  • Cracked support nozzle inlet buffer when trying to unclog - need to install replacement.
  • Still need a spare WinXP computer for running the printer.

History

  • 7JUL2013 - Arrived at Makerspace
  • 10SEP2013 - Moved into 3D printing area and began testing
  • 1OCT2013 - Replaced support nozzle solenoid
  • 10OCT2013 - Attempted to clear support nozzle clog; cracked inlet buffer; said a lot of naughty words.
  • 17OCT2013 - replaced inlet buffer, did full cleaning of support hotend, but support side seems clogged worse than before. Said heck with it and decided to just run with the model extruder only for Makerfest.

Notes

  • You need to be checked out on the Stratasys before you use it! There are melty bits and motors that can crush things. And it's hot.
