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.

  • Late 2013/Early 2014 - disassembled head for removal of support extruder, support hotend cleaned, discovered manufacturing defect that should be easily fixed.

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.
