I began this week with the goal to print a successful print on the 3d Printer that Dmitry could actually use. I attached the secondary printhead and did a few calibrations to make it work. It was working perfectly except for the fact that the filament wasn’t sticking to the bed so I lowered the bed temperature, which took me a day to figure out, and it worked beautifully. We then did a print that took 2 days and it finished Friday night. While I was waiting for the print I cleaned things that they could launch in to space like last week.

Outside of work I also had a lot of fun hanging out with my siblings since it might be a couple months before I see them again. I left the host house, which felt like leaving a home of mine, and I am currently at a McDonald’s, a couple hours from Ridgway writing this because I forgot to when I had free time. This is my last blog so thank you all for reading these and I hope you are doing well. Farewell.
