Evolution of a Blog

This blog has evolved as I have as a maker. It starts at the beginning of my journey where I began to re-tread my tires in the useful lore of micro electronics and the open-source software that can drive them. While building solutions around micro-electronics are still an occasional topic my more recent focus has been on the 3D Printing side of making.

3D Printing Challenge

Every once in awhile something stumps me with my printers.  This is a test print of some tiny little reinforcing panels for one of my bridge designs.  The little dots are meant to be bolts or rivets.  The print is done using a 250 micron nozzle and 125 micron layers in PLA.

The panels printed at top, in normal orientation are fine, but the ones that are rotated by 45 degrees are not.  I suspect this is a belt tension issue but am not sure!
