Spent all weekend assembling this Core One. It probably took 14 hours in total. 12 hours to build and 2 hours to troubleshoot issues. Broke some parts made some mistakes but I finished the build.

    I don’t know how critical this part is but if it sees any kind of load, re-pint in abs/ASA or better. Petg and PLA creep under consent load.

      It’s pretty critical. It holds one of the pulleys that the belt is attached to. The belt moves the print head in the x/y axis. I actually did print the part in PETG. Hopefully it just works and I won’t have to touch it for a year :D

        You will definitely want to reprint it in something else while the printer is working. Otherwise you’re going to see dimensional accuracy issues crop up over time that require you to keep adjusting the belts.
