@magnusnord8353]

Very impressive, amazing work

[@daretodreamtofly3288]

You had a chance to make things so much more. By taking the 100ish volts through a capacitor bank to stabilize then into a highter voltage diac or similar device into a home made transformer. Noting that 100vdc would give you about 67-70 vAC. Alternatively to the home made transform you could have gone through a variac. Up to the 110 - 120 vac and powering the printer. But that's not half as fun as what it would have been to see the linkage and clutch thing you'd have built if removing all that and just had the controller operating the solenoids to the clutches and it all running off a battery bank. Lol

Explain to me please why the fuck would you use dodgy 12VDC to 120VAC inverter connected to an inverter in a 3d printer that STEPS DOWN the 120VAC to 24VDC? I presume it is because the efficiency would be too high otherwise, and you want to burn more of that freedom juice: OIL. And get a most inefficient, quirky and dodgy solution to a problem that does not exist. Excellent behaviour!

[@PixlRainbow]

Also that they had a problem with their motor generating voltage too close to 120V at first so they geared down the engine until it ran at 12V

[@itsekrosenbaum2845]

@@PixlRainbow precisely. I presume though, that the whatever generator they used was DC instead of AC.

[@jerrygaguru]

You should have put a car batteries in the middle, put the engine charge the battery and then do your conversion from the stable batteries to run the printer. But with all electronics and converters laying in boxes in most peoples storage areas, there are literally hundreds you could’ve done this with the same or better results. to buy and store propane generators that pick up for under $200. I’ve got one I’ve had for 12 years. That’s never let me down 4000 W for weeks at a time off propane 20 pound tank runs it for 12 hours. There’s a hurricane the easiest thing to find it doesn’t require electricity. To pump is propane. Currently, I’ve got 130,000 W propane generator for the whole house now.

[@Advil1024]

The 130 volts out from the treadmill motor was already AC.. Why did you need the inverter at all?

[@ElukeNL]

So what is the input voltage range on the printers powersupply? (It would not be strange if it was something like 80-250VAC if it is supposed to work in both 110V and 240V countries. Also, it will surely accept DC input as well. So then you would not have needed the inverter or even all the different pulleys. Perhaps it would even ‘just work’ with the no-load voltage somewhere near the maximum and just hope it does not sag below minimum under max load) Also, I’m kinda jealous of your oscilloscope and multimeter. In the sense that I wish I had those, not in the way that I would like to be treated like you treat them. Most definitely not XD.

[@gv100_blitz]

If you know the ratio of pulley sizes difference to voltage couldn’t u do some finger math to get 12v?

[@sdspivey]

All electronics run on DC, so you would be better off skipping the inverter and the printer's internal rectifier.

[@therealchayd]

Based on experience, I *think* a lot of small gas engines have a governor to maintain a set speed, so you just need to tweak that to maintain the revs under varying loads, thus negating the need to have Dan manually doing the speed regulation (If it does have one, it's usually a long-ish lever thing coming out the crankcase and connecting to the carb via a linkage and spring). Excellent and hilarious video btw.

I'm disappointed. I expected the motors 5o be replaced by belts driven directly from the generator.... no electricity... hot end heated directly from gas exhaust etc

[@ScottLahteine]

That was fun! There must be a bunch of very eccentric ways to generate the 12V @ 15A needed to drive the printer. For example, we could use a bunch of old 12V stepper motors attached to a bicycle as a generator, regulating the current with a moped battery…. Maybe a gravity powered generator could do the trick for shorter print jobs….

[@haulngrassracing]

If I remember correctly the Enders ran off of 24v dc so I would remove the inverter and just run everything off of 24v

[@firefox1136]

noooooo, why use an inverter if your motor already outputs ~120v? If it was AC you could have just fed it into the printer and if it was DC You should also have been fine. If not you could have just opend the switch mode psu of the printer and inject your DC voltage directly into the primary side. It's a bit more dangerous but it should have worked soooo much better.

[@AlexTheStampede]

Ok, idea… an obvious evolution if you will: same thing again but with a Bamboo Labs printer + ams, on a platform with wheels powered by the engine, and with the 3d printed toilet so the ams can go pooping around.
