This week I made a lampshade. Seems mundane, I know, and it isnt as fancy as MBI's python lampshade generator, but it works, and I am pretty pleased with the results. It has crossed my mind to do an in depth research project on it, but I have to put it on the back burner for now.
Right at the end of my lampshade print my Makerbot decided to eat itself. Apparently the setscrew on the rear electronics side z pully had come loose and that rod had just been freewheeling for the last several layers. At the time I didnt know this, all I knew was my z platform bound at the last two layers.
Tighten the setscrew, level the z platform, rediscover zero, and lets find something else to print!
