We’ve got the four-color FDM printer offline for maintenance (it’s failed to complete its last four prints, mostly due to filament jams during filament changes and losing z-axis accuracy in the process of resuming the print) but we’re printing another huge Keshi Filibus on the OrangeStorm Giga over here: https://communitymedia.video/w/aNHhQV2ThVFMC4ehpbiXuR

and my diagnostic stream for the lasers I tried to get focused this morning is here: https://communitymedia.video/w/aNHhQV2ThVFMC4ehpbiXuR

(for the record, the laser in the upper left appears to be well focused and is ablating the aluminum in ways I’d expect for a successful run; the laser in the lower right appears to need another round of calibration, but imma let it run in case I’m wrong and being overly judgemental)

I’ll be pulling the Kobra 3 apart in various ways this coming week to try and diagnose, troubleshoot and resolve the issues it is having, but Andrew also pre-ordered a Snapmaker U1 this morning to replace the Kobra 3 when it comes to multi-color printing since its filament swap system is (a) way faster and (b) seems a more reliable design (not to mention (c) produces way less wasted filament along the way (he says, mentioning the very thing)) so that will join the robotic fleet come mid-April.
