Hmm, ambient here is~25C-26C and ~42% humidity. I have been running the bed at 95C. After about 20min the interior temp usually can get up to about 32C and the humidity drops to ~30-34%. I've not noticed the temp climbing past ~32C and I am wondering what's different. Why does your setup warm up so? Ideas?

I do run a bed preheat a few times and let it run until it times out. I also tape up the slit in the back of the top to slow heat loss there. I seem to be able to get about sustained 45c at the back, lower left corner of the machine which is where my thermometer is.

That's awesome W! I can't wait to hear how it works. The multi-color feature is very cool.

Two days into the build and it is going good. About 9 hours yesterday and 7 so far today. There is a lot to this but it is fun.
Might be printing tonight.
