We have a winner!

The winner of first-in-from-AliExpress competition is item no 3 on my orders list. Some M3 cap screws which were not available in the other store where I ordered all other screws.

These items were ordered on 2 May and dispatched on 4th, so a bit over three weeks for delivery. Pretty normal, I'd say. According to the tracking information the package arrived to Finland already on 22nd, 5 days before delivery.

Somewhat interesting detail is the package label heading, which is in Finnish.

New order placed: Raspberry Pi 4 from The Pi Hut. My old webcam is some crappy Logitech with a resolution only of 640x480 so I decided to get also a camera module for RPi from The Pi Hut.

I decided to go cheap and selected non-tracked standard shipping. Let's see when the shipment arrives.

Order status page updated, too.

Parts already printed

During the last couple of weeks I have been steadily printing parts for Voron 2.4. Here is my progress so far.

These are mainly Z motor and Z idler parts:

Some parts for the gantry: A/B motor parts, a lot of parts which I have no idea what they are, extruder and hotend parts.

And some red parts. These I may have to reprint and during the last 2 millimeters the printer decided to shift the remaining layers a bit. Or  I just may try to hammer them into place.

Most of the X carriage parts have been printed now. This certainly is an interesting piece to assemble. Parts seem to fit surprisingly well.

These I need to print more. I bought some DIN rail from a local hardware store and wanted to see how well printed DIN brackets work.

Not all prints are successful. Apparently I messed with some incorrect settings in Cura slicer and that didn't end well. This happens when infill print speed is accidentally set twice as high as the recommended value for my printer (Geeetech i3) is:

Digikey shipment

Digikey shipment was the first one to arrive. Their have a free shipping for orders over 65 € and yet the order is shipped via UPS or similar. It took only a few days the get the stuff from them from US to Finland. Amazing. So, now I have some electronics: 24V, 12V and 5V power supplies, solid state relay, microswitches, a diode and a connector kit.

I hate this...

I really hate it when this happens.

Steppers are here

These just arrived!
