It has been a while

Haven't been printing a lot smaller since my last post.
Here are some things that I have printed.
First picture is a part of a house. The second picture is a magic wand.

Upgrade #5 vibration

Quick update I put some rubber between the stepper motors and the frame to reduce noise caused by the vibration of the motors.

Upgrade #2 upgraded (again)

Because my previous version of the cooling started to melt away I made a new cooling unit.
This version is more compact and of course doesn't melt.
In the picture you can see two versions the one on the right is final version. The top of the cooling unit is covered with a layer of aluminium foil to reflect heat from the print head.

Upgrade #4 PLA -> ABS

Because of the high bed temperature the PLA parts of the y-carriage started to melt. This meant that I had to replace the PLA parts.
