Crunch time for 3dPrintopia!!

For those of you that have been following the channel lately, you may be aware of the projects that are currently undergoing completion for the show.
For those of you that may be new here, we are working on building a Zero-G Nebula (Enclosed version of the Mercury 1.1) that is a partnership build with DLLPDF and Fabreeko, with a little help from LDO Motors. We are also going to make this our flagship printer in the shop by having premium parts on it such as LDO Long Shaft Speedy Power motors, a Phaetus Dragon UHF hotend, LDO Motors Orbiter 2.5 extruder, TurtleCrawler All Metal Gantry (beautifully lasered with the Armor3d Printing Logo!), 9mm Belts, an LDO Leviathan main board, Honeybadger bed 1000w bed heater paired with a DLLPDF heated bed (soon to be replaced with their new INTERNALLY heated bed! stay tuned for that update!), and of course the Illusion Red powder coated frame from DLLPDF!
The Nebula is making some good progress. So far the frame is built, stepper towers are assembled, electronics is in its (hopeful) final spots and wiring has begun its placement and clean up process.
Tomorrow (September 12), I will be hosting another stream during the day continuing the work on the Nebula. We will mount the stepper motors and run those wires, assemble the toolhead (A4T) and connect everything up and hopefully flash some firmware on to the unit while we wait for UPS to deliver the remaining items.
Hopefully some of you will be able to join in the stream tomorrow!
To spice things up, I am thinking of giving away this iFixIt Essential toolkit that I have to one of you lucky viewers!
I really appreciate all of you that have attended the streams and hung out with me lately! You all are awesome and your attendance and participation during the streams means a lot to me and keeps me motivated to continue this journey!
I look forward to meeting someone you in person at 3dPrintopia later this month!

Wiring looking dope! That white goes surprisingly well with that deep maroon filament. Unfortunately 3dPrintopia is across the country for me, but maybe one day I’ll be in your neck of the woods.
