Re: Landing craft, quad sized.

BLUF; I ended up going with the Specmar 18.5 foot aluminum landing craft I linked in my initial post. I mentioned this briefly in my cabin thread down in The Bilge, but I thought I would follow up here just to close the loop on this thread, now that I have made my decision. As described elsewhere, l...

Well, turns out I was wrong about the Trident being faster with the bigger HF nozzle anyway, it had just seemed like it was screaming along. But the 24 still has a bit of an edge. Lots of artifacts on the print at those speeds without input shaping running as well. If you are going to take me up on ...

One observation of the new machine, is that while the toolheads and X-Y motion system are basically the same, the kit for the Trident came with the "high flow" version of the the Revo hot end, which wasn't available yet when I bought the 2.4 stuff. I have the parts to convert the 2.4 to hi...

https://www.rawlinsbrothers.org/3dprint/trident/trident1.jpg The new Voron Trident "Beta" (the Voron 2.4 is "Frost"... Somebody here may get the reference). Bought the kit for this a year ago but have not had time to get it built until recently. I still have some tweaking to do,...

Re: VG23 New Build

The Tally Ho build on YouTube initially had plastic tanks fabricated by a professional shop, and they had problems with them. They went with welded metal tanks, in the end.

Re: Boat Builder Central Update

I first saw the thread title, and with the recent hurricanes feared the worst. But great news, and congratulations to you both. And good on everybody who has been involved with the company past and present, for building it into something worthy of the next generation spending their life carrying on.

(because I can't get the First Bank of Wife to approve the Voron). While I think the Voron kits are the best way to go, you can also just take the BOM and self source the individual parts. You've got a parts/maintenance budget for your existing stuff, right? And Enders are notoriously troublesome; ...
