Ok, this will be the giveaway as to what it is...
Partially assembled...
and
and
and the rats nest of wiring that needs to be tidied up...
And here it is in action.
Worst part of the assembly was peeling off the paper on the acrylic parts. If not for that it would've been assembled in a couple of hours, instead it took 3-4 hours - there was A LOT of peeling.
The wiring is partially cleaned up. The other day I saw a project on Thingiverse for taming wiring, a cable chain. So I printed the two ends and one link of the chain. The one link I'll make a mold of and pour a bunch of - a lot quicker that way. Still have to figure out how to tame the wiring for the heated bed. There's not enough room for a chain so there's just a piece of that wrap around plastic coily stuff on it. A little stiffer than I want and will eventually break the wiring off from it.
But it's a new tool for the collection. Next is a CNC PCB router, then a 3D Scanner, then either an upgrade to this printer or make a new one for a tri color print head I have coming for it. It'll mix the colors in the nozzle so a full color print can be done.
