MakerGear Hot End: Retouching Ceramic
Channel: Kevin Wixson
Date: 2011-10-04

Part 4 of the MakerGear Hot End Build for the "Hains" Prusa Mendel. In this video I make adjustments to the nichrome wire before allowing it to fully cure. After allowing the first application of ceramic to cure for an hour it is necessary to go back and untwist the ends of the nichrome wire and position them. This will disturb the ceramic, and retouching the ceramic is necessary. Let the ceramic cure overnight. This is part of a series of videos documenting the entire process of building a Prusa Mendel RapRap from the perspective of a beginner, for beginners.
