He created Makerbots to drive them out of their skulls.

So I got both 'bots running great with Bill's help, printed one set of bearing adapters, printed one half of another set, shut it all down and went to dinner. Came back aaaaaand-

Heated platform doesn't heat. Reading 120 kohm all the way up to where the wires vanish into the plate. LOL. Nichrome burned out or something.

I love how it has NOTHING TO DO with all the other problems. And how I did NOTHING to start it. No removing the platform, no re-leveling it, nada.  Well, I've had that nice piece of Al sitting around, waiting for me to build a lighter, quicker-heating platform. I guess I'll be doing that sooner than I thought.

(And just out of spite, I went ahead and modified the SF settings for raftless prints, and printed the other half of the bearing set anyway. It had minor warpage (ABS) but I can use it. Screw you, bot.)
