At first, changing the filament was always a nightmare with this printer. The so called "cold pull"... Not too quick, not too slow... Well, it jammed more than it worked. So... I've done the following upgrade, making it easy to access the extruding block. It's basically a hinge with a magnetic lock. The contact between the heat sink and the extruder block is still guaranteed and the heat dissipation is practically as it was before the upgrade.
Thankfully, in these times where we can't help, we can help! The hospitals are in need of equipment. Our nurses, doctors and volunteers need our help! If you have a 3D printer, you can print facial shield holders which are actually really useful to all who are close to our infected fellow humans!

Here's a really simple to learn, yet great strategy game. In the link, there's some info about the game and how to play: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abalone_(board_game) If you'd like to play online, press this link: https://lazymuttgames.com/games/Abalone/ The design of the board had some interesting challenges and required some study to make sure the marbles would slide properly. If you'd like to print this board, the files are available in my Thingiverse page here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3461916 I've decided to give it a go, with a small version of the board, with Ø16mm marbles and it works really well. The board has 160mm circumscribed. For the near future, an outer skirt will be added to collect the marbles. It wasn't printed with the board due to the printing bed dimensions. The skirt will have 3 parts that will connect with one another and with the board itself. This is how it will look like:
