RoboSculptor makes its first print!

Today I finally found the time to get the RoboSculptor up and running. I made a couple basic print runs utilizing the typical 20mm x 20mm x20mm calibration cube.



The first print run was sliced with Skeinforge. The print was successful, though some tweaking of the slicer profile is necessary. There are some thin layers due to inadequate filament feed.


The second print run was sliced with Slic3r. The filament feed seems adequate, though the nozzle was calibrated too far from the print bed and the first layers of the cube are distorted.



Also I may have a problem with my Z axis. There may be too much wobble due to my design of the Z axis. Though, there may be other issues at hand, this will have to be investigated in the future. Overall, a great start!
