Description
My first upload to so please critic away....
I purchased my first 3D print from a really helpful guy in Oxfordshire (mentioning no names... Greg!). Assembled this over the next few weeks with a lot of help from Greg but tweaked the assembly to my only liking. Once it was assembled I was just over the moon with my first print of a skull without support that I watched the whole 3 hour print.
One of the first things to tackle was the main issue of bed levelling. Having read all the forum, asked many people and lots of thinking i decided the best thing to do was to make a means of manual adjust using simple nuts and screws.
What I thought would be a simple task turned out to many many redesigns and tweak and I learnt a lot in regards to tolerances and limitations of 3D printing with my particular printer. It also reminded me how badly I needed bed levelling LOL
Anyway I've attached a exploded view of the parts required and I would say the hardest thing for me was finding a spring. You may fair better than me but look for a retractable pen spring that has a internal bore of 5mm
This is my first upload so love to see your prints and feedback I'll be also uploading my arduino RAMPS case for this printer as well
