  • New Skill Acquired: Plasma Cutter

  • Earlier this week, I spent about 15 hours with the cutting torch. Just hacking apart a massive railroad dump truck I'm rebuilding. Hacking away at the truck, burning myself with slag and splatters, and leaving behind some truly hideous cuts as the torch...
  • Securing the outlet tube and a little Welding

  • My plan is to use a length of plastic tubing to deliver the output of the syringe to either the extruder or the mixer. That way, the syringe doesn't have to be mounted on the carriage of the printer. The thing that's always worried me is how to connect...

  • The finish line... kind of

  • Since the last log, I finished this build. It took me 4 days total to get everything right and I didn't keep good documentation on anything, including the 3d files, so I'm not entirely sure they are the best versions... but I'll try and fix that...
