3d Printer arrived, assembled, tested. A little bit of adjustments (the z-axis wasn’t aligned properly), and another print. And after several hours of watching the machine run, I have my first completed and solid model. Was a bit of a surprise that it turned out the be an elephant (the sample models were unlabeled), but cute either way. The next morning, the printer was installed in its long term home, and after a bit of additional fine tuning, I have started on the first real project – creating an addon that adds leveling feet to the metal case and a support beam for the z-axis, to avoid it going out of alignment in the future.
This requires several different printing jobs, so will likely end up taking a few days to print the parts, but I hope by the end of the week to have all the pieces necessary. From there, I can start in on the rapidly growing list of desired projects and fun builds.
