Possible Grinding Problem?

New Possible Grinding Problem Gallery Added!

New Possible Grinding Problem Gallery Added!

It's been a while since I posted anything.  I have been busy at work and trying to finish a project for a friend.  But now I am back, so here is more from the backlog.

I have added a gallery about a possible grinding issue I have noticed.  It seems something plastic above the right stepper motor is being (or has been) ground down a bit. 

The gallery images are from a while ago, but currently it does not seem like the black particles have increased very much.  So I hope this issue will settle (or has settled) down and not be a problem I have to deal with.

Anyway, if there are any new developments on this issue.  I will update the gallery.

Enjoy!

Some Shots of Good Feeder Tension

New Good Feeder Tension Gallery Added!

New Good Feeder Tension Gallery Added!

More from the backlog.

I have added a gallery called Good Feeder Tension.  In it, I have attempted to capture what good tension on the feeder of my Ultimaker 2 looks like.

There is not much there right now, but I think I have succeeded. :)

Some Early Fun with Spools

Fun with Spools Gallery Added!

Fun with Spools Gallery Added!

More from the backlog.

I have just add a gallery called Fun with Spools.  So, for most desktop 3D printing, the plastic you use comes in spools of plastic filament.  This gallery is for whenever I play around with the spools themselves.

There is not much there right now, just a few comparisons between spools.  But I expect more fun spooliness in the future. :D

3D Printing Cat Toys - First Attempts

New 3D Printed Cat Toy Gallery

New 3D Printed Cat Toy Gallery

I keep chugging along with my 3D printing backlog of stuff to share.  I have just added a Cat Toys gallery with some very early shots of a cat toy I have printed.  It is in the 3D Printing section.

The toy provides a pretty good bed adhesion and overhangs test, and the cats really enjoy the toys, even if they did not print (or photograph) well. :)

The pictures and videos are all pretty bad.  I was just getting started both with 3D Printing and with photography/videography.  I have learned a lot since then.  The videos are also all in my 3D Printing playlist on my YouTube channel.

So, if you want to see bad photography of bad 3D printing of a neat and weird cat toy, go check out the new gallery. ;)  Whenever I make other cat toys, I will add their stories there too.

Enjoy!

Catching Up on Backlog: Bed Levelling

New Bed Levelling Gallery Added

New Bed Levelling Gallery Added

Well, it seems I have a lot of backlog to caught up with.  Lots of things to add to this site already.

To get started, I have added a Bed Levelling gallery in the 3D Printing section.  As I try different things related to levelling the print bed on my Ultimaker 2, I will add the results to that gallery.

Currently there is just a single video.  It is the first video I have ever added to this site and only the second video I have ever added to YouTube. :)

Enjoy!

It has begun! :)  I have started putting up pictures and videos of my 3D printing escapades.  The first instalment in this story is the unboxing of my new Ultimaker 2 and doing my first print(s).

First Post - Welcome!

Hi there!

Welcome to my brand new website and blog.  My name is JustKrys and I will be your guide on this grand adventure that is my life. ... (Okay, that was cheesy.) :)

Basically, this site and this blog are a place where I can share my passions and interests with others (like you!).  It gives me a voice and a home on the web for whenever I have the occasion and desire to share my thoughts.

Currently, my interests are with my new 3D Printer, the robot I built not long ago and still need to program, along with Minecraft and, of course, coding.  I will be expanding out the site over the next while to highlight and talk about these topics and more.

If any of this sounds interesting to you, please feel free to subscribe and share my adventures with me.

Thanks for the interest!  No go explore! :D
