Hi All,
I was asked to show my printer.
It is a CR-10 S4
It is 27"D x 23"W x 24"T over all.
The blue flat area is the print bed, it is almost 16" x 16", It has a metal heated bed with a piece of glass
on top of that, a light blue mat that you can buy to help prints stick to the bed, It only worked so so for me and then
there is blue painters tape on top. The painters tape works very well to hold the object but then also releases it easily
when finished printing. Some people also use hair spray, stick glue and all kinds of other messy things, those are not for me
though. The ho scale B unit is there to show the size of the print area. Since I like O scale as well, this size will be handy.
From this point of view, the print bed moves left and right on rails while printing
The print head is the box that you can see a black cord and a white tube coming out of just above the right end of the B unit.
This is were the filament is extruded from. The print head moves left and right along the rail behind it and that rail moves up and
down on both ends of it while printing. It will print almost 16" high.
The spool behind the print head holds the filament so that it feeds smoothly. A good brand of filament is a must for good prints.
Filament should be left in it's package until needed to protect it from humidity.
The box with my humidity and temp. gage sitting on it is the brains of the operation. It has a digital read out that you can see lit up
on the left. it is a one button push and rotate to select kind of operation, It is a very simple interface. You can use a micro SD card
to load your prints or you can connect to your PC via a USB cable.
I hope you like my setup.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Thanks for looking.

That probably wouldn't be too difficult, actually...
