Day 8: Doggo

Today, we spent a lot of time fine tuning, test printing, and working on our presentation. We were able to print out a range of things today on both of the Reprap Prusa i3 printers including a plane and a dog along with most of our heads printed out on the school's printer. It has been a very interesting journey in order to get to where we are today. We've gone from doing the macro fixes such as assemblage of the larger pieces and wiring the mother board, all the way to the micro fixes such as getting a paper thin space between the hot plate and the extruder.

Our presentation is finished as of today as we finished up the last few loose ends and assigned parts to different team members. Sadly we had to restart, but things ended up going well.

The delta has also been coming along in a good manner as well. We were able to print some of the Eiffel Tower on it, before it was accidentally interrupted from printing (but Andrew was able to print one successfully). All printers have had small issues, but we seem to be ironing out the final issues with the printers.  It is saddening to think that A-term will be ending tomorrow, but it has been fun while it lasted and it was very interesting and educating.
