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

@BIRDzone for you too

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

It's not genuine is it?

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

vs a whole separate machine

also as for getting a laser module it's just a matter of simplicity
