    Getting very close.

    First off today I fixed my software errors from yesterday. Also made a mm profile so I can play with speeds on some kind of level ground with other printers.

    I got the plugs installed and the rest of the wiring done the other night. SSRDs need to be wired very specifically.

    Then today I built a ball bearing filament spool holder. I used on of Ahren's plates again and drilled and tapped it for some 3/8-16 all thread. Also cut some T bushings for the filament spool. Each side had a different size hole. I used some V bearings I had laying around. I test fit the setup then took the cups off and primed and painted the MDF. Used the hammered black.













    Then I prepped the machine and warmed it up.





    Still have a lot to play with but it is extruding!

    Looks great. Have you printed anything yet? Curious to see how it all works out.
