Lol 
PA is very hydroscopic. I had sample laying in drybox with plenty of desicant and it was all moist. Could not print it.

Just finished my enclosure made of 15x15x500 makerbeams
Still needs a lot of work, like a proper opening, but Iâve to search well how to cut acrylic

Looks great man! Only thing I would thing to take out the electronics. With 40 degree chamber tempersture the fan will work 100%.

Got the hardened nozzle⌠Time to print gearsâŚ
Just testing with the nylon I have already. Is Esun ePA. Tried a small calibration cube and was surprise that the size was almost correct. Only 0.1-0.15mm off⌠Which is standard for 3D printing. I was aspecting more shrinking like ABS.
Anyhow printing at 100. 5% letâs see how it goesâŚ
Quick getto style dry chamber 
and goâŚ

Another example why I love 3D printing.
First gear. For the monet is fine. I will print other at higher temperature to see if changes something. This one is at 260C (post processing boiled 30 minute and cool down in water), that is the max temp suggested, but I read of people printing at 275-280C. I will see
If it doesnât work then I will try stronger material and otherwise I will machine it spur gear. This one is helical so need a 4th axis to machine it.

Is anyone in the EU after a brand new boxed Ender 3? I bought a spare and could get rid of it

Pushing the envelope as usual, looks very useable congrats

Thanks so far so good if not going to try stronger material. I made also a power draw bar. If someone has a mill and wants the files for the project will save you a bit of time

Concering the Ender3 I can ask to a couple of people. Which price are you shooting for?
Thinking âŹ160 + shipping, itâs brand new and only opened to look at top contents.
is the pro or normal ender 3? Just to know what to say
Just because here in BE I know a lot of guys buy from a local shop that gives you warranty and extra test, plus cheap shipping. Ender 3 is too close, I will ask but I see it difficult.
Standard model
Upgrade for who is not running octoprint but wants control over the printer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7imE26gQlc
I think is great. Up to know I use an old phone as IP camera for the printer and a WiFi socket in order to shut off the printer if needed. This product sounds really good. Is someone already using it? Would it work on Marlin too? I will search about it. In the mean time better to order it since takes a bit of time

It looks pretty cool!
But, octopi is so nice. Thereâs a nice smart time estimator plugin thatâs pretty accurate. The gcode visualizer. The âcancel one objectâ plugin.
I have a Logitech c920 hooked up, and I just added control for led lights via gpio.
24v from printerâs psu -> LM2596 $2 buck converter to 12v -> $1 mosfet boards for arduino -> LED ring light on camera, and LED strip stuck to roof of cabinet.
Pi has two GPIO pins that can do hardware PWM, so LEDs have independent on/off and brightness control now, accessible via octoprint UI (added like 8 lines to config.yaml).
Iâm considering controlling printerâs 110v input via $1 relay board.
I can also use the pi to grab metrics from smart bms via btle.

Thatâs why I said if you donât run octoprint. Otherwise no reason for that. For a plug and play solution sounds nice. Ordered one from Banggood. I will report back if it works not on stock firmware.

Let me know how it goes! Iâm using a wyze cam atm. For unknown reasons my raspberry pi B+ cannot run it. Itâs incredibly slow when it works.

yeh ordered already. We will see 
Youtube showed an ad of SnapMaker, doesnât look bad at all. What youâall think?
never looked at it before. I will have a look. Usually multifunction tools are only good if really well built and usually price comes with it. Just a general assumption of course
