Congratulations!
Thanks!
Congrats! I have the same looking mangled MiniMug that I plan on mounting on the wall like a trophy. 🙂
Hey if you’d still like a wade extruder, let me know. I have a few for sale. Or if you’d like I can send you this one for free that has a slight warp in it but it’s still usable.
Thanks! I’ve certainly considered it, trust me (I actually considered it a fall-back safety net, in case something bad happened with my extruder or I hit some insurmountable wall). I’m hoping to do it on my own though, which I’d say is likely given my recent progress.
Yeah I have minimug #1 at home (haven’t stored it in a permanent historical safe place yet), #2 is on my monitor at work right now, and the much improved #3 is right next to #1 at home (just baaaaaarely not water tight, I think only because of the base).
If I’d made it out of ABS I’d probably have a watertight minimug by now, but I don’t wanna mess with mixing plastics before I have backup extruders, especially with my existing Mendel extruder piece being glued to a bad-event-prone PTFE barrier. And since I don’t have a heated bed, PLA is the way I’ll get a Wade’s extruder built first. (Wade’s wins the which-I-print-first contest between Wade’s and Adrian’s because I can easily replace the PTFE, which we’ll be able to do with Adrian’s too after his new nozzle details become solid).
I’d like to order 1 dinner set for 4. Preferably by xmas. 😉
🙂
Cool, Jeff!
Can you make me a Ferrari? (After you make one for yourself, of course!)
You’re on the list.
Congratulations, Jeff. Now, can you start on my Christmas tree? My Christmas display looked so empty last Christmas without a tree!
You sound like Lou! It’s only August, way too early to be thinking about Christmas. 🙂
Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten your tree. Maybe once I get the printer working reliably, and once I’ve printed a complete working set of spare parts.. 🙂
w00t!
See? Tuesday did come..
Awesome! You did it! Congrats Jeff, we know how hard was to achieve this milestone.
Thanks! Yeah, I’m psyched to be in the “needs calibration” phase instead of the “needs to be built” or “needs part acquisition” phases. 🙂 Now if I could just get a water-tight minimug, I could properly celebrate.. 😀
Well done Jeff
I’ve been following your progress from the very beginning.
Just before you go into production of all your fantastic ideas, do a full print of all the mendel parts in case something breaks in the middle of a project, it’s just a general rule of thumb.
Hopefully your next video, we will see some of your great ideas, keep it up 🙂
Thanks! That’s incredibly cool knowing others were following along (as I’ve followed others). So glad I spent that early day in November setting up this blog instead of drilling the heater barrel.
Yeah I’ve given the elevator speech now, oh, about 500 times. I explain that the first thing you print is traditionally a little shotglass-like mug, to toast the successful creation of your RepRap. Then the next thing you print is a complete set of spare parts, which you put in a shoe box, and put in the closet. If anything ever breaks on your RepRap, you take out the spare piece, fix the RepRap, then immediately print out another spare to replace the one you just used. Then after printing the shoebox of spares, you’re supposed to print out at least two complete sets of RepRap parts which you then give to friends for the cost of around a case of beer.
Somewhere in the middle of that, for me, is printing out a geared extruder. I think that will count as my spare (or more accurately, the extruder I have now, motor and all, will be removed and count as my spare).
So until I get to that point, sadly you’ll all still be subjected to various posts of still-yet-not-able-to-actually-do-anything-original-or-creative-yet video and pictures of me printing out sheets of parts. 🙂
But, and again – I can’t stress this enough, I’M PRINTING!!! WOOHOOO!!!!!!! 😀
It must be such a joy 🙂
My RepStrap is slowly being built, between time, expertise from someone and just shear lack of funds for the most part, but like you, every frustrating moment is a moment of fun, especially when it works 😀
