New printer!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Hello! I am writing to you from room 461 of the Jepson Science Center, wherein I have been calibrating and testing Rebecca\u2019s Anycubic Mega X large-format printer for the past hour or so. I wasn\u2019t able to print on it last week because someone ran away with the SD card that had the calibration gcode file on it, but I am now printing \u201cowl_pair.stl\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I started the print for the first time, the extruder was pretty far from the bed, but I didn\u2019t know that at the time, so I consulted my 3D printing friend from Pennsylvania. He informed me that the culprit was most likely an unleveled bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had never really manually leveled a bed before, as the PRUSAs in the DKC calibrate themselves. It took a few minutes, and numerous Google searches (numerous = 2 Google searches), but I found a video that walked me through leveling Anycubic printers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I stuck a piece of paper under the extruder nozzle, and raised the bed until the paper was pinched between the bed and the nozzle, as the video instructed. I did this on all four corners a few times, and then started the print. 30 minutes in, the owls look pretty cute! (Well the logs they are sitting on do, at least.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll be back in on Friday to HOPEFULLY begin printing off the 3 pieces of the drones I have modeled. Wish me luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alexandergluchowski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_8209-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-333\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
