One of the First Prints - Monolith Zero
We hit a milestone earlier this week, as there are two working M0s out in the wild. As soon as I received my SLM parts, I got it working in no time. There is still a long way to go until the Beta, but it's been a rewarding and fun dev cycle so far…

LDO Kit Beauty Shot with Final Fasteners
One perk of the fixed gantry rebuild is that I was able to take a clean shot of the whole gantry with the black nickel hardware installed.

Heat Shield and Fiberglass Sleeve
I took other thermal images to add to the collection! I added back the fiberglass silicone sleeve, and measured it with the same conditions as before (255 °C, max speed 9290)…

Fixed Gantry Conversion 3 - Kinematic Z
Without the SLM parts, I can't really make meaningful progress on the M0, so I decided to design a simple WS9290 top electronics mount. The plan is to reuse my existing 7040 in the PFA…
