I threw a plate of four temp strut plates on it, and watched the printer complete the first two plates first layer which looked good as usual. I didn’t do my customary wait for the full first layer before diverting attention.
Snot ball and looks like the first two parts first layers were the only successful part of the print.
I’d already pulled off the hot snotball when I thought to take a picture.
For the close observer, I don’t think I can blame this on Prusa. Note the white residue. Look carefully at the snotball remnants and you’ll see this filament appears to be the notorious “Chinese white crap surrounded by colored PLA”
Looks like 'yall are going to get a Colorado experience. Sunny and nice today, snow in Loveland on Friday, overnight freeze and then back to nice for the weekend
@barry99705, did they give you a new flight or details?
Bummed I probably won’t get to hang out at RMRRF this year. Weather’s not looking fun to drive from WA, and, my Mum recently agreed to visit from UK and do a NE coast road trip after my kid’s graduation. Not sure if/when I’ll have that opportunity again… Still hopeful about visiting OpenSauce or similar event this year, will see…
Yes, Saturday and Sunday. We’ll be setting up tomorrow so should have some pictures of that. It’ll start with us unloading in what is forecast to be a cool and light snow morning.
I’m late to this show, but given the challenges we are facing, I wanted to throw this out there. Maybe something will help.
I know that Jackpot is the latest greatest for the LR4, but, if “push comes to shove", can bring my LR4, powered by the SKR 1.3. It’s 42”, so close to the target. Might have to tweak a couple of things like the dust collection but I can recover afterwards.
Second, if someone’s can provide a dxf for the strut plate that you need and tell me the material (probably not acrylic, as I have no experience with that), I should be able to cut it. My work space is 42” x 72”.
I think we have some black table covers. Probably 6’ long, if that’s a problem. I also have adjustable saw horses.
As for other fabrications, the LR4 should be fully functional through the weekend. The Primo will go offline tomorrow about noon, but that could be adjusted if we need to. It will come to the show and runs on the Jackpot with FluidTouch. I’m trying to get a few minutes to print a pen to fit the Kobalt holder.
Having said all that, as usual, I’ve got plenty to do getting ready, but if I can help, some one just needs to let me know. Everything has some amount of flexibility.
