The heated glass bed has been a great addition, I have been meaning to do a better write-up on it but the extruder upgrade has been a priority.

The new extruder has been great and now looking forward to a new control panel with click encoder and SD card slot. This will be built around the latest Marlin firmware to ensure an easy firmware upgrade path with minimum set up. The notes will be posted in multiple parts hopefully starting next week.

I’ve just added a hot bed to my sumpod, based on your design, and the results are very much better than the old ‘cold’ blue tape. The main difference is that i’ve ended up using a piece of mirror as I had that to hand. Interesting illusion, a bit like a mirage. I used a single length of 20 swg nichrome wire, which is OK but is a bit like wresting with an anaconda to get it stuck onto the glass.
Hope to start printing out the parts for your extruder soon.
Thanks for publishing all your notes,
William
