What material did you use?
Nice design Leo. Do you have any files for us to download so that we can print them?I'm running a Raspberry PI 3 B+ with one of my printers as well. Designed my own light weight case for use with an Ender 3. The PI has small heat-sinks mounted and a PI fan powered by 3.3V (to keep it silent) yet cool. It's working great so far.

I tried another Octolapse print while printing a nose cone. Normally the print would take approx. 3 hours but due to Octolapse it took an additional 2 hours. I don't think I will be doing these kind of recordings with long prints often.

Black PLA. Cheap first print.What material did you use?
After just going through the calibration routine with my newly built printer it does look like one of two things: your first layer calibration is way off or you had very poor adhesion.What happened??? Last 10-15 prints were fine. Choose a different project with the same PLA roll same day same settings and look at what happened. Anyone have a clue?
I finally got my printer built and up and running. It went really well except Prusa sent me two of the same parts instead of a right and a left. Fortunately my son has a friend with a printer so he loaned me his to print a replacement part. Really helped having an already built kit to see exactly how everything went together.
I have several dozen Ellis Mountain 29mm H101 motors I need to fly. They are great motors but are now considered 'research' motors due to their age. So one of my goals is to make a bunch of 29mm rockets so I can fly several at each launch I go to. My first 3D printer project was a 29mm nosecone and fin can to fit some G10 body tube I got from Ellis. I used the fin can VCP posted and modified a nosecone file I found on Thingverse. I also made a coupler and bulkhead in OpenScad. I'm very pleased with the results. I used PLA for testing since it came with the printer but plan to use PETG for the rest of the ones I print.
So far I'm really happy with my Prusa MK3. I'm headed to MicroCenter tomorrow to buy a Raspberry Pi so I can set up wireless printing and a webcam.

Do you have their phone number? My 3B+ just died and need it replaced? How did you contact Adafruit?I always buy form Adafruit.
Microcenter also has them:Do you have their phone number? My 3B+ just died and need it replaced? How did you contact Adafruit?

I tried that and they directed me to submit my defective 3B+ on their forum where everyone can see. Kinda stupid BS if you ask me!!I contacted them here: https://www.adafruit.com/contact_us
I really want to get the MMU 2.0 but I am hesitant to pull the trigger until I feel it is mature enough. Is anyone using the MMU 2.0, if so what is your opinion, ready for prime-time, pros, cons, etc. Also Prusa hinted about a completely new printing technology that they are working on and will be announcing in 2019, something that hinted as being a game changer, paraphrasing that last part.
Well I finally tracked down the problem and it was only by accident. I searched the internet and youtube for weeks but only found possibles but none really cured the problem. It was under extrusion. I accidently found this youtube video that showed me where the actual problem was. It was the shaft that the extrusion pulleys sat on. The shaft is 20mm long and should be 24mm long. After removing the 3mm shaft I made my own and now it is printing properly. Here is the link.What happened??? Last 10-15 prints were fine. Choose a different project with the same PLA roll same day same settings and look at what happened. Anyone have a clue?
