Elizabeth K. JosephI've begun assembly of my 3D printed index typewriter, but I have to go back to work tomorrow so this is going to take a while 😅
Some of my helpers on this 3d printed #typewriter project are more helpful than others.
There's a reason we don't make screws from plastic (PLA+) 😅
I appreciate the effort to make as much of this index #typewriter 3d printed as possible, but the mix of 3d printed hex screws and 3d printed holes? More than a couple stripped screws. Had to get out the pliers.
This evening's dilemma: "Hey yeah, I wedged these in real good... But are they supposed to be free-moving?"
Yes.
Had a bit of trouble printing the Paper Guide, even when we used glue on the plate, so MJ went with a big ole brim. That did it.
Continuing to make progress on the 3d-printed Index #typewriter! I have completed most of the baseplate assembly and I've made progress on the carriage.
My current impasse might take some time to overcome though, since we have a few more parts to print, but there's a clogged component in our AMS that needs to be looked at 😱

@Bashingom Yep! Thankfully 3 of the 4 pieces survived me dislodging them, the 4th needs to be reprinted.

@scottbeamer it's a 3d printed "comb" component of an index typewriter I'm building
