• The replacement fan arrived on time, was a simple install, and quite happily appears to have solved my latest issues.  Heat creep no longer appears to be a problem – the extruder motor is comfortably cool, and after a quick re-leveling of the bed, the printer is functional again.  I am re-running a larger print […]

  • My earlier post regarding the all-metal hotend was a bit premature.  In truth, the metal hotend and parts are working great.  In some ways, perhaps a bit too great.  As a result, I have been getting what I have concluded to be a lot of heat-creep into the extruder motor itself.  I have tried a […]

  • At the end of the prior session, the group had been attacked by a Wendigo, and faced off with a pair of cursed undead brothers, fighting each other in a supernatural war of dominance.  This session started with the conclusion of that conflict, which was looking rather touch and go.  The ghosts, each fighting for […]

  • Received and managed to install the new Micro Swiss All-Metal Hotend for my 3d printer, an effort which was relatively simple.  Most of the challenge was really just managing the tiny screws that hold the printer together, and rewiring everything back in the correct place.  The included URL from the vendor provided up to date […]

  • Spent the weekend working on a project for the living room, crafting a coffee table and crafting workstation for the wife.  Definitely not heirloom quality furniture, but functional and very sturdy.  It still needs a bit more work – the top needs to be sanded, painted and actually attached, but it is otherwise complete. Total […]

  • As I have been getting further and further into 3d printing, I have been experimenting with a number of different colors and brands of filament.  In general, I have not found much significant different in quality for PLA between options, but for consistency, I have been tending towards the same ones each time.  If curious, […]

  • I have been tasked by the wife to build a coffee table/work station for the living room, to accommodate her various crafting efforts.  Now that we no longer have a large Labrador, we have the space (and less loose hair), and she is ready to have a larger surface to work on projects.  As a […]

  • Just a side note to help explain some of the links and ads on the page you may see at different times.  Ultimately, this website may potentially pay for itself, though at this point that is not the case.  However, if you spot links to items I either reference, review, or recommend, they will frequently […]
