One mighty terrible 3D Benchy almost done.

One mighty terrible 3D Benchy almost done.

Things to correct:

  • Z mounting needs to be more rigid
  • use additional bearings (flanged?) to prevent belt from rubbing against bearing retainers (biggest cause of missed steps)
  • switch to E3Dv6 lite hotend (just because I have a spare)
  • add a layer cooling fan to the hotend

Oddly enough, even with the slight x/y rotational wobble on Z, there aren’t too many visible layer shifts in the final print.

So far, this experiment is working quite well.
