I strain the resin through a nylon 190 micron filter to remove bits of hardened resin and sludge. I do this regularly after prints to maintain higher quality 3d prints. #stereolithography #formlabs #Form2 #3dprinter #3dprinting #3dprint #3dprinted #3dprints #impresora3d #3dmodel #3дпринтер #3дпечать #resin #ResinToys #SLA #makermovement #makerrevolution #makers #makersgonnamake #DIY #projects #hobby #modeling #model

It’s been like 9(?) months since I used this 3d printer last. Maybe even a year. I was nervous to see if it had survived the move without any damage. Happy to announce it seems functional. Test printing is next. #stereolithography #formlabs #Form2 #3dprinter #3dprinting #3dprint #3dprinted #3dprints #impresora3d #3dmodel #3дпринтер #3дпечать #resin #ResinToys #SLA #makermovement #makerrevolution #makers #makersgonnamake #DIY #projects #hobby #modeling #model

Post 2 of 5. Getting to the shifter assembly was a pain in the butt.

Post 3 of 5. Debugging time. After some inspection and probing it looked like the bottom switch was not reliably being pressed when the shifter was in park. I could have bent the arm of the switch up but I opted to just replace the switch while I had the opportunity.

Post 4 of 5. The new switch fixed the issue. The part number is OMRON SS-01GL13-AQ6 and it’s less than $2.

This is awkward. I just realized I haven’t opened Blender in almost a year for the purpose of working on a design. It was about this time last year that I put my focus on finding a new job and moving back to my hometown. And even moved back, getting settled in to a new job and routine took time. But I think I’m in a better place now to work on more creative projects. Feeling a bit rusty but lets see what 2019 has in store.
