Spent all weekend assembling this Core One. It probably took 14 hours in total. 12 hours to build and 2 hours to troubleshoot issues. Broke some parts made some mistakes but I finished the build.

      I’m not going to say it was smooth sailing but I think I’m through the rough waters. This past day I’ve been printing basically non-stop and every print has been pretty much flawless.

      The days before this though I had:

      • Diagnose z-axis movement issues.
      • Accidentally printed PETG onto the smooth bed plate. (I knew this was bad but I just assumed it was bad adhesion, I didn’t realize the problem was the opposite LOL)
      • Broke the belt tension adjustment piece and had to drill holes into it to remove it and replace it with a piece I printed with PETG.
      • Diagnose a “ghost clog” where I took off the nozzle, found no clog, took apart the nextruder and found nothing and realized at the end it was bad filament.
