My build (very slowly progressing)
-
Hello! I'll try to document my building experience here while I impatiently wait for parts to arrive. This is mostly to document and motivate myself to continue. Don't expect super interesting stuff in here.After having ordered most of the material from aliexpress and amazon.de, I finally got around printing the endplates yesterday. I opted for PLA on my old ender 3. As described in the docs I went for the 60% infill and managed to produce some pretty decent parts. The layer height of 0.25 looks good too. Each plate took around 1h30 on this antique machine. There might have been a tiny bit of warping on one edge but I hope it won't be enough to cause issues.
Anyways, I still need to print the arduino case and the stand (which I might modify in order to use less material). On the ordering front, I still need to order most reagents from synthetica and some PP-filament.

@sepi Thanks a lot for sharing! It is always exciting to see people start building their kits. So far you have done a great job, let us know if you make any other parts or if you need any additional guidance in the process.

So I mades some progress. I finished the raspi case without much fuss (although I must say it could be designed to use a bit less plastic). The button does not work, it's just a tiny bit short. Maybe because my UNO is super old and used a different button.
I also received some tubing by Camoer but unfortunately I ordered the variant without PTFE inner lining. Apparently I can still use it for cycling until capacity of 50%. Let's see if I can get the correct one quickly enough.
I also received my first baggy of ... KI from amazon. The rest of the chemicals are coming from some dutch web shop. And finally, the gasket 0.5 silikone film arrived. I tried manually cutting gaskets, with more or less succes.
Only testing can tell of it will work :).
They align ok, but I'm not really sure what will be important in the end.
