Not for one area of a print...either a bad STL file or the program that makes the gcode used by the printer did something odd. 3d printing is just voodoo with instructions. Love to see it and don't mind printing a correct one in exchange. Lots of folks are using that sled/bezzel from thingiverse and I am curious how it can get off.
Happy birthday Mike and shynsly!!!
Happy Birthday to everyone who has/had birthdays in this room recently and possible near future!
And hope they don't move right back in! When it was time for my daughter to go off to college we packed her truck and our car and drove her two hours out to RIT, spent the day getting her set up and expected we wouldn't see her for at least a month. The very next day she walked through the door with a basket of laundry! She left the laundry with her mother, went to see some friends, comes back, picks up the laundry stopping by the kitchen to top the basket off with food.
You expected different? You fool. LOLAnd hope they don't move right back in!

I really did, I thought she would be so happy to be free from Mom and Dad that we wouldn't see her until she started running low on cash LoL.
Finished up my 1590A build last night, well there are a couple minor touch up's but it's fully assembled, up and running. I'm happy with the results, happy to have a smaller mod but I wouldn't want to build another one any time soon. Even with a small 800 mAh battery real estate is slim and it was tedious work that tried my patience's more then once, using 12 ga silicone wire for the outputs really added to the challenge but I wanted this one done right.
A couple things became very apparent, having a temp control soldier station, assortment of tips, quality flux and solder really makes the job easier and does such a nice job. Helping hands is a must to hold the board and the wire in place during the soldering and keeping anything from moving during the process including cool down of the solder, there is no way to feed solder and get a quality joint if you anything other then solder in one hand and wand in the other. I was very pleased with the soldering I was able to do even with the 12 ga wire, in a lot of ways soldering is a lot like welding, heat, create a puddle and feed wire/solder to the joint.
I need some advice, those cheap alligator helping hands are causing me frustration, I need something better without breaking the bank. I don't need top of the line, I'm looking for something cheap but better then these, suggestions?
