/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Dear diary;
After strapping a jet engine sounding fan to the new extruder, and it still getting phenomenally hot. Then I realised I had forgot to set its VREF. Every motor iv'e ever used has been a 2A nema17. This poor little bugger is 1A
So after rectifying that I switched out the fan for a less screamy one, and everything is cool daddy-o.
Also; roll #1/10 of the green PETG
Fuck me its a garish colour. I just remembered why grey is so good, you can print anything and the colour isn't really a factor. I was about to reprint the boobs model I stick to the front of my printer at a finer layer height - BECASUE ITS TITS - but the green made me opt for mechanical tweaks to the newly installed cable chain instead.
I dont think I have ever printed my NTCutter-blade-using scraperin PETG before. Feels good man.
Not that I ever need to use it on this new bed coating. Maybe with bigger base area prints.
Also calibration shims. Because my probe isnt being registered by the board, for no apparent reason, and layer height is currently in 'whateeeevvveeeer' mode. So I may as well print shit i can a) check im producing the layer height I think I am, and B use to drop my future probes onto before tightening them, and know their approximate actual elevation.
PS: the 0.5,1, and 2mm FR4 I ordered after anons suggestion, arrived. I have already been lightly glass splintered as a forewarning to file the edges.
