Tips/Techniques
My printer is on a shelf that is closed on 5 sides and I've added an exhaust at the upper back, which is tapped into my shop exhaust (8" inline blower). Even without blocking the main 8" exhaust line, a smoke test (larger particles than printing) showed a clear draw into the exhaust, from the upper bed area. I plan to add a plexi front door (no seals), at which point I'll have both a good directional exhaust and draft control.
If one didn't want to buy or make a fabric enclosures, it would be pretty easy to knock one up from "twin wall", which can often be had free from old signs etc.

I learned something new!
How to design a wheel with numbers (and letters) around I a circle… yes it’s a pain in the a$$ lol
Also the first time printing in 2 colours
Anyways, it worked out well (printing the third time) first time really buggered up, second time the printer buggered up… third times a charm
Glued it to a 48 tooth sprocket for my lathe for indexing holes in parts. 48 is a great number to index 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24 and of course 48
As for the tool, its for my Chinese Mini Lathe. Goes in the spindle through hole. 3 Tools in one... Chuck spin indexer, Depth stop and hand crank for tap or die 🙂
