Tags: hardware 3d printing furniture

The cabinet is done! The lighting works, the interior looks good. Now that I have this big block of enclosed air, its time to put a 3D printer in there!

The box has been sitting there staring at me for months now.

The haribo bears as well.

I've never assembled a 3D printer before. It took me about 12 hours in total. And that wasn't 12 hours on-and-off. It was a fully locked-in 12 hours of assembly and calibration.

For the first run, I made a dual-material Benchy! This was also my first use of PrusaSlicer, having only used Cura in the past.

No amount of the tinkering and retries on borrowed cheap 3D printers that I did in the past came close to producing the quality of the very first print I got with this printer. I'd say thats a good sign!
