Wait, is worf a bad dad? I’m not super deep in the fandom…

Looks excellent!

I might be your sister 😐

Sure thing ☺️ hope you have a good one!

It wasn’t hempcrete they used (there’s a note about the article being edited) and the article says that it performed appropriately in the lab, and they chose to tear it down because once built it didn’t meet the requirements they had established in the lab it should be able to meet

You wanna be mindful to get the plane that the hot end moves around on parallel with the bed as best as possible. Software leveling and adjustment are nice, but starting with something very parallel is a whole lot better.

And if you have the option I’d consider using precision rails instead of steel rods for movement in the x/y axis, you can get cheap ones from like Ali express but they’ll be better for print precision.

With the hypercube we built at my last job, we were building a second printer but with rails instead of rods and my boss said he was way happier with the result, and we spent a while re-leveling the extruded aluminum pieces that our rails (that the hot end moved along) were mounted to, and that also helped.

Regardless, its better not to worry too much and just get started. I’m really bad about trying to perfect things or get everything just right right off the bat when I’d be better served by just starting and then figuring things out from there
