5/21-Day 4
   Not every day is great to be a scientist, sometimes there are walls that seem miles high.  But I guess you just need to keep climbing.  This happened to me and Cham when we moved the printrbot from one location to another and Cham needed to reinstall all the programs onto this new computer.  That was a minor setback, nothing to bad.  The next challenge that stopped us is how on the previous day we got the printer to work in less than fifteen minutes and now today no matter how many adjustments we made the printer still wouldn't make a good print.  After hours of aggravation me and Cham were both equally frustrated, I decided lunch was a good idea, even though it was a bit early if me and Cham had stayed any longer it wouldn't have been pretty.  After returning From lunch i made one last adjustment to the probe that detects the metal plate and of course the next print was spot on.  We decided the first usable thing that we make with the printer should be the fan shroud, a cover for the fan that was suggested to be something to make after finishing the Printbot.  The piece came out perfectly on our first attempt. Below are some pictures from the Fan cover being made.  Even after hours of aggravation the day still ended on a good note, after I tested some of the supplements that I take from GNC.
