Not yet. It took ages to ship, didn't leave Germany until 3rd January, then took 2 weeks to get to Cyprus, then got picked up from the post office by the wife and youngest a few days after I had arrived back in Qatar.

So it is sat in its box waiting for me to get back to Cyprus on 25th Frown | :(

A tad annoying!

I believe Anycubic are also announcing new printers this week. Be interesting to see what's new.

I had a couple of issues the last few days at home with the current one, it was a lot colder and couldn't get the first layer to stick properly. It was also my first use of my red filament so don't know if that also had something to do with it. I cleaned and levelled the bed, heat cycled the ultrabase and raised the temps a bit and that seemed to help.

I am thinking of doing something like you did, to help keep temps up and also for fumes when printing abs etc.

How's yours behaving?

Brilliant on PLA, but ABS is being a PITA - I've got to get back to trying to get that to adhere properly in the next week or two (it's a low priority ATM). ABS is just curving and lifting even with a 110C bed / 230C extruder at half speed. and that turns the whole print to a rats nest of fine black wire ... Sigh | :sigh:

You'll have to try the various tricks;
Hairspray on the bed
Pritt stick on the bed
Blue painters masking tape on the bed
Abs and acetone mix applied to the bed

What do you mean a toddler, my youngest daughter is almost 13, and I have seen cleaner land fills and hire skips than her bedroom surfaces!

nerds!

These things sound awesome though. You two make me want one. I don't know what I'd do with it though - probably print body armor for my cats or something weird like that.

I also thought I would give Octoprint a go, so bought a raspi and 2 webcams, so will see how much success I have getting that all going. It was more for the remote monitoring.

That is clearly from an embittered example of the Marketing Species:

I won't mention the company, but ... yes, they do make Sous Vide products ... Laugh | :laugh:
