Now that I've got those key soft-parts sewed up, I'm trying to get back into Blender and the actual armour design.
Can't seem to get the right creative juices flowing on it. Trying different things and nothing is really sparking for me.
Also in tracking down the latest glitchy behaviour of my 3d printer, I discovered the nozzle had become partially unscrewed at some point, causing PLA to ooze out of the screw-threads, and glob inside the rubber heat protection all around the upper half of the nozzle, the heat block itself, and around the thermistor and wires.
Joy.
Edit: And yep, also looks like the threads in the hotend are buggered. Tried putting in a replacement nozzle and it gets 3/4 in and then spins freely rather than tightening.
Now I need to get a new hotend for the printer. Although since it's 3 years old there's a certain element that is tempted to upgrade to a new printer as is...
