About a week ago Nicholas ordered a 3d printer from a company called Creality. Yesterday it arrived in a FedEx truck, and
when he opened it everything was there. It came with instructions on how to build it. It took him about half an hour to an hour until he was finished. This is Nicholas's second 3d printer, so he was able to set it up pretty quickly. The first print was a calibration cube was to make sure everything was working (which only took about 20 minutes to make.) The second print, which was a piece for a gun holster that he was printing, didn't go too well. It was printing for about 4 hours and was about to finish a platform when the platform started to warp. He stopped the print and reprinted it that night. In the morning it was finished and none of the print warped. The reason was that the printer defaults were set to start printing in the middle and printed outwards rather than start from the side. In some of these pictures, you will see a screen. The screen (which is for the SD card) shows you how hot the bed is, how hot the extruder is, how long it's been printing for and how fast it is going, you can control the speed with the knob. Here are the pictures of him building the 3d printer and of it printing.
