Progress report: It made a thing.

My Prusa Mendel Longboat “Philosopher’s Stone” made a real, hold it in your hand, thing.

Still some work to do to get it to come out neatly, but that is very good for the first print. Just time to crunch some math, but it’s working now. I can make stuff, and with the right numbers, I can make really cool stuff.

You know, that stuff you guys paid for. Yeah, that stuff. Hehe, I can’t wait until the plastic gets here. I have ABS, which I can’t use because I don’t have either the power supply for it, or a glass cover yet (the yet is very important). I’ve just been using the free samples Ultimachine sent me of PLA.



Now that this machine is working, it’s time to get my hands on a nice, big, fat spool of the stuff. Oh yes, the fatter the better. Hehe.

And now, for today’s special question: What’s your favorite pony ask-blog?
