Minor update

Well, needless to say I have been a little preoccupied since my last post.
Alot has happened and I have not had very much time to post about progress.

Currently the printer is running, and I have had some good practice printing in PLA and ABS materials.

I have however, run into some stumbling blocks that could be down to my my poor fabrication skills, or due to my lack of research (something i will go into in more detail in future posts.)

for now I leave you with a montage of images of work I have done in over the last month or so.

"First Drawing"

"A little bit more accuracy"

"Extruder designed in OpenSCAD and printed on ply wood"

"Roughly cut out :s "

"Hot End holder traced on Ply and Cut"

"Waiting to be drilled and cut to take the hot end"

"Extruder Assembled.... sort of"

"It Works.... First Print"

"Quick... Print some replacements before it all falls apart!"

"Thats Better!"

"First Stress test. Skull next to my Fitbit for scale"

"Not Bad for a first go"

"First fix. broke a pulley in my food mixer (left) OpenSCAD replacement (right). And best of all. it works :D"

"Larger Skull (5hr Print time"

Replacement rod ends in ABS

"Ginger bread house cookie cutters. much fun was had with the kids :)"

"Decided to be lazy and print these so I don't have to tie my shoes :)" 

Until next time........
