The Drunken Ferret: Epilogue

A final update on my upgrade project: one of my torture tests for my printer is to print a desiccant holder that I use in the hubs of my filament reels. Because I use dry boxes on my two Flsun printers and I have a CFS on my K2 Plus, I seldom need the hub clear. 

Thus, my normal storage of filament is to put in a desiccant hub, then put the reel in a vacuum bag and use a pump to seal it. I have a lot of reels, and that inventory continues to grow over time, so I'm printing desiccant holders from time to time. 

I've learned over time that they serve as a great test of a printer - if it's not properly dialed in, the pieces won't fit to one another, or the "cage" is sloppy, or I've even had it "crunchy" and easily broken by any pressure.
 

With that in mind, I printed a holder last night on The Drunken Elf as a final test. It came out beautifully, far better than it's ever done. I just thought I'd share - I'm really pleased. Great dimensional accuracy, no stringing, strong build. 

All good.
