Scourge of scoundrels. I work in FE (I like job, so not talking about work here). I used to hike regularly (see old blog http://aktoman.blogspot.com). Too many interests to summarise here.

It’s not like I have to be on hand lol the time. Once it kicked off, the white section finished with no interfecherence.

Glad it worked. Only 2 thin outer walls and 5% infill, but still took over 12 hours. Looks better than the stabby flat panels I printed before and are held together w blutak. So glad that talented designers share work for free online.

Lol. We found out yesterday that a spare dark green spool was actually heat-sensitive and changes colours. It settles back to dark green when cooled.
I’m thinking of using it on an art deco model if I can find one, where dress changes colour.
But no cupcakes.

No way to tell if it would work until the brim was trimmed away and base edges filed … total height 250mm, as I didn’t want to push the 256mm max Z-axis ( or Z-axis if you’re in the US).

Then the thinner, but taller, core of the tree. I added some manual colour changes, setting phone alarms to remind me.

The inner. taller, part is going to be paused for manual colour changes, obviously. And then will find out if it fits together.

This is what I went for. It is Amazon, but only discounted for their Prime customers. Same discount on the Biqu store, plus some shipping. Enough YouTubers with info on getting it working on Elegoo CC, eg reset the plate option.

Tempted by a grippier baseplate for my 3D printer I'm looking at Biqu's sale ... and then shamed into noticing how filthy the base of my coreXY printer is, when they have a 'diaper' solution for sale.
