im kinda pooped though. my rooms a huge mess and im still so far from done. the extruder is giving me a ton of trouble because like i literally cannot have the spool feeding in from that side so ill probably need to figure out a mod to move it to the other side or move to direct drive (note that its not exactly impossible to just... mount the stock extruder to the carriage to make it direct drive. this is a massively silly approach but i might resort to it at this rate. both of these are technically doable but both require 3d printed parts which i cant make until ive set this thing up. im being catch-22'd in the comfort of my own bedroom its fucking bullshit

@snacks its so good. its nice when the problem solving involves actual physical things existing in real space instead of stupid abstract computing constructs

@snacks its just their style. ill probably replace it with a direct drive before too long but for the time being ive picked out a direct drive spool holder and a bracket to relocate the bowden drive to the top which should solve the whole "the stock drive location is pointed straight at my wall" issue. just gotta take a nap and clean up my room enough to do the cussing stream where i set the printer up on the floor to print the parts i need to set it up on my shelf instead
