Still can't print - this is annoying.
I do however have some aluminium. Plan is to make a hot plate around 300mm x 270mm of 8mm aluminium - and fit 25W wire wound resistors in a grid to allow me to heat it to 115C.
I have a feeling it may be too heavy for the stepper motors though.
Now to find someone that can cut 8mm aluminium, as I have 300mm x 500mm sheet here.
What fun this hobby is :-)

Oh FFS, it was a public holiday in Germany yesterday - no wonder my hot end is delayed.
