3d printer babbling
A new steel-plated nozzle and a little feedpath messing-around later, et voila: The Folly is now tooled up for production with abrasive filaments, like carbon fiber PLA, on a regular basis. Between support pieces for the experimental model of printer to follow ( "Fates" ) and skeletal pieces to hang Tin Dog's infrastructure off of, I suspect it'll be generating carbon-fibre PLA for some time to come. Plus, I really like the look and feel of the stuff - a pleasing texture.
