We're in business ;)

PrusaBot progress

I've decided to take some time off printing the parts and work on any fine tuning I can. I'm going to reprint some of the parts that suffered warping before I found the oven trick. I'm currently happy with 2 of the vertex with feet, I'll see about reprinting some of the other ones tonight. My goal is to print tonight and tomorrow and have at least one set of parts for the Prusa...

Vertex#2

This is the second attempt at printing a vertex for the Prussia Mendel. I heated the build platform for about 5 minutes in the oven on a low temp. This seems to prevent bowing a bit. The piece is slightly lifted off the platform, but jot as much as the first.

First finished vertex

Wow. I need some cleaning, but it almost looks like it's supposed to!

5th print

First attempt at a pulley. The base looks pretty good to my untrained eye, but the upper business end needs a lot of work. Still pretty cool!
