I am so happy to be replacing my @BambulabGlobal printers with @Prusa3D . After several back to back issues with Bambu support, we decided that moving to a platform with reliable support was the right move for our RnD team. So excited to be part of the Prusa Family now.

Enjoy a solid 2 minutes of Positron printing. Also the filament is about to run out, this is satisfying to watch the way it's using it up. Of note; no, there is not a rurnout sensor. One of the few things we had to cut to save size in this compact factor.

The next Positron is going to use 2-1/4" filament diameter. Just chuck off the amount you need, and it'll print, eventually.

As per the recommendation of @_WeHaveFun_ , we are printing a bearded skull, in 172.8% scale. Here's the first layer going down. Wish us luck!

The gremlins are heading back to their dens, which means we're heading back to Philadelphia after our trip to @OpenSauceLive , sponsored by @LDOMOTORSJASON . Without LDO, we couldn't have made it out to all the wonderful people we met. Thank you everyone! #DontPrintOnPlanes

Thanks to @Prusa3D , I was able to fix a bit of wobble I had on my Positron. This little tool is included in all Positron kits (or, one like it), but as a unit built from the early beta, I didn't have it just yet. So my idlers were a little loose. NO MORE LOOSE IDLERS!

We've heard the feedback. As of April 1st, we will be righting the Positron, no more of this upside down hoo-ha. Our hubris was too grand, and we flew too close to the sun. All kits will include Bungie cords to hang your Positrons the right way up. Gravity cannot be defied.
