Mitigating Spousal Annoyance will figure highly into the process, lol. She is a good sport in supporting all my hobbies and so I want to do what I can to preserver harmony in our little apartment. So my proposed timeline with the wife is as follows:
- one weekend of taking over the dining room table for the build process.
- two weeks of completed printer sitting on our dresser in the bedroom of our apartment, for calibration, configuration and misc printing exp.
- one weekend of building an enclosure
- printer in new home inside enclosure.
After the printer is in good running order and in an enclosure next steps will be:
- Misc improvements community recommends like feet, fan shroud ect.
- Octo Pi and web cam (enclosure will have no windows)
- Relay hooked to octo Pi to turn printer on and off
- Air scrubber http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:125264
