150:Will It Blast?

February 1st,2024

The assembly room buzzed with activity as Evan focused on his latest project: a custom-built 3D printer designed to push the boundaries of what was possible in additive manufacturing. 

The room was strewn with various components, each meticulously crafted to play a specific role in the printer's intricate design. 

Several large tables were cluttered with parts in different stages of completion—metal frames, intricate gears, and high-precision nozzles all lay in organized chaos. Each piece had been carefully machined to Evan's exacting specifications, from the sturdy aluminum supports to delicate ceramic heating elements. 

On one table, a set of interlocking aluminum rails and supports formed the printer's framework. They were precision-cut to ensure a perfect fit, their surfaces gleaming under the overhead lights. Nearby, a collection of wired stepper motors awaited integration.
