Tio Don's 3d Printer Fails
First trial runWatch as the print nozzle crashes into the bed and starts ripping up the blue tape. The blue tape is there for the plastic to stick to and still allow for removing it.
Groovy!Here you can see that the nozzle actually cut grooves in the print bed. I guess it's a computerized engraving machine!
A little better...Starting to get some of the calibrations dialed In. It sure is making a lot of noise, though!
Smoothing things outStarting to get pretty good coverage, You can see where it's not quite filling in the layers, but we're getting there.
Printing a Calibration objectThis cube printed exactly 20mm, so the x,y and z steps are calibrated correctly. We're working on the acceleration and other parameters next.
Casper's Shark CombThis is Casper's favorite comb now. You can see where it is still oozing filament here and there, but it still came out usable.
