I moved on a bit with the recoater remake. I have printed out and fine-tuned all parts I will need - the blade holders and pulley holders. I made it from the ASA so hopefully it will be able to withstand the high temperatures (if not then it will be CNC machined). ASA is more temp resistant (temps just below 100°C are OK) than ABS and more rigid. Good thing is that it also prints easier than ABS.

Blade itself is ready as well - CNC machined from aluminum, as planned. Linear rails are just perfect.

I will mount everything into the printer in coming days.
