After the seven PETG prints and one PLA print for the Deck Builder the print bed on the Prusa i3 is completely covered in glue residue. A thin layer of glue (I’ve liked using a simple glue stick so far) is a simple way to provide more adhesion for the first layer of a print, but…

Deck Builder
So far I’ve only printed single pieces items; some of them have taken a long time to print, but there’s been no assembly into a finished piece. For my first foray into a multi-component I wanted something useful. This is a loose interpretation of useful: a mechanical box to hold a Pokemon deck. Deck Box #1 After…
Bed Leveling Failed
The Prusa i3 tossed up one of its first calibration errors for me today; Bed leveling failed. Sensor triggered too high. Waiting for reset. That seems bad. A bit of googling, and a quick trip to the Prusa Forums pointed to something being mis-aligned between the Z axis heights stored to the printers EEPROM…
Unwinding?
If you’re switching between filaments, you need something to keep the spool from unwinding. This model set is incredibly useful: a super simple, super quick filament clip with variations for a bunch of different spool shapes and sizes. With a quick modification prior to slicing, it’s also very easy to print out multiples: View this post on…
No More Headphones on the Desk
The MakerBot Head Phone stand seems to be a rite of passage for a lot of 3d printers. My first few attempts at printing the stand failed. For one attempt I didn’t check that the print would fit the print volume of the Prusa i3 mk2 – it didn’t. The second attempt delaminated half way through and…
Keep Me
Nice, simple, and clean stackable project tray, specifically for the bits we want to keep from small or multi-part prints. A few filament clips may have made their way to the recycling bin amongst other left over clippings ?. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dwyer Devices (@dwyerdevices) I like these boxes…
Shark the Shark
As luck would have it, the friends from Brooklyn had another evening free. There was a cleaner print of a Sorting Hat waiting for the older of the two kids, but we’d never gotten around to printing anything for the younger kid. Four year olds have less than zero patience, which meant browsing through different…
Pikachu Reprint
Two kids sharing one Pikachu is a recipe for disaster. That, and I wanted to test out a red Hatchbox filament. So a quick reprint of the Pikachu figurine from Reprinting the Pikachu from Pikachu, I print you!
