That’s a shame but I am enjoying working on printers as much as I am printing to be honest. As far as money sinks, I could have bought a nice bambu brinter for what I have into my ad5x and ender 3. It’s easier to see after the fact. Perhaps this one will go in the attic until I feel like throwing more money in a hole. Thanks for the reply :)

I did decide if this thing actually works I’ll probably install linear rails, the kit is ~$70 on their site and should make x and y a lot more precise. The gantry style x/y feels pretty loose TBH though that could be the frame being loose. I may add locktite to the frame fasteners.

Thank you, I haven’t done the kapton tape yet but hairspray did the trick for my first couple of prints.

Money tree, I’m planning to scale up the same print and run it again once I get filament in a color I like better.

I hope that’s what my daughter wants out of this because it’s what I can provide for now.

It’ll probably be somewhere between there and 3.

Thank you, I’ll look up the flashing process.

That’s an interesting idea but I don’t know if there’s a market for it where I’m at, we don’t have the best local economy.

I’ll be sure to let my daughter know that, I think she’ll be ok though, she’s a computer science major and has a decent mechanical aptitude.

I see your point on patience, the biggest reason I want to fix the v3 and let my daughter have the other two is automatic bed leveling. Doing it manually sounds like a chore.
