Booom!

Just lying on my desk not connected to anything, blew some paper onto the floor and emptied some of its contents across the screen of a iMac six feet away. The rest only blocked by some boxes a further four feet distant. Glad I wasn’t in the room at the time. I can only assume it got to hot although it was not in direct sunlight.

Wood!

Yea you heard right!

Today I am printing in wood. Yes. Wood. Wood, you know from a tree.

And my standard reference cube in wood.

By varying the temperature during the print you can give it layers.

More wood coming up 🙂

Just When You Have It Right

Just as things are going well and you think you have the printer set up well enough to leave it alone, is when it wont play nice.

Started quite a long print job and left it running to come back hours later to this.

Some part job didn’t adhere to the bed and came lose knocking everything else about and finally falling off.

So tried again

This time filament jammed about an hour in.

So print test cube to check but whilst clearing the last job knocked off the belt for the bed allowing it to only feed in one direction.
