    SgtToe 12" i3v Build Thread

    Well I just placed my order, very exciting. I plan to use this thread to ask questions about my build as well as document my progress.

    2. .3mm nozzle for hot end
    3. Extra Thermestor
    4. spool of purple abs filament

    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:
    1. Misc improvements community recommends like feet, fan shroud ect.
    2. Octo Pi and web cam (enclosure will have no windows)
    3. Relay hooked to octo Pi to turn printer on and off
    4. Air scrubber http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:125264
