New corners for V slot to V slot work!

Boom!!! I’m waiting for a couple parts to arrive and I can finish this printer. I have to print the redone V to T slot parts and then I can finish my rebuild of my MK3 bear into a MK3s bear!

Linear Rail Update

I have the BOM written BUT... I was sad at the expense of the aluminum corner brackets. Thanks to Vecko we have the first test for printed corner brackets in both a V slot to V slot and V slot to T...

I built a prusa!

My buddy Dan bribed me with 3D printer parts so I’d help build his new MK3s. Printed in Aromic CF Nylon and upgraded with sexy things like the Vecko X axis, Adjustable Y axis, better Z axis it’...

The BTT002 has arrived

The long road from China to Illinois. The Biqu BTT002 is a 32 bit einsy replacement with removable drivers. Here we have the TMC2209 drivers which are basically my favorite besides the TMC5160’s....

More progress with the linear rails.

Thanks again to mad cad man Vecko who whipped up a set of physical end stops so the printer will pass self test.

The MK3/s uses a technique of ramming the furthest points in order to test ax...

The bane of CF material

Clogs.

When you get heavily packed CF material sometimes you’ll get patches or clumps of CF that just won’t extrude. I’ve had every brand I’ve used heavily have this happen. Mind you...

Upgrades!

I have a bunch of printer maintenance to do including upgrading my MK3 bear to a MK3s which means this little guy will come in handy.

I have a few MK3 Bondtech extruders but haven’t used t...

More magic from Vecko!

I didn’t even ask but he’s designed rail stops so it passes self test. Gonna print these and give them a try ASAP. 🥰

It’s almost ready!

The magic cad skills of Vecko paid off. First test was a perfect fit and oh goodness is it smooth and has absolutely no play. None. Not a wiggle.

I’ll try and have this assembled and ready...

Linear rail progress

Soooooo I was using the files from Olof who made the design for his Mk2s. Sadly the carriages are not the same and even though Stephen Armstrong redid the parts to fit the regular sized linear rail...

Who’s getting a Mini?

Just a heads up I did order one day one and as soon as the ordering window opened so hopefully I get a November unit to test and work some profile magic with but until then who else here got one???...

Not all CF PETG are alike.

Top we have my all time favorite, a 9.5/10 material, Atomic CF PETG. Why do I like it so much?? It prints way better than regular Petg. Strings less, layering is beautiful, definition is still very...

This is making me excited.

Ugh. My love hate of nylon but it looks so ready to print. Need to adjust my duet prusa a bit before I start but my Garolite sheet is ready.

These new spools btw. So sexy.

Testing some new CF PETG

I got a spool a few months back from Filament One and it’s their new CF PETG.

So far it’s printing really well but definitely a few adjustments were made over my other profiles. Mostly f...

Linear rail coming soon...

Thanks to Stephen Armstrong I have the files by Olof edited for MGN12H bearings.

I have to say after 2 months of no printing and getting work done it feels good to just boot up my prusa and ...

Going live with White Knight

Tonight at 6pm Central I'll be live with Carl from White Knight talking about the open source belt printer aka the White Knight! Come hang out for a while as we chat about printing and stuff. ...

Rails on the purple bear!

Jason from LDO nailed it. I’m using Olof’s LDO linear rail mod and I’m upgrading one black bear and decided I couldn’t but black 2020 on the purple frame.

The Duet Prusa Files

If you’re crazy like me then you’re looking for these files. I’ve saved the entire batch so you can look through them and see all the settings and what nots that make it work.

No filam...

A new contender.

Filament One just launched a new nozzle to beat the ruby. They ar eat I’ll perfecting the lip as you can see but it won’t affect overal printing.

What they’ve done is instead of the ha...

What we learned.

I disassembled Aaron’s hotend on live stream and I learned a lot.

1. Based on general assembly guidelines of a stock e3dv6 the nozzle was between 0.40-0.45mm away from the heat block. 0.30...

MK3s Jamming Hotend teardown!

Thank you to all you lovely Patrons I bought a jammed hotend from Aaron Oaks and will take it apart analyzing all the issues I see and trying to figure out why this keeps happening. Join the fun an...

Going live tonight around 5-6pm Central

Yesterday I took a personal day and just hung out with the lady and had dinner with her and some friends. Went to bed early and slept in today.

Now that’s what I call refreshing and well n...

Update time!

Ugh, I'm always saying sorry and always trying to get caught up so I can share more and post more but I always fall behind. For that, I'm sorry.

I was going to live stream today BUT I can't ...

Something for me!

Finally got myself another Bear frame today. All3d makers for the win and the purple color is intense.

I have 2 stock frame MK3 printers left and I can either 1. Build a custom MK3 or 2. Reb...

Cool new things!

After fruitlessly trying to find a great linear bearing under $10 USD it's time to move another direction.

Sadly there just aren't any good bearings out there for the price I'm willing to c...

It’s alive!

If you’ve missed it I’m in a local Maker Space and have spent the last few months donating all the parts and the time to teach those interested in building a 3D printer from scratch how to do j...
