Day 4.5
Printing!
Learning the software
Printing a 1x1x1 cube
I helped very little. Mostly with debug and the software.
Looking pretty good.
Success makes us happy, happy, happy!
Day 5
Tweaking the printer
We still haven't super dialed in the printer, but with a few minor tweaks, we were getting results good enough for our MendleMax parts and for our robot parts.
On the left, pre-tweak. On the right, looking pretty good.
What the heck, we need to print something fun.
Fun as in a blue glow in the dark starfish!
