I learned today…

  1. You can burn your fingers on stepper motors.
  2. My extruder has a problem.

Explanation:
The extruder from Wolfgang is translating many steps into a few powerful ones by using gears.
The problem is that the small gear on the motor’s shaft is only fixed by a small  headless screw
which becomes loose after a while.
This just happened during a very complicated print, which of course went wrong because of it.
Also because I’m not possessing my own set of compatible screw drivers for this kind of screw
I’ll have to wait until my colleague who has this kind of equipment has finished his last exam tomorrow.
Just when it started to be fun printing things… I really have to work on my Karma as it seems.
