The printer is now in it's new home but I'll need to fix the Extruder, and I want to fit the BLTouch bed sensor, before I do any printing

Replacement parts are on the way; should be arriving tomorrow.

Decided to go with a dual gear extruder to make filament use more accurate, and some LED lights for inside of the enclosure so I can keep it lit while working.

I'm going to put a Raspberry Pi in with it, running OctoPrint, with a camera for monitoring and running the prints.

Haven't got everything for the printer BUT I have fitted a string of LEDs to the top of the printer enclosure frame for some light inside it, and strapped a webcam to the top so I can keep an eye on prints using OctoPrint!

The rest of the 3D printer parts arrive today, so I'll be working on getting them all fitted tonight/tomorrow!

I'll get some test prints done over a few days and then onto printing the Tali helmet!

Seriously I can't stop thinking about making this Tali cosplay, haha *^^*

BLTouch sensor and dual gear extruder fitted! Also set up Debian on an old thin client to be the local access point for Octoprint, and maybe for other things too!

3D printing itself has been a little delayed as I'm going to a BBQ this weekend (with a three hour trip each way, lol) and I'm going to be dying my hair again tonight!

Got a new motherboard for the 3D printing arriving today and that'll need firmwwre compiled for it.

If all goes well then I can start printing again on Sunday!
