Making Sh*t

I print exclusively on a Prusa Mini. It’s the first 3D printer I’ve purchased and assembled. It went online in March 2021.

The filaments I work with are:

Prusament PETG
Prusament PLA
Filamentum 98a

Prusa Mini is stock.

Mystery of the 0.20mm

While printing an clicker extension for my recurve bow, noticed that sub 20mm, there is a Z inaccuracy which disappears above 30mm.

Prusa Mini XYZ Calibration

Performing an XYZ calibration on my Prusa Mini. Prusa Support doesn’t like if you do this but I think this exercise is worth it for better fidelity and confidence your axis are calibrated.
