It's not a great picture, but you can see the issue I'm having with curling. The corners curl like crazy on any print that takes up a large portion of the print bed, and it seems like bed adhesion in the corners is low, even with brims and supports.

Does this mean my heat bed doesn't heat evenly? Excessive cooling on the corners? Not enough cooling?

By printing small and in the center I can get reliable prints but this is driving me nuts. #3dprinting #prusa3d

PLA, Prusa #Mk4S

Ended a week of evenings of me and mrs. T working on PrintDOG. It started as a Prusa i3 Mk3, studied hard and became an S, more studying and it was a + for a while.

It was working well but a few parts were wearing out. I was considering replacing it with a Bambu P1S Core-type printer - then Bambu went and did their 'thing' that made me really appreciate the open nature of the Prusa platforms.

And since I'd originally built PrintDOG as a kit, I was kinda familiar with what went where -- I ordered an updgrade kit and now PrintDog is a Prusa MK4S.

And working amazingly well.

I'm also rebuilding some vintage bookshelf speakers. The paper gaskets were not recoverable so I modelled and printed replacements.

Good PrintDOG!

Oh, shoutout to @MaryPot for the heads-up on the Bambu thing... it's kinda scary.

@3dprinting I adjusted a few dimensions, and the second try fits nicely. There's just barely room enough (I hope) to bend the wires around and connect them into the jack.

This is the same receptacle Prusa uses for their enclosure's optional quick release. So if I ever move my printer into one of those, it will be ready to plug in. prusa3d.com/en/product/psu-cab

@3dprinting The purple piece is the end cap for the LED channel. It press fits into place. The wires will feed into the channel from the other end. This will probably be one of the trickier bits to assemble when sliding this down onto all four legs at once.

The filament is Prusament Ultramarine Transparent PETG. The other colors are Prusament Prusa Orange and Prusament Matte Black. The ultramarine is outside the gamut of most LCD screens.
