Seed Eco-Home 2 Review

  • Needs seamless install of walls
  • Insulation + flexibly vinyl flashing made it hard to see clear location for first story walls
  • Poka-yoke is required for alignment of second story walls
    • Both first and second story walls are not self-aligning
  • Bob Berkebile suggested moving away from T1-11 siding which, lasts only 20 years
    • Lifetime of cement board is 50 years and thus qualifies for OSE lifetime design
      • board weighs 79 pounds (36 kg)
      • cf. OSE Wiki
    • However, this requires use of OSB underneath to provide shear
  • Adjustment panels were a major pain point

  • Think DIY Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs): hybrid of stick + SIP
  • Self aligning on bottom and top just like SIPs
  • See CAD
  • See BOM
  • Taper insulation:

  • Think DIY Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs): hybrid of stick + SIP
  • Self aligning on bottom and top just like SIPs
    • underlying assumption: OSB is pretty uniform
    • 2x4’s may be warped -> screwing them together straightens them out

Calibration

OSE Calib File

  1. Square in the XY Plane - test print for square?
    1. Cube and measure sizes
  2. Perpendicular in the Z Direction
  3. About overhangs - with 1.2 nozzle, 0.4 layer height
    • slow-moving printhead, good cooling

30 degrees should be feasible

Calibration - 0.2 layer height

  • About overhangs - with 1.2 nozzle, 0.2 layer height
  • 10-20 degrees should be fesible
    • What is the reality? - test the limit...
