First Layer Print Hot Run
This was a bit of a hoot! I printed the perimeters of the first layer of the Mk 2 polymer pump at 5x scale to see if things were looking right. I made one big mistake in forgetting to tape the poplar board down. Once the outline was more or less done the extruder began to push the board around on the xy work table leading to all the busy nonsense you see inside the outline.

There's obviously a lot of work to do still, but I'm well and truly started! :-D
