Re: Giddy with anticipation
Thanks! Here's the layer fan shroud and Marvin. The shroud came out fine enough, but Marvin's a little rough. Any thoughts on how to adjust for the various anomalies/artifacts? I'll recalibrate tonight, but what other things should I look at right off the bat? Are these symptomatic of the quality of ...

Re: Giddy with anticipation
Huzzah for little mistakes! I simply hadn't sanded the body of the PEEK fan down enough. Popped it out of the shroud and it spun right up. Hit it a bit more with the 100-grit and I'm good to go.

Re: Giddy with anticipation
Cool, I can deal with that. Thanks for the info.
First problem: the PEEK fan isn't running. Light's on for HEAT_1 once the extruder is up to temp, but no joy. Pulling out the multimeter tomorrow to start looking for the problem..

Re: Giddy with anticipation
PEEK shroud complete!
Looks pretty nice, overall. Is that over-extrusion under the post clips?

Re: Giddy with anticipation
This is clearly the coolest thing I've built in the last year.
Build complete. It works. I'm printing the PEEK fan shroud.

Re: Giddy with anticipation
lol 
Just got the bed all soldered up! Finished getting the top plate of the bottom all secured last night, too (after making one of the motor assemblies backwards and redoing it).
Promised the lady that she'd actually be able to wall across that room by tomorrow night.

I felt pretty happy with my two-foot-tall tower of tape.

Re: Giddy with anticipation
Not only will you get your alone time, there will be an awesome bonfire smell that you'll hate at first but then grow to miss when it's gone. Holy cow, what a smell. It reminds me a little bit of smoked oysters... or Lagavulin... both of which made me hungry. Got through my cataloging of the parts ...

Re: Giddy with anticipation
Thanks all! I've read the manual start-to-finish three times, and spot-read a few sections more than that. (I'm excited) Very much looking forward to the build. I intentionally bought a kit as my first printer to better ensure I understand what I'm working with. Already took the opportunity to ...

Giddy with anticipation
I just got the shipping notification for my Rostock kit and I'm overwhelmed with excitement. I can't wait to neglect my fiancee and lay claim to an entire room of the house while I build it.
This is my first printer. A buddy asked me what I was going to use it for and I said, "Fun."
