More printed objects

I tried printing a couple more objects today.

I managed to get a complete MakerBot coin printed.  It looks pretty good.  After that, I tried to print a dodecahedron.  Unfortunately, the machine stopped extruding part way through the print each time I tried.

I think the extruder motor keeps going, but the pulley digs a notch into the filament instead of moving it.  I might try tightening the idler wheel a bit, but I'm wary of breaking it.  Maybe I should check that the extruder is still hot when it stops extruding; if for some reason it's cooling off, that would certainly make the filament too hard to extrude.

Here's the completed MakerBot coin, and a partial dodecahedron:

For 온라인카지노 the sake of accuracy, zero spiel, although explained beneath, isn't a French wager, it is more precisely "the German wager". The sequence are based mostly on the best way|the method in which} sure numbers lie next to each other|to one another} on the roulette wheel. Not all casinos supply these bets, and some could supply additional bets or variations on these. The Reverse Martingale betting technique follows comparable guidelines to the Martingale technique, however in reverse. Instead of doubling your wager whenever you lose a hand, it is elevated whenever you win. This provides the benefit of|the good thing about|the advantage of} minimizing the damage whenever you lose.
