It's nothing to brag about, really, I'm just stoked that I have the bed and cura settings dialed in (finally!) that I have no flaws on my grid prints.

it's the little things, you know?

Awesome! It's always an amazing feeling when you finally get things dialed in just right. Congrats!

Print yourself some chainmail, it's super fun to play with!

My kids would love that! I might have to tackle that next.

but will it save my life in a sword fight?

[–] Flaky_Fish69@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

No, but print enough of it and you can be an extra on the simarillion if anyone finally figured out how to get it done.

Just not Peter Jackson. I’m still salty about that blasphemy.

The honeycomb storage wall. I won't lie - I'm pretty excited to clean up/organize my maker space with all the remixes. This community is amazing.

Wow, that is so cool. Thanks for the link.

Man that's such a good feeling. But for me it never lasts too long haha. I guess that's what you get for buying a 100$ printer and ship of theseusing it.

definitely - this thing is a Frankenender at this point. upgraded springs, bed, extruder, dual z-axis, mainboard upgrade, ABL, etc etc.

I probably would have a better printer if I had sat down earlier and priced it all out for a comparison, but I definitely have a solid grasp on the fundamentals and could build one in my sleep at this point from going down this path. 😄
