No Comments on The BQ Hephestos2 (3D printer), nine months later

The Hephestos 2 printer just finished a job. Laying around the printer are Pritt adhesive, a brass brush, cleaning fluid.

After nine months I can say that I’m satisfied with the BQ Hephestos 2 printer. It’s easy to print with and easy to maintain. It doesn’t come with a heated printbed which I consider a shortcoming but for PLA and Filaflex the printer works fine.

DIY frame for a Photography Light Box. I designed a 3d printed three way connector to assemble the curtain rods for the box.

Filaflex is excellent material to improve the audio cooler that I made earlier. The material is very flexible and surprisingly strong making it perfect for sealing purposes
