Shredder + updates (Patreon)
Content
Dear Patrons,
I promised the first plastic shredding to be a Patreon exclusive so here it is. The shredder has gone together much more easily than I anticipated. I've just gotten home from the hardware store after buying some aluminium to build a simple hopper for the top. Assuming that goes well this will be my next video.
Some other updates:
CR-10 Max review progress has been slow; it keeps stuffing up! Early on I had some loose bolts which I identified and tightened, then the bowden coupler failed, The latest print detached, knocked off the silicone sock and snapped/removed the BLtouch pin. I left it overnight but stayed up until the first layer was 80% done (and looking great), so I was surprised to find it this way in the morning. I needed to finish the Ender 5 enclosure video to make enough bench space to get the thing off the floor and receiving attention.
Another printer I'm meant to be reviewing is the Cetus MK3. I assembled it a fortnight ago but the software won't install. Since it has no LCD or physical interface it's essentially a brick until this is sorted.
A printer I'm excited about in the future is the Sekit: https://seckit3dp.design/price/sk-300
Edit, was meant to be this one: https://seckit3dp.design/price/sk-mini
CoreXY with linear guides and other high quality features, but by an enthusiast, customisable and relative affordable for what it is. I've had a little say in the direction of the future development which has been cool too.
I have some pretty big plans for next year that I'm starting to investigate. One of them includes a linked Discord server for Patrons. It should make communication easier, especially new patrons trying to find content I've posted. If anyone else you support already has this in place I'd love to know what you like best about it so I can make sure to include the same features. My aim is to increase the features I can offer as perks, in a way that I can realistically maintain.
Thank you to all of you for your support. The whole thing still feels surreal!
