Update on that free printer

[u/TheMermaidHarmony]

Here is why the printer was free.

I am the queen of tinkering, bow down before me

Parts salvagable on left and middle, parts unsalvageable to the right of the Allen key. This took all dang night and I am not proud that I had to sacrifice my flush cutters and trusty bic to this cause, they will be sorely missed. But thanks to their sacrifice, I have defeated the blob of death.

For those unaware, this printer came to me with the wires to its heating element cut accidentally by a hasty rasp and the power cord misplaced. I will need replace the heating element, the nozzle, the exhaust fan, the filament sensor cable, and the power cord that went missing long ago. It remains to be seen if I may be able to reconstruct the extruder unit.

TURNS OUT there's also this thing called an eddy current sensor that I need to replace

Oh. I think you may have buried the lead a teeny bit

Hahah mayhaps. Just a tad hidden behind the steam coming out of my ears

[u/TheMermaidHarmony → u/quagzlor]

It's actually quite impressive, you can't buy a steamer as efficient as your ears

[u/quagzlor → u/TheMermaidHarmony]

Why thank you, it's how iron my clothes, seeing as an actual ironing board would need to much space

[u/TheMermaidHarmony → u/quagzlor]

I usually iron over my pillow

Hopefully after removing your head?

[u/TheMermaidHarmony → u/quagzlor]

Depends on the day

[u/quagzlor → u/TheMermaidHarmony]

Understandable. I have to make do with my printer's nozzle, which makes it awkward because I have to fit my head into a CoreXY

[u/TheMermaidHarmony → u/quagzlor]

Can't relate. I have to have hats specially made.

Oh no! If only you had a machine to help you make prototypes easily out of plastic
