Ants!
There is always exactly one major issue with my printer at all times. If this isn’t a law, it should be. This machine has only produced around 10 “good” prints. In that time, I have experienced:
- Overheating poly fuses
- Seized bearings
- Skipping steps on retraction
- Non-horizontal cracking
- Adhesion issues
And now Ants! I woke up this morning to find the desk covered in ants! There was a cardboard vent hood surrounding my machine to catch vapors through a charcoal filter, but also to keep the machine warm, baffle any cross breezes, and provide additional structure for mounting. Just last night, I tested ventilation with dry-ice (it worked great!)
Mere hours later ants take up residence in the folds of cardboard making up the structure for the hood. A small problem really because tomorrow the whole office will be sucked into a singularity.
