Heaven help me - I've just bought a delta kit :-)

[curious aardvark]

Alexa's (It and my niece were named long before amazon stole the name) back up and running.
And looking new and shiny.

So here's the thing.
I wanted a single heatblock.
ended up buying a pack with 4 heatblocks, 4 metal 'throats, bunch of 0.4mm nozzles for £10.
NObody just sells a single heatblock. And this pack was the cheapest I could find. Shame the metal throats don't fit alexas cooling block - but I've got plenty ptfe liner.
I guess at some point the extra bits will come in handy. not the same size heatblock (not quite a sdeep), but works just fine.
Nozzles - okay let's talk bloody ridiculous.

I could get a single 0.5mm nozzle from ebay for about £2.50 and a weeks delivey time. I wanted at least 2.
In the end I bought a mixed pack of 20 nozzles with next day delivery from amazon containing 2x0.5mm nozzles for £4.
Sheer insanity.
I'll probably play with the other sizes at some point. But how crazy is that pricing ? 20 for less than the price of 2 !

I know people don't like amazon. But where else can you order stuff at 22:30 and have it delivered the next day - on a saturday - before 13:00 and still pay less than ebay ?

The new nozzles are slightly narrower with a longer pointy end. Looks good and prints well.

Currently knocking out an alignment block for my new laser cutter.
After 5.5km of filament it looks like Alexa appreciates the new parts :-)
