Seems the Model 3 long range hasn't had a wave of vins to Australia for a bit now. Assume it was due to focus on the standard M3 and somewhat the performance.
Any thoughts on when the next might come. Assume not likely the ELEKTRA?
I know it's likely no one knows, not even Tesla in Australia.
Gemini is insisting that my car is on the Lake Saint Anne that's in its way to Melbourne and then Sydney. Saying that in the next day, Sydney buyers shouid start seeing the base model whites because allocated, with my long range blue in a few days...
I'm sceptical cause, well if you don't already know AI can pull stuff from anywhere and can't always be trusted. However a part of me is hoping that it's nailed it and within a few days I should have a vin, and a car that lands in Sydney on the 7th May...
So I am finally looking at printing beyond PLA and PETG.
I have read that ASA is possible on an ender 3 pro.
I have bought a foil based enclosure tent. I already have a mk8 all metal hotend. I already have Capricorn tubing.
I have a PEI bed and hope that will be good for ASA. I used to have a glass bed (plus the original creality magnetic bed) but I don't really want to put that back on if I dont need to as I like the PEI bed for pla.
I have bought a exhaust/pc fan and a thermostat to control it for temp control in the enclosure, but I have a feeling that internal temps won't likely rise that high anyway so it may rarely turn on.
I know ideally that 60+ degrees C enclosure temp is good for ASA but I also realise this isn't good for the PSU and stepper motors which I hope not to relocate/move outside the enclosure mainly due to the effort and availability of kits in Australia.
So I will likely set the enclosure temp to a max of 50 degrees c. Sound reasonable? Will that be ok for my aging machine? I'm ok with a minor risk to the machines life as it's already had a good one... Just I wouldn't do it if there's a high risk, or even more so a fire risk. In saying this I have ordered a thermostat that will kill the printer power if it rises to say 65 degree's C as a precaution.
I understand that the gases are toxic and so are the micro plastics. This will sit in my detached garage which can be isolated during printing. I won't likely exhaust it as that would require a door to be left open.
