New toy should be arriving tomorrow, so made a run to Home Depot/Lowe’s today — space is limited, so rather than a dedicated table, or putting it on a workbench, my current plan is: an Anti-Fatigue Mat Section: https://www.harborfreight.com/4-piece-anti-fatigue-foam-mat-set-94635.html a milk crate…

I don’t know exactly which new toy it is… :slight_smile: Do your resonance tuning in the final configuration as damped. I quit attempting isolation with foam and pavers once I had a printer with resonance tuning. When printing PLA, you definitely don’t want it enclosed, so don’t make an enclosure …

Elegoo Centauri Carbon. No carbide nozzles available (yet?), but I’ve had a set of hardened steel in various sizes in my Amazon cart for a while now. I’ll probably leave the wood filament to my Ordbot for the time being. EDIT: Printer has arrived, been set up, and is printing well (using AmazonBa…

Yay. You deserve a new toy. I use Overture PLA from amazon quite a bit. Also I use a lot of PolyMaker filament. So far I haven’t had a ‘bad’ roll. I find that the Gridfinity boxes are a bit smallish, and my build plate is also. Happy printing

[image] 1HappyTechnician: I find that the Gridfinity boxes are a bit smallish FreeGrid (brainchild of @in3dca ) doesn’t have the same size ecosystem, but for basic stuff or just designing your own, it has a 50x50mm base grid, a bit larger than Gridfinity. So if you find that the smaller 42x42m…

The irony here, is that I am actually contemplating a fork of Gridfinity where the underlying grid is halved…

There’s a setting in the FreeGrid workbench to change grid size, so if you want a 32.75mm (or anything else down to impractical, which is likely around 20mm) sized grid, it’s possible!

[image] WillAdams: my current plan is: My son has been wanting to put a cantilevered umbrella by his pool. There is a hole in the cool deck already, so I brought my X1C and put it on his pool table to print. It is not very detailed, and dimensions do not have to be exact, so I am not worried …

@WillAdams I forgot to mention that I am using a spool of ABS that is at least 6 years old (or older) that came with a 3D printer I purchased on the recommendation of a fellow Shapeoko forum member! It was an acrylic Prusa clone.

[image] WillAdams: Elegoo Centauri Carbon. I have been sitting in the wings thinking about buying a Elegoo Centauri Carbon. Interested in your first assessment as you turn it on.

It is replacing an Ordbot Quantum, so the bar is quite low. That said, it’s been running pretty much non-stop since I got it and is a quantum leap in terms of speed and the quality of the finished prints and increased working area, and the only difficulty has been cleaning up supports, and my disco…
