Time lapse in new printer enclosure

Mon, 22 Aug 2016 14:59:15 +0000

So awhile back I came across an instructables article regarding using some ikea lack tables to make a 3dprinter enclosure….. I love ikea…. So this was the project. http://www.instructables.com/id/3d-Printer-Enclosure-from-Upcycled-Furniture/ I went to ikea. Got 2 lack tables and put them together…. I want my printer higher up. ELEVATE TO THE LEVEL OF THE GODS!!! no. just high enough I can watch it cause I like to watch it go back and forth while I make printer noises.

Some projects and upgrades

So I have a few things on order coming from china for some various projects. I figured since I haven’t posted much lately I will post some pre-project dribble. Phoenix Connectors – Aliexpress I have these coming to be able to connect audio up to my ClearOne XAP800. The XAP800 is going to be added to my Home Automation system to be able to control/mix/route audio from various sources to various destinations.

My first Thingiverse Item (Light Saber Stand)

So I owed a buddy of mine a stand for a light saber. I took his saber and measured it up and actually designed my first real 3d design.

Its nothing crazy and will have a couple more tweaks as the tolerances are a little too tight right now.

My First 3d Printer (final)

So you have seen my woes. I learned ALOT about 3d printers during the build and trials and tribulations. But once I had it pseudo working the first thing I wanted to print…. UPGRADES!!!

“#$%^& YES!!!! Print your own upgrades!” I yelled at the printer!

My First 3d Printer (part 2)

Wow, its been 6 months since I wrote part 1. I will show a few more pics of the build and then go into some MAJOR things I learned. Some links to really good resources and some pics of various prints I have done. This was the picture after I got a lot of the main support structure together. I thought I was getting close to being done. Oh how wrong I was.
