Micron 180 Build

I have evil plans to convince my employer that we need a small printer for rapid prototyping and as a backup if/when our Modix Big-60 is out of service (like it is right now). They are fine with kit builds as evidenced by the Modix, why not a Micron+?

So I've started (and sort of finished) printing the parts already, as well as ordered a hardware kit from West3D since I needed heatsets and various screws for other prints anyway. Polymaker Yellow and Black ABS, planning on a red frame! BTW, at $35, the Micron+ hardware kit is an excellent variety hardware kit. I may get one for home as spare V0 screws. I printed Mini SB before thinking it would be cool to try Dragonburner, so I have both printed now. I also printed Boop, G2SA, and G2Z parts because why not. Also shown are top handles and Micron BZI. I printed R1 gantry parts that will need to be reprinted before I actually start building because HartK has updated about 5 times since I printed them. R1 gantry flips the z chain behind the rear gantry beam which prevents umbilical/chain tangles. Also includes customized BFI which is very cool.

Skirts with G2Z modified pieces and 4.3 waveshare parts.

3DPF Filter is basically a nevermore for Micron.

 

Plan is to get a West3D kit configured for the options I mentioned above (G2SA, G2Z, Red Frame, DB, Boop) and go CAN bus right away, but it will probably be a little while before I can order and start assembling.

West3D kit has been ordered, but with some changes! I'm going with Space Grey frame, Leviathan board, G2SA extruder with either Dragonburner or Archetype Blackbird, Beacon, and Nitehawk36. I need a full reprint of everything, probably going with Ambrosia ASA in Sparkle Black and Sparkle Red with maybe some Yellow thrown in as well.
