90 face shield frames in a mix of PLA & PETG ready for collection for front line workers. BURPS is only getting material covered for this work, but is happy to be able to help in some small way. There's a little over 50hrs of printing here spread over 4 days and three machines.
Day care duties has resulted in an unexpected quality control officer who is equally keen on 'make printers running'! New PETG machine nearing completion of basic assembly. Wiring when mini-boss is asleep!
Even the UK government's own social media teams can't work out the vague blame shifting announcements. Straight after the announcement there was a clear post:
In a state of national emergency the government should be protecting public health first and business second. To do that it's measures should be clear and woth as little room for miss interpretation as possible. Do we go to work today or not? It should be not by now.
Here's something with no relation to the work of BURPS, and to be honest I had no idea another Batman was coming, but I already like this bit of it a lot! :-D
Should be receiving my new power supply today. £80 for a 500W brand name PSU. Ok, overspec but I've killed 2 PSUs now. Puts the ~£180 printer kits you can get from online market places in perspective! Steppers, controllers, heaters, wiring, documentation & quality control?
Second 'economy' power supply to die with fan failure on my printers. Only got 4 running at the moment! Replaced cheapy 300W with a Mean Well 1/2kW. Shouldn't trouble the warranty! @MeanWellLED @MeanwellUK Can you match farnell prices for low volume is your target manf?
New hotend in build for the next P3Steel. Ti heat break, copper block, Capricorn tubing, 40W heater, PT100, nozzle x. It will be running alongside a stock hotend on a similar machine. Looking forward to the shootout! @E3DOnline @Duet3D As always music from @PrimordialRadio!
Run as far as possible on an open source toolchain and hope to encourage others to join in!
