RepRap Operator's Log

When you use the RepRap, please add notes here. Newest at top.
- Nov 27, 2010. (Elliot) I finally got up the courage/stupidity to completely remove, disassemble, clean, and re-install the hot end on the reprap extruder. Photos and documentation are at [Rebuilding the RepRap Hot End]. The short version is that now it's nicely free-flowing and the extrusion speed is limited by the motor (slow!). I also added a 100k thermistor taped to the nozzle (a la makerbot) but I don't know how to re-integrate it into the machine. I also may have left too much of the insulation near the nozzle. If it tears/drags, feel free to trim it.
