This is a bolt on one that I've had out there for a while. It repositions the switch.

I had the nozzle to close. Just did a cleaning.

I need to come up with a corner clip system for the glass.


Check out this shim, I just found it. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1670502

Is that one for 8mm or 10mm rods? It is a recent date...

[DaveB]

When ya want to upgrade to 10mm rods? I have 3 kits ready. Let me know what color the plastic, I have many ABS colors. :-)

OK, I'm ready when you are. The red material you had used in your prototype pix looked fine to me, was that ABS?

10's he says and for using the zebra board. Wonder how that stuff works?

It's printing now so I'll know shortly.

Yes, Verbatim red abs. It is good stuff.

fits great with the 10's it is made for a plate a bit thinner that .25" so be careful!!!

W, how is the Flexion install going?

Have not started yet. Wanted to get a few other little issues ironed out first. I think I found that a good first layer height for PLA is 70%. Leaving ABS at 90% for now, seems ok.

The new shim is good. allows to crank down the adjusters more which I thin tightens it up a bit.

Now trying to make new corner brackets to hold the glass in place. Once I finish these things I may start on the install. Looks like storms so this afternoon may be a good time to install and not print in case power goes out!
