That’s true. The only thing I can think of for getting an hourglass shape would be potentially applying uneven pressure during the cuts. The track saw track should give you a dead straight line, but only if you aren’t applying any lateral force during the entire cut.

I found a lot of useful stuff from this video from Foureyes, particularly around the 6 minute mark for the in/out method on the jointer. There’s also a similar up/down method if you have a table saw.

I don’t own a Q1 pro, and my only experience prior to my current printer was an ender 3 pro.

But I bought a Qidi Plus 4 a couple of months ago and have been extremely happy with it. It’s fast, reliable, and has the heated chamber and high temp hotend. Multi-material is supposed to get added via the Qidi box in the first quarter if you wanted to add it on later.

I haven’t printed any engineering grade material on it yet, but all the reviews I’ve seen say it’s a piece of cake with advanced materials.

I think Sunlu’s 2 most recent dryers fit 3kg. The S4 requires printed parts to heighten though.

I do enjoy lots and lots of dollars. If you are serious and in the Midwest, let me know!

Here is a picture of the entertainment center, hairpin legs as a temporary placeholder. Made with 3/4" walnut plywood for the top. Wooden legs can be any species, but my intent is to dye it black.

I can be flexible with the wood species for the legs, as the intent would be to dye them black. Can also use any type of joinery with the exception of a domino. The entertainment center itself is 3/4" walnut plywood, I’ll post a picture of it when I get home later tonight. Thanks for your input!
