Fired up the new forge today to test it out. 5 minutes and the thermocouple was reading 853c right before it melted. I would say it works. #blacksmithing

The new forge has arrived. Just waiting on the right adaptor for the gas then I can get back to doing some metal work.

No worries. Hope you get it fixed quickly and easily

At a guess. It is probably the distance between the nozzle and bed for the first layer. It will be too high and the extruded filament is not been pressed onto the bed to stick.
I would check the gap and relevel calibrate the bed.
At least that was the problem. When something similar happened to me.

I was once very tempted by official history of the war between the states written in 1880ish that they had. I just didn't know where I could store 78 volumes 🧐

That will be the one. They have a great selection of military history books.

Spent the afternoon at the Australian Defence Force Academy open day. The photo is of the new recee vehicle on the left next to the M1A2 MBT. It seems strange that the recee vehicle is bigger than the tank.

Just finished setting up the table for some #battletech alpha strike on the weekend. All that time printing and painting terrain has finally paid off. #wargaming #nerdlings

I am just grateful that I will be playing socially with mates and not competitively. There is no way my wallet could handle that. πŸ€‘
I feel for my boys who are desperate for their own armies, but the pocket money won't stev that far.

Thanks. I don't normally either but I am relapsing after 15 years.
