The ambient is quite warm where I live and I presume it's why I'm getting spindle overheats, apart from cutting up gcode is there no way to resume a job from line after the spindle has cooled or fo we have to cut air with a 0.2 sd for a while lol.
Hopefully I'm missing something I've got really slight so and cd's im not working the machine hard.
Makera Z1,
This was done in tulip wood, a cheap stock with quite good properties, not sure why the tool makes the gauges on the top branches though.
All in all a good attempt, three passes with the basic tools the machine comes with, though I switched to a 6mm 4f 17 for the contour
Already did some cool projects with this, even though the launch of the z1 was a little rocky its a good little machine that'll only improve over time.
Support for the makera has been first class and look I forward to making some stuff, not sure what yet though.
Didnt have enough filament to start this again, so needs must lol.
Great way to save a print when the tree support snaps :P
So after the initial let down of what seems like corroded hinges, resulting in the door coming away from the machine ( can see in the link)

I've gone to set up the machine to find the registration software doesn't work, granted my Email from kickstarter may not be in the system yet but the 15day grace/trial period doesn't work and I'm kicked out.
So day 1, door broken, can't setup or use the machine because of software, what next I wonder.
Anyway I was dissapointed in the door and was willing to have a joke about it, but u/Makera this is compleatly unacceptable, I was looking forward to making some posts with the things I've made but you've turned what should be an awesome day into a complete Fing washout.
Received my Z1 this morning, after reading the guide and unpacking I was looking forward to testing and this happened.
I read about the 4th axis getting corrosion in shipping, but guess what else? even now without the pesky door in the way I'm barely able to move these hinges by hand.
Doesn't seem to be any lubrication applied to these at all :(
As above, its taken me ages to get this far, lots of prep and realistically idk if I'll ever finish it. The base has two striking scorpions for scale lol
As above, as on m350 for years, totally fine. Recently had my contract renewal and went to 1gig speeds.
Now I'm getting frquent drop outs, speeds up/down and I cant even log into my account anymore.
Is Virgin shitting itself recently or is something my end?
Had the parts for ages, kinda like grey shame but I finally built a warhound.
Its a mix of resin and fdm parts, no idea if the weapon combo is good but at least its standing.
A few coats of primer and a quick sand and it will be ready for paint.
Little project I'm working on:
Many of us have used the the already excellent Resin2FDM tool by Painted4Combat but sometimes jumping between blender/slicer can be a bit of a pain.
I wondered if I could modify PrusaSlicer to enable a similar thing as it's own resin supports in the FDM side. And I think I'm finally close.
Just a few bugs and gui issues to work out but its a working one click solution to get configurable resin supports for any fdm printer, they even get sliced as their own object so you can play around with perimeters and layer heights.
I also want to experiment with producing all supports, especially tree and sla style so the root and concurrent branches are objects, so we can use 'Exclude Object' to finally stop a printer trying to print a broken support - even if the print is stable and salvageable.
Took a fair while and many re-compiles of Prusa, but with a bit more work I plan on posting it on Github as a fork and hopefully some people can help me test it out.
