I'm going to try the Dragon high flow. See what happens

The Z endstop and bed probe drove me to drink a few times. I ended up switching to the "Tap" and found that soo much simpler. I've also learned that the hotend I started with (Revo Voron) While nice, is quite slow for the printer.. I was chasing my tail for a while trying to get good prints...

Here is how it sits today. Still printing all the other build parts and learning as I go.

Been a while, and a lot has happened with it. I've been so into the build that I haven't thought to post pics or updates. The concerns for milling my own bed were appreciated and I kept a close eye on it. I only ended up making 1 adjustment and I think i'm happy with the results (Knowing...

Wires are done! (mostly lol) It made its first XY moves yesterday. Does anyone know how to assign the Z end stop position in RepRap firmware? Right now it tries to home Z at the 0/0 bed position but I want it to move to the back of the bed over the the Z end stop.

Probably the lack of experience on my part but I thought I would wire this all in one shot....... No chance lol. I'm revising my estimate to 3 attempts rather than one 😬

Made some good progress this weekend. It's time to start running wires :oops:

I've been reading a lot on the forums and discord regarding alternatives to the inductive probe. It's all a bit overwhelming and I'm not sure what way to go. At this stage, the inductive probe is all I have. Should I be holding out and taking another direction or push forward and make a...

Mounted the bed the other day as well as the gantry. it's starting to look like a printer.

As I said, I know nothing lol. I never thought of recessing magnets into the bed and it would have been easy enough to do. I guess too late for now but I'll keep that in mind should I have to make another.

For better or worse, It's done now lol. Only time will tell if I messed it up or not.

Yeah, I thought of that. I'm monitoring it and so far it seems to be stable. But if it warps I can always get another and try again. The main reason I thought to mill it out a bit is because its twice as thick as needed and it could take a long time to heat up. I figured taking some mass out...

I'm planning to mount the fuse on the outside in the usual place. If the plate gets too hot it should work as expected I would think.

Already started so no turning back now 😬

Here is a sectional of what I had in mind. The bottom of the build plate will have a cavity for the heater pad. I will then "Cap" it with a thin metal plate. The cavity will have some insulation inside it to keep the heat moving up into the plate and not down towards the electronics. For...
