125 - Took Forever But Here It is!

[tbrown]

I should decide which I'm getting. It's a tough one...

I figured I'd go with the Freshwater and do another Betta tank. Less stress.

True. I have a 5g I can turn into a fuge too if that's the way I want to go. Either way, I'm gonna hold off on the setup for now. Get the 40 up first, with the noop that I won...

Well... Possibly losing the torch. Looks like the second head is now disintegrating - still doesn't look like BJD. Who knows.

I think I have toxic sponges. I got some carbon, need to bag it and run it.

Maybe frag the good head?

I had considered it but the frag is glued down. I guess if I lose it, I lose it. :expressionless-face:

And I just trimmed this back...

What are those green shroom? I have some like that and never know what to call them. I just call them green fuzzy rhodactis, but not even sure of they are rhodactis.

Some people call them Carpet, some call them Rhodactis, some call them Fuzzy. They're not technically Fuzzy Mushrooms. As far as I'm aware they're a standard green Rhodactis but I usually refer to them as Carpets.

I won 2, the other one died on day 2 in the tank and this one split on day 3.

Oh yeah, and the printer showed up today. We bought a new entertainment center this afternoon though so we've been cleaning and moving furniture.

3D Printer is setup, updating Cura and then we're going to print the boat.

Ok... That was a fail. @stoney7713 @Mschmidt @Projects with Sam do I need Aquanet or am I miss something else here? It's not sticking is my guess...?

Clean with Dawn dish soap really well then isopropyl alcohol.

So it looks like my Z-axis is set too high.

Yes .1mm, gotta give it some squish. But if you have anything on the bed it won't stick well either.

PLA I run at a bed temp of 50, any higher and it wraps the print due to the low melting point of PLA

PTEG I run 80, it takes a lot more heat and doesn't warp badly. It sticks great.

50 C?

 

[tbrown]

Nevermind, I figured it out.

 

[stoney7713]

50 C?

Yes, your temps might run a bit lower, different printers, print heads, room temps, speeds.

Got that first helmet printed yet? :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
