Hi all; Got a wierd F6 result. I've added two more modules outside the main tray for a backup system I'm building. I had to remove the part and print it separately because my printer does NOT do bridges. Grrr. In the F6 render of this the image there is a 4 pack of, one set inside cutouts in the tray floor, and one set outside the tray, with if() statements controlling, so there are actually 6 calls to this submodule in the code. There is no "color" set for this submodule, and its straw colored for an F5 render.  The same code is used to make the rectangular cutout in the green side rails by a difference. This latch is then inserted in that cutout, with its triangular tip locking it into a drive cage. What is the lime green color trying to tell me? Thanks all.

But I had had the hot end apart, fixing a leak, and this print was the first I had measured the layer1 and actually got .2mm, which made the fit an rch looser, so this one needed some superglue to assemble it correctly. Hint: Leak fixing in this case was removing the "carbide tipped" nozzle, burning it clean on the gas cookstove, the chucking it in a drill chuck so it runs true, then spinning it on a 1000 grit diamond plate at a 5 degree angle to shape a cone on the top of the nozzle until only the ring around the entrance was left at about .1mm wide, increasing the contact pressure on that tiny area when tightened up at 290C and 2NM.  You can't do this to a hot end using the std square alu hot block as 2NM will pull the threads out of the alu.  I make, from parts I get online, my own ejector/hotend combo's. I probably have $3k in an Ender 5 Plus,  OOTB ran at 20 mm/sec, now runs at 250mm/sec.  Handles polycaronate like it is PLA.  Prints that pix in PETG in about 50 minutes. > Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET. > > > _______________________________________________ > OpenSCAD mailing list > To unsubscribe send an email to discuss-leave@lists.openscad.org Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
