It has around 1400 hours. When I moved the prints to the corners of the plate, the grinding noise went away, but after cleaning the rods, it still happened in the center with artifacts in the print.

I believe it was wear and tear. Printing a LOT of circular objects in the center of the plate seemed to do it. I never got a maintenance request from the printer to clean the rails, which was what I was expecting at some point!

Don't do it if you don't have to!!! If it's making a grinding noise and you see weird artifacts in your prints, you may have to.

It's a labor of love, I guess.. 🤣

My most favorite tv show of all time!! Beautiful job!!

Yeah, it hasn't been super fun. I love to tinker, but this one was a little frustrating. Getting the drive belts out of the print head was a nightmare.

Is this a SG Atlantis reference?

Thanks Miles! Yeah, I always make my designs with minimal color changes in mind. It wastes too much time and filament otherwise.

Those are always fun!

Thanks Miles! They were fun to design and make!

Interesting idea!

Nice!!

Thanks Sugoi! They took a lot of trial and error to get to the final product.

That's awesome man!
