I should be further along but I had a stomach thing on Sunday. Got some more done this morning.
Also check out the better lighting. This blind guy can actually see now. Heh.

Very impressed with the Ember Prototypes PEI build plate I got for the Prusa. Mine is literally an unprinted one I got from the owner for cheap but you can actually get boards with a company logo on them that will create an imprint on the bottom of prints.
For PETG … incredible adhesion but easy to remove. I’m a snob for that material and usually print on Garolite/G10 (fiberglass fused to metal… it’s the white board you see. A lot more expensive).
High recommend. They make these boards for practically any printer too in pretty much any size.
Made in Canada. And their owner is incredibly friendly.

For my assistant’s birthday today. First “project” made on the new printer. Took me about 4 hours last night with the last pieces printing I went to bed:
.. unidentified rose gold Silk PLA I got from someone for Christmas that I hadn’t used
Overture Matte Light Brown PLA
Elegoo Yellow/Red PLA for the top decorations.
0.15 mm layer height. 0.4mm hotend.
I don’t even need to think about this printer after it lays down good first layer. It just works.

Shit, that does look better.

Original creation from a 3D scan I found made by the Latvian Historical Society. This is the Latvian Freedom Memorial:
My grandmother would have seen this being erected as a teenager in the 1930s as Latvia gained and then subsequently lost their Independence to the Nazi party and subsequently the USSR. It was a gathering spot for the Independence movement in the 1980s that led into the fall of the USSR and new independence for Latvia.
Anyways. Means a lot to me. I’ll eventually make the pedestal it sits on as well (in real life this sucker has to be 50 feet up on the air. It made it through WWII and the Cold War (where it was almost demolished).

This TPU looks very interesting: https://qidi3d.com/products/tpu-aer...ePuJgyrQS4TYNHz4prPdPuucCdcZ3dGxoCnQYQAvD_BwE

I had toys when I was a kid that remind me of this. Very cool finish on that.
I’ve yet to think of something to use Aero/foaming filament on but I know the RC plane guys swear by this stuff. Should be light and practically unbreakable.
I’ve seen people make hammers out of the higher shore TPU before.
“Silk” filament is semi-foaming as it comes out of the hotend (not quite aero but it’s very lightweight) It’s PLA mixed with TPU. TPU gives it that shine it has. The PLA unfortunately makes it brittle as glass.

I have a ton of white PETG (I use it around the house to fix boring things like light switch covers and making shelves) so I made an astronaut variant for my office. Probably will make him a big flag this weekend to hold or maybe a katana.
Needed a camera feed to add to Prusa Connect and found this adapter to attach a $15 Tapo cam to a Dummy13. Cute, huh?
These Dummy 13 figures are really fun to put together.

Not the same brand but this video helped me better understand the properties a bit better…

Finally got my Bambu back up and running. It had been down for weeks because I could not figure out what was wrong. Thermistor was reading 130C at room temp which was a toolhead board issue. Replaced that. Then it refused to extrude on the plate (it would purge) so I replaced the hotend assembly. Still no go.
Turned off “filament tangle detection” and now the fucker works fine so I have an extra heating assembly. Goddamnit. Ha.
