Hmm, it looks like a steampunk time machine? :scratch: :) |

It's an125 year-old steam engine design by BeuchampTower (http://www.douglas-self.com/MUSEUM/POWER/tower/tower.htm) . It was one of the first engines that I animated for Doug's site and have wanted to build one ever since. Machining one on the gear I have would be a major problem but , with the advent of 3d printing it should be relatively easy . Bill |

Added a heated bed , which seems to work ok after a bit of tinkering. It managed a long over night print ok (-ish, stil the odd blob of black snot from somewhere) of a de walt battery adapter. But, two attempts printing the first part of my engine (the large circluar seperator plate) have failed after 3 hours with a 'bed thermal runaway error ' - I don't think that this is the actual problem but a consequence of power failure again PITA! |
| BillTodd:
aarrrggghhhh!!!! Just tried to print the same model again, this time i got to it as it stopped - temperatures were fine , the motors were stationary while the x& y numbers on screen changed so.... Is there anything in g code that can stop the motors or swtch off the power? |

None that the slicing software would put there. |
