• Had trouble printing the mouse last Friday.
  • The version that had the mounting geometry wouldn’t print, so I used the simpler version
  • That pulled up off the stage. I hot-glued it back to its raft, which helped for a while, but then the whole raft pulled away and rotated, which destroyed the print job.
  • I think the way to fix the problem with the model detaching is to add a base that will be cut away later. That will increase the contact patch.
  • I’m installing ReplicatorG, which produces the gcode for the Replicator to try to see what the deal is without going back to the lab.
  • Had to rebuild the entire model due to manifold problems. The new model does create valid gcode.
