Updated thingiverse with an stl of the backplate with a few holes in it. Bored at work which means productivity on the 3d printing front.

smitty, thanks for the mention. I uploaded version 6 a few days ago but my printer failed printing midway through the spool print and now it just turns on, the bed heats up, and I had to unplug it before it went nuclear. I’m dead in the water for the moment. I have a ticket in with support and hope to have it resolved within the next few…[Read more]

Dmullerdesign…. sounds like you did well. I’m happy if you remix - you should post it on thingiverse as a remix so people have some good options. I can’t really do much more right now.

The data seemed to send all and I am viewing the print via webcam at work and it is still…[Read more]

First print - no PC attached printing overnight - right at the last minute the printer started flashing green - and put a burnt glob on the project. No worries… scrape it off but doubts about long prints. Second print - came back in the morning - same issue - flashing green - no…[Read more]

I’ve now had three issues where I started the print then the printer flashes green - it stops the head right on the object leaving a burn mark and a blob on the item printing (thus ruining the 10+hours of printing) and on one particular print it failed to resume - leaving me with no other choice but to scrap the whole thing to get the door open. …[Read more]
