Very short lived #positron3d printing experience. Started to calibrate and found the hotend leaking. Not having much luck with this one. #3dprinting #3dprinter #3dprintinglife #frustration #frustrating.

*Finally!* My Black Friday purchase is up and running. Months of waiting for a part to arrive and this morning it came. So my #Positron3d printer is now up and running. Yipee. #3dprinting #3dprinter #overturepla

It’s been a busy week. Applied for my tax number so I can work for myself. Ordered more PETG from #nobufil. I have a project in mind. My replacement toolboard is (finally) on its way for the #positron. Best of all I have ordered a #CitroenAMI. Very exciting. #3dprinting #3dprint #positron3d

Just completed the build of my #positron3d printer. I have to say it was one of the most enjoyable builds I have experienced. Can’t wait for the tool board to arrive and I can squirt some gunk through it. #3dprinter #3dprinting

The #bigrat ate up the cheap and nasty ABS and spat out a pretty decent print. This happens to be the longest print to date, 10hrs. After weeks and weeks of #frustration I’m slowly beginning to believe in it. #ratrig #vcore4 #3dprinter #3dprinting

After some alterations the #bigrat is doing its thing. Spent yesterday calibrating the twist in the x-gantry. Feeding it some “cheap & nasty” generic ABS. Seems to be working. #ratrig #3dprinting #ratos

Now thats all done I’ll again about to continue the fight with then #BigRat. The ever moving z-offset is today’s main objective. But first the frame needs a very very small adjustment to lift the back right corner. The issue is the quick connectors. I hate them. #ratrig #frustration #3dprinting

Well that didn’t go as planned. Supposed to be a relaxing trip. Blue lighted to the emergency department with what didn’t turn out to be a heart attack. #3dprinting #ratrig #hospital #positron

Drove down to the Spanish Coast for a few days of sunshine. It’s been nice to leave the BigRat behind. Such a frustrating experience. Anyhoo. #ratrig #sunnydays #spain #costabrava

So. Feeding the BigRat didn’t have a happy ending. At some point it decided that it needed to layer shift and not just by a little. Frustratingly this happens all too often. #ratrig #nobufil #positron #3dprinting

More food for the BigRat. More Positron parts for me. #ratrig #nobufil #3dprinting #positron

After many weeks of trial and error my RatRig VCore 4 500 is printing. These are the ABSx accented parts for my Positron Christmas project. #3dprinting #nobufil #ratrig
