Ruth's Owls

24/6/2012

Ruth has need asking me for her owl. The first one was given to Alicia. After spending several hours disassembling the printer to realign the axes, I started printing the pair of owls that was posted on Thingiverse.

Almost there. Now printing the hat for the male.

The back.

This side is the side that has lots of "hair". Very tedious to clean up.
I stated the job at about 12am and ended almost 3.30am.

This morning, Ruth came excitedly into my room while I was semi conscious. She asked if the owls are hers. Of course darling, they are. She readily accepted them despite me telling her the mishap on the hat. She said that she views that as a designer hat... Sweet Ruth...

I'm now on to making replacement parts for the printer. Maybe build one to give away.

GeneK, are you interested in the Portabee?

Wong, of course I'm interested. I'm still trying to get my head around this stuff, and you are encouraging to see your successes with some of the problems as well.
My wife will be gone for another month and I am trying to use the time to move things around to get room in my shop again.

GeneK,

Not much space needed for the Portabee. It is very small.

I just printed the X carriage but encountered problem in the ball bearing clamping portion the part that is supposed to be split sticked together. Trying to separate broke the entire piece...

While you get organized, I'll experiment with the settings to make it right.

By the way, it will be in blue... ;-)

Wong, blue is fine, i do like it. But one time my wife had been collecting blue shirts at various sales (she loves Salvation Army and Good will shops). I opened the closet and every shirt in the closet was blue!
I'm working on a new batch of summer sausage right now, then back to the sorting out.
