4 months in 6 minutes

Just posted a little video that you might 9or might not) like. Essentially it condenses the 4 months of my new printer build, from concept through design, manufacture and assembly to working machine, into 6 minutes. https://youtu.be/RIbBNycWSIw

@deckingman The whole project went way to fast.
What do you print with this machine now?
Often, a new printer is used to print parts for it's clones if there is enough interest from others. But the all_metall approach makes it difficult to reprap your machine.Maybe design a mostly printed CNC next, that would close the circle

That's one benefit of being retired and not having to find time for a day job.

Currently I'm mostly printing Hydroponics/Aeroponics towers (another hobby I've recently picked up). This sort of thing
Obviously not the black tank and not all in one print. The parts are modular, about 230mm tall and slot together.
I'm also playing around with flexible filaments and making bracelets for my grand daughter. The LGX Ace should be good for flexibles because it has a very short filament path from the extruder outlet to the (Mosquito) hot end inlet. But I'm still dialling that in.

Yes, it most definitely isn't a Reprap. I'm still debating whether to sell my lathe and milling machine. Now that the printer is finished, I have no use for them and the money and space would come in handy. But who knows what the future holds so it might be a decision that I come to regret.
