Brexit Means Less Carrots & a Bigger Stick




The Effects of Brexit can be felt even before we leave, 10% hike straight off the bat on most things, Who are these idiots that compile RPI & CPI Stats, obviously they LIE. Grrr Filament Doubled in Price, if people only realized Stop Buying things & watch the Price Fall, Take your Money out of the Banks, and watch the Interest Rates Rise to Lure you Back! Take Control Build your Own Stuff!


After testing some cheap Black PLA, I think it might be time to find something better, So the search is on for some nice Matte Black Material. Or spend time on some finishing work.

Shrouded in Mystery


Printing new parts for new arm, one of which was a 40mm fan shroud, but the gremlins where messing with the hotend temp and it wasn't keeping temp' thought I might have bunged it up in the process, so had to dismantle to investigate, this was the perfect time to attach the new arm and test it out, so on it went, checked all the wires to hotend dismantled and reassembled. Time to solve the mystery oof the non printing fan shroud..tempted to just print a test cube, I decided to skip that as first print on new arm, and go straight to the turin shroud...a trick object as it has quite thin walls thinner than Ive tried before, no layer fan on at the moment, so interesting to see what happens.
