I watched a video of a young kid whose mother was trying to help him learn to read. She gave him a jar of Nutella and told him to name the letters. He pointed to each letter and read off: "N - U - T - E - L - L - A - peanut butter!"

I chose this print for today, because the author obviously LOVES his Nutella and was willing to make a security device to keep others out. That's ambitious. I've never personally eaten the stuff, but I can respect that he wants to protect his vice and was willing to engineer a solution for it. #Respect

Did it fit the jar?

I actually like Nutella, but it is a bit expensive. Think of a chocolaty peanut butter - not bad.

The 3D Print of the Week for this week is actually three (3) lubrication tools for the A1. When you buy the A1 printer, you get lubricant and grease for the different axis, however, it isn't easy at all to apply it to the rails, threaded rods, etc.

These three tools make it so much easier.

Interesting, I have been looking into the A1 Combo (four color.)

It seems that the printing on the sides of those lube appliers would be better if they showed on which axis it was to be used. Although, I guess that the shape of the grease head shows that.

The Combo is the one I'm using, though the 4 colors are really a convenience. I rarely print in multiple colors. A better feature of the AMS is to have a spare spool for when one runs out, it will automatically switch to the new spool. I use that feature much more.

Yeah, each axis has a unique requirement and if you have the printer in front of you, it becomes obvious which tool takes care of which axis.

I thought this was cute in a kind of ironic way. I had to print it.

With regards to the A1 Lubrication Tools in this post (https://savagechats.com/index.php?msg=4577), there was also a Tool Holder / Tray that I printed after fixing an issue that had my A1 down for nearly a week (https://savagechats.com/index.php?topic=578.0).

This is the holder itself. I also used it as a test print to make sure my printer was working after this issue (https://savagechats.com/index.php?topic=578.0).

This is what it looks like with the tools inserted.

I've kind of moved to just posting these in individual threads, for anyone who sees this and wondered... ;)
