    Yea I will definitely take a copy. Do you have SolidWorks files or at least IGES or STEP? I just like to have the power of being able to change anything if I want! Instead of just getting an STL file :( like most things on thingiverse. But I know WheresWaldo has been uploading the actual CAD files to all his things.

    PM me too please D.

    One more question - how the heck do I get this LED strip to stay attached to the printer. It's fallen down and I've taken it reattached it twice. The last time with carpet tape. The carpet tape stuck great to the printer, but strip came off the carpet tape and left behind the tape...

    Am I going to have to super glue this on? Will that work? Downsides to that?

    Will do...probably just post on Thingiverse tonight as a remix of Waldos parts.

    Please refer to previous post about Duct Tape fixes everything! Hahaha!!! What about clear packaging tape? Did you wipe clean the surface before you mounted the strips originally? Mine have hung on with no issue, but I know yours are a bit different.

    Yup - wiped everything with Rubbing Alcohol before install. And that part is working because the carpet tape is stuck nicely on there, but the strip itself falls of as soon as the leds are on for a while and heat up. I think part of the issue is that I used the waterproof ones. Which are nice, but also mean that they have a protective plastic cover on them - which keeps in the heat.

    Do you have the waterproof ones or just the regular ones D?

    Loctite 406 instant adhesive. I use it for leds, 3d printed parts, glueing safety covers togather, pretty much everything.

    Welcome to the world of manual leveling.
    :)

    It bites. It is however still the best way to get the best prints consistently.

    Here are the parts I designed to work with the 10mm smooth rods. Untested...so use at your own risk.
