I made some good progress.
I ran through a transactional mailing with variable length records, white space records and the like. I’ve now realized there’s a serious need for sample data generators. Or, at least I think there’s a need for sample data generators. I might write something up. Or I might not. Maybe I’m worrying about things that don’t exist. Either way, I have a lot of work to do, and the more I do it, the better.
Next, I printed my homebrew test thing. I’ll post pictures at some point. It came out at nice, but the measurements weren’t 100% on. Of course, this is why I designed a test piece. I’ll need to as tensioners for the X and Y axes. Huh, axes is the plural form of axis. Weird. I printed someone else’s Y tensioner, but I don’t really like it. I’ll make my own. As it is, I didn’t see an X axis tensioner right off, and that’s the one that’s the most crap right now. The other issue I have is the texture on the bottom and top of points is similar to a scaled down picked truck diamond finish. I’m thinking that’s under extrusion. As it is, I have the Wif the test block, and she loved it.
Also on the printing front is the printing front end. I kinda want to move over to slicr rather than cura for my slicer of daily use. Because why not.
Over the next few days, I need to do a clean off the den, so I can get back to brewing, sewing, and stuff.
