I’m close to finishing a slow build of the LR3. This will replace my modified Primo for instrument carving, and the Primo will be rebuilt to its original form factor because I feel sad about it.
At every turn, I’m impressed with the ingenuity of the design. I try to feed the belts around the stepper gear wishing that I could just push it through and back, and low and behold the part accommodates. Folding the belt back on itself to bind it into the tensioner. Setting tension by 1/16th of a tooth is just how the gantry belt is designed. Parts print cleanly by design without support. It builds its own parts.
This is just a hobby for me. I’m a software engineer by profession, and this makes me a better engineer. Keep up the good work.
