Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Okay boys it's not pretty but it does get the job done.

And here's a finished part ......eight hours.

Special feature's include but are not limited to:

Thermal shield / leveling device made of ace hardware plywood. With bank pen tensioning spring's.

Sysco brand kitchen probe bed temp. Module.

Remote digital hot end temp. Probe.... Both F. & C.

Home build power and controller platform... Aka.... That left over piece of ace plywood. (The scrap)

Circa 1997 pentium 2 computer.... Man, I can't believe that thing is still going.

Costume Under the cupboard filament spool holder.

The I can't remember who gave me costume place mat vibration dampening system.

The other feature's like my home build nuclear powered power supply...... Can not be discussed on this forum.... Top secret government stuff... Sorry!

Where's the cupholder?

You are really good at using things around the house instead of buying everything. Very resourceful and cool!
Good job and I am really interested in the nuclear powered supply. Be sure not to get to much radiation!

A closer look at the temp. Gage.... Opp's...... I'm also showing the super secret fix to the plastic motor mount. Code name penny paper cable belt tensioning system.... Patent pending!

Hey, at least it works! (I think)

In 50 years when articles are written about the birth of 3d printers, they wont use the fancy looking Makerbots or Z-corp's.. They'll only every use the picture of your machine because it invokes the necessary feelings of pioneering and hacking that they'd like to romanticize about

That's a SeeMeCNC H-1, the printer that got them started. I have one just like it and an H-1.1 (in yellow). Here's my build and other photos from 2012. Someday they'll be collector's items like old Apple computers.

These were quite capable little printers and I made some great parts on mine.

His printer and pictures of the H1 from Seemecnc. True pioneers in the 3D printer arena.

Your machine is so sharp. It could puncture a hole in a Fire Nation empire class battleship. Leaving thousands to drown at sea. Because its so sharp.

Seriously though this is way cool. Good job on putting it together and getting it working.

Absolutely no doubt! I wondered what the H-1 looked like...

Hey Michael, how did those wedding rings hold up? The reason I ask is that my wedding band was lost in an icy Colorado river as I was merrily tubing through Montrose (the cold shrinks hands :/ ) one year. I've considered printing one, and your picture reminded me.

Did you use PLA or ABS?

I guess it doesn't matter how well it holds up (though I'm still curious) since I could just print another or ten.

I guess it depends who is piloting that ship. I can't imagine Zuko allowing a sharp looking 3d printer to take down one of his vessels.

Such a well done anime... too bad about the movie :/

Yes, that was an awesome anime. I almost could not watch the last season because the voice actor for Iroh died before that season. He was my favorite character and it still makes me sad to think about it.

The movies just go to show you that anime can still outdo big screen productions on so many levels. I don't think the first movie was all bad (that is the only one I have seen), but like most movie translations it gets rushed and you lose the spirit of the original works.
