Cleaned the glass a couple more times, noticed it was high in the middle so I raised the z home switch about 3 mills. Releveled the bed several times. No adhesion at all. Rechecked extruder feed, found I had upped it about 12%, so I recalibrated that. releveled the bed. No stick at all. Went to town and found some glue sticks, purple gorilla stuff. No Elmers Extra to be had. Found bed still sitting on the ends of the y belt, raised the home switch some more and spent an hour releveling the bed again, can now pass a paper over the suspension stuff under the bed, releveled the bed, put 2nd coat of gorilla stick on it, releveled the bed for a heavier drag on a 22lb sheet of paper. Suddenly its almost working, makeing tall teeth tips for about an inch at 9 o-clock on the circle. No skips, its laying where the nozzle is putting it, best its looked in at least 3 days. This one will finish that roll of string, and its only a test make, I'll have to scale it about 1% to make it really fit the flexgear(s), I think. It needs to be smaller. Superglued the cracked flexgears.
Reheated dinner I put in the u-wave 2 hours ago. Ate it. I'll measure this one, adjust scales for better fit, make 3. If I've enough PLA. Step and repeat scale adjustments for correct diameter of bearing carrier. And swear on a stack of bibles I'll never do this again. Till the next time of coarse. . .
