I happened to be watching the print camera when a nut suddenly dropped onto the print sheet. Luckily it's just a short test print, so it gets to complete the current job.
If I'm not mistaken, it's one of the nuts holding the X rail in place. Time to do some tightening I guess.
UPDATE: It was actually from the top vent cover. These nuts are intentionally left somewhat loose for the vent to open/shut easily. Not critical, but I need to get some locktite on there.
Are those scratches on the bed? My skin is crawling.
Some PETG residue after scraping off a notoriously resistant brim a while back. It doesn't affect the print, but it's fugly enough that I rarely use that side of the sheet. Note that the lighting causes it to look worse than it actually is.
