Terry and Claire’s first print!

Terry and Claire’s new printer is working!  Terry writes:

Hi Matt.

I spent a bit of time getting our printer in order and it is now starting to spit out completed prints.  The adhesion to the bed is good so I think it was a matter of getting the bed level.  
I disassembled and rebuilt the hotend to stop the filiment leak you noticed.  Once I tightened everything up it got much better.  I’m still seeing a large temperature drop while printing but the print came out fine.  I also switched to printing from the microSD card.
I noticed the threaded rod and nut system was getting a little loose and tightened it up.  
Success!

Congratulations Terry and Claire!  It’s been fun to watch your progress!
