Well, it’s been a hot second, Spark progress resumes!

(This site editor kinda has text way too big for my liking, gonna write this in notepad first…)

Anyways, Blueprint rules still apply here, most of my thinking and extensive writing is going to be located inside the repository itself (under updatelogs), while here serves as a mroe general overview of what’s going on.

So, what’s going on? There’s already 3 days worth of stuff done, so let’s go through them!

6/12/2026

Basically a brief recap of some test prints here and there! More importantly, I just drafted up a pretty decently sized todo list of stuff we need to fix in the CAD, before we can start multitasking printing and doing other stuff. Tested prints include the bearing stacks, frame gussets, and tool plates!

This basically gave information that some dimensions were a bit off (bearings were 4mm tall, not 3mm, frame gussets could be a bit thicker, tool plate had some sus screw locations (material too thin in some places))! It also suggested other changes to make.

Giant schedule! Again, see the whole thing over there, basically a really rushed schedule on when stuff needs to get done, the goal is to finish in a bit more than two weeks. After that, a whole bunch of CAD fixes! From the stuff mentioned before to some fixes with screw lengths being somewhat impossible for the top of the tool to fixing the filament not having anywhere to go, to starting work on fixing the docking bay! Overall a really productive day!

6/20/2026

Oh, that’s today… anyways, not as productive, currently trying to implement an actually working spring latch system for it to actual work (the other version just doesn’t work). However, it’s a bit hard to think about, and the space isn’t exactly optimal (it’s kinda tightly packed…). Didn’t finish it, gonna continue with it tomorrow and take some time to think about any possible oversights or anything!

And that’s it for now! Decently large first log (not as big as the ones in updatelogs lol), but I’ll try to see if I can do this daily for the site, but no promises!

Ok, see ya hopefully tomorrow!
