Ouch, I reckon kilowatts are a lot cheaper! I missed that minor price difference. :bugeye: |

The kiln will take it there easily, so it's really a win win situation. I've seen a couple of articles on lost PLA casting, I'm looking forward to seeing your results!

Well Matthew it's certainly a lot more accessible now the kiln it out of the way ! Are we going to see you this Christmas ? |
| mattinker:
Well, I'm coming over from the 22nd to the first, so we should be able to get over to see you some time then! I'll PM you nearer the time! Cheers, Matthew |

So I've now fitted the proper Commando input socket - underneath so that if necessary the kiln can go flat against a wall. Petew will be pleased to see that those ceramic stand off insulators have cleaned up nicely :ddb: Not sure quite yet where it is going to live long term :scratch: |
