Wesley's Tool-Box

The axis movement issue was somewhat alleviated, so I went with leveling the hot bed where the prints will be formed on. This required turning the three screws on the bed ever so slightly so that the nozzle is basically at the same distance away from the surface.

I made the adjustments without powering on first because they were off by a lot and needed big shifts. The expansion caused by heating of the bed may require further adjustments, but I hope it will be minor.

As for how the axis movement got better, read on.

Venus will be closest to the Earth on January 11. Since it's on an inner orbit, it'll be aligned very close to the Sun. So it'll set almost simultaneously with it, making it hard to see this week or the next.

This photo I took over the weekend is the one last good look at the planet before it shows up in the morning instead of evening. It's gotten quite big and was still relatively bright against the dusk.
