I thought so too! I cleaned it up a bit and glued the bottom back on. Its my pencil cup at work now

I have! This printer actually finished a 3ft sailboat rudder before this print. I popped some pictures of it in as well

Do you think that could be be solved by adjusting the z offset?

Thanks for the tip! I’ve been hesitant to start messing around to much but I think it should if it means it’s more reliable

I’ve been looking at this for a while. The camera I have on it is a security camera that i put on my desk while it prints if I’m gone.

Do you think its worth pulling the trigger on a raspberry pie to get this set up?

It would at least once lol

It’ll probably be one or two more weekends worth of work, but I think I’m close. Its been an interesting learning experience, and honestly one that I probably couldn’t have done without a 3d printer. I’m very glad I gave it a shot and didn’t dump the boat like I had initially though about

I dig it!

And thank you! I’ll post an update once its done and in the water

Thats for the Hunter 170 next to it.

That makes me wonder if I couldn’t get that canoe sailing though.

Yes, I just finished printing a rudder core for my sailboat.

For all the headache its caused, its also saved me from several trips to the store to find cable ties, chip clips, a hair dryer holder, pencil cups, spice racks, etc.

Sweet thank you!

How’s Freecad these days? I avoided awhile ago it because it looked difficult to use but I think this might push me over to it
