Yet Another Minimug

Having spent a while tweaking the parameters of my Darwin on a 10mm test cube, I decided to go for a minimug:



Which worked. My daughter Sally was home for Easter and so joined in the celebrations, which consequently had to involve Amaretto - slightly sweet, if you ask me:



In for a penny, in for a pound: I then decided to throw a Darwin opto-switch bracket at it:



While it was printing, I soldered up a quick opto-switch PCB. Then I took the bracket off the build bed and ran a drill bit by hand down a couple of the holes to clean them up. I bolted the assembly together.

Finally I attached it to the very same extruder that made it:


That extruder now has speed feedback. Job done.

That's
what I'm talking about...
