My first angry shot

[old man emu]

After some help from Colin Farrer of MakerFarm, I made my first useful print today. They are the two gears from the Wades Extruder. They are not the ones supplied with the kit, but will do for backups.

A couple of things that I found to be important:

1. It is essential to set the Z-Axis endstop so the gap between the bottom of the extruder nozzle and the hot bed is between 0.1 and 0.3mm (4 thou - 10 thou")
2. The hot bed glass has to be squeaky clean and dust free before it is sprayed with Garnier-Fructus Maximum hold hairspray.

I've attached a couple of photos.
