can't see, is that a printer or a cnc?
printer
the chimera with the nice mounting plate finally got here
and the auto level sensor but tbh i'll have to redo the whole bed to make this sensor work so i'll probably not even bother for a while
Did you ever finish your fume hood?
nah, i've mostly switched back to pla so haven't bothered
>supporting the corn jew
>genetically engineered corn used to produce renewable biodegradeable thermoplastics
sounds good to me tbh
@Sapharanth ye it was on ebay lemme pull it up
tbh I love everything about the watch
or, I would if my first one wouldnt have started losing time
extra free battery
for use in 10 years
Not really renewable as mass monoculture is almost entirely dependant on aquifer irrigation and petroleum fertilizers
@Windatica i dont think they are giving you the best batteries to begin with
@johnfrum more renewable than most thermoplastics since they're mostly made from petroleum and can only be recycled a handful of times before they're essentially useless
@Julian Ah, I'd get it locally though I think, same price
I think it is
its just a cheap watch
nothing to chink really
f91w is $8
hmm
@Kaytee Nice printer
incomplete printer, hopefully will be nice when i'm done
might not even keep the wanhao frame, i've seen a few people replace it with 3030 extrusion with good results
seen one that's like a beefier taz 6, might try that
Going to weld it?
nah, i wanna be able to take it apart, just gonna go for big bolts
or maybe just Many normal m4 bolts
so i can just use the extrusion normally instead of drilling holes in it
Ah, forgot this is a 3D printer
Not like extrusion is expensive, I'd drill it
also, this carriage plate makes it pretty easy to swap toolheads around... might make a laser head for it too
looks like it'd be pretty easy to stick one of those 15W laser modules on it, still not enough to call it a proper laser cutter but it'll cut more than those dinky 500mW toys will
Feel laser devolopment has been held back due to reactionary regulation of them.
Are parts regulated or is it something you cant assemble yourself?
i mean i could get a 60W laser easily enough, way more if i wanna dump money into it it's just a matter of size and weight to put on a 3d printer
