Hemel, been here for a few years now but I still don't really know the area very well!

That belt will be over kill, I just use a belt I made with some 1” webbing. It sits on my hips and holds everything just fine. There isn’t much stress on the belt, the thighs aren’t heavy.

Took the whole head assembly apart, it was a real mess. The heat block and sensors are done and need to be replaced. The heat break I was able to remove which is nice as it's a titanium one, needs some more cleaning the PETG out of the threads though. The heat sink was covered in thermal compound but cleaned up really nice with some IPA. I have a spare heat block I could use but I'll need to order sensors anyway so I'll get a nice new one. I have the steel heat break that came with the kit last year as well so I have choices. Once the new parts arrive I'll need to rebuild the printer with some new plastics I printed in Galaxy Black for added sparkle and get it all calibrated and running again.

Is there something you need assistance with? If so feel free to message one of us.

As far as I am aware the only real use of the SE-14R was the promo images so it never really had a chance to get knocked about. Then again you seem some E-11s that look like they've been dragged behind a speeder (which is not exactly my personal preference) so it's owners choice to a certain extent.

I have a few spare hot end parts, like a .4, .6 nozzle, the old heat block and a few others so may be able to get up and running with what I have, depends how caked in filament the sensors are really.

I was going to print the end cap tomorrow but instead I looked into why there was filament dripping from the hot end. Apparently the heat block has worked looks, or the nozzle, or maybe both. The end result is filament has been leaking through the top of the heat block and generally making a mess. I’ll need to strip, rebuild and maybe replace some components. This will be a rather time consuming job and I’m not exactly sure when I’ll fit this in.

Iteration #712 (actually v12 according to fusion but that's 12 saves for all the mods, but most are this) Top: last version Bottom: new version Not a huge amount of changes Moved the whole cocking slide down a fraction as it was a shade too close to the top/rear sight cut out. It is now about the same gap as the TFA source STL, +-"0.no one cares" mm. Extended the cocking slide so it's only 1mm from the Hengstler mount. There is a 45° chamfer at the end to help with printing, and also blend in the end a little so it's less abrupt. I added some more holes for my wiring setup. (there is a version with out all these) Pretty happy with this now. If anyone else wants them I will publish but for now I'll wait for a 2nd set of eyes to check my work.
