Spending the evening repairing all 3 printers tonight. I think I overworked them the last few weeks. Earlier today, I had zero printers working. As of a little bit ago, I'm 90% sure I have one out of three working. If not, parts for them should arrive Monday. This is the part - behind the scenes - that people don't see. At the shows and in my posts - you just get to see the pretty or fun results.
This is a pic of some of what I've dealt with this evening. The nozzles are supposed to point straight down. On one of the printers, it was about at a 5-10 degree angle off from that. Replaced/rebuilt some hotends, tore apart an extruder and while I was add it, upgraded the parts inside. Now, finishing it all up and test printing before I can get back to fun stuff. I've been working on a new, more sleek version of my lightboxes - hopefully I can test those soon!
