Going to pop this onto a printer and will start printing some brutal filaments ASAP!

Basically this allows me to get baseline values for just how much pres...

CAD is opening up some new tests and soon I’ll have a CFM tester as well but until then I’m going to finish designing a poor man’s tester and get some physical results.
Stay tuned!

It’s been a rough time getting these 3 main projects finished and ready but they are done.
1. Finished the stock MK3s+ but it needs a lot of tuning which will begin ASAP.
So far so good in the land of pellet printing. It took a while to get it working and to figure out the feeder system but it works and I couldn’t be happier right now. A months work of pondering, ...

All the hard work paid off and it fits perfectly. Now time to wire this up and have it working so I can play with pellets instead of filament.
