Purchased another reel of ABS (yellow this
time) as I am getting very close to the end of my 210meter reel of black ABS,
this was also so that I could get some replacement hot end resistors on order.
ABS arrived with hot end resistors, and by
strange coincidence so did the IMU for the balancing bot (I had completely
forgotten about this part, and is the last part needed to start the balance bot
project yey)
Set about replacing the hot end resistor and
immediately spotted problems, the resistors I had bought were slightly bulged
in the center causing me to have to drill out the heater block so that they
would fit, after much fiddling I did get the Parcan hot end back on the Prusa and
working again.
This issue has highlighted the need for me to
get building my own hot ends & heater blocks, this is hopefully coming soon
as my local EV dealer has a great workshop with drill press & lathe which I
will be visiting soon (he also wants a
3D printer for his EV projects and has offered the use of his workshop, cool)
