    Lesson Learned

    Well, I always intended to print up spares for the extruder, but things kept getting in the way, ABL, tidying up the wiring etc. Well the inevitable happened, I had a cooling fan failure overnight and the heat warped and loosened the extruder block!

    Luckily, with the help of a heat gun I managed to coax it back into some semblance of a workable piece, and was able to get everything calibrated OK.

    Guess what I am printing now

    Heh..., I printed my spares before some "new learnings" regarding ABS.

    I think I need some spare spares...

    Also, per Dunginhawk's comments..., there's something about printing printer parts that compels me to want another printer.
