Take a look at what we’ve got running in the printer!

We finally got a crossover cable so that we can hook our dedicated computer and get some of our own .stl files printed! We ran a few default test files to be sure the machine worked, was calibrated, etc, but here’s the first experiments with uploading content of our own creation. Look familiar?

Update: If you want to skip the process, you can go ahead and see the finished product! It printed beautifully, and was the easiest of all the prints so far to remove from the support material base. There were no hangups with our file creation, and even with the interface in Spanish, Matt was able to get it going quickly and easily. Now for something a little more complex, as we continue exploring the magic of additive manufacturing!
