Last night modified my Wanhao with help from izzy, now have Swiss micro hot end, glass bed, z bracing and an enclosure, a raised height spool holder to take Izzys dove tail mounting system and loose filament holder.
Can you guess what I am printing now.

I've been playing with my 0.25mm Nozzle, I'm doing a Brac dragon at 50% but I'm waiting for some more filament to finish him off, but here are a couple of my test pieces, at 50% their standard print size.

Hi Paul,
The material is FilaPrint Premium PLA Bronze Gold, availabe from 3DFilaPrint, they do international shipping, it's a great PLA at a low price. Printing some great results, I want to try my very small nozzles with it next.
The model was on MyMiniFactory, supposedly its more detailed.

You will have to reprint it then :lol:
I want to try out my 0.1mm Nozzle when I have finished off my Braq dragon at 50%.
I may try printing the Braq with the 0.1 nozzle, but I don't think I can find elastic cord small enough to assemble it, I may just have to glue it together as a fixed position, or try a fine copper wire.

Done a bunch of improvements to my UMO++ lately...and currently printing a lot of parts for the #gudoZGE. Will update my thread here with a bunch of photos soon. But for now here's what I have printed and mounted so far :)

Pff been so busy the last weeks... We built our house as a turnkey solution but I had no clue how much work remains after they are "finished" with it.

Guys I need your advice: I'm demo'ing my 2 3D printers on a kids-tech-happening this weekend and the previous years I've always had them printing something that took about 30 minutes a piece. I've gotten some remarks from the kids that they don't see much happening. I'd like to use a smaller model this time. Something that prints in a matter of minutes but still speaks to the kids. (as in no cube or something). Do you guys have any suggestions?

Been there, done that...although I also finished painting/wallpapers/floors in the whole house except for the "wet" rooms...and built a garage. 6 yrs later there are still things that are not finished...and with two young kids and a wife...there isn't much room for once own projects :P
