Reasonably certain I've still got mine in the loft, along with quite a few other 70s diecast SF models.

If it's mint in box they can fetch around £600 (well that's what they were asking at the toy fair a couple of weeks ago).
I have seen them as low as £60 but in quite poor condition. There are reproduction ones at £120 on Ebay and Amazon.

Mine is _definitely_ on the "£60" end of the range.
I c ant remember who it was that had tried 3DQF filament a while back. And that they had another go but still was not convinced. well I have just seen they are going to be doing more exotic filaments and AS I have been using 3DQF for a month now with my only gripe being a couple of spools overloading the AMS bu the filament gripping down the side. I think this maybe the cardboard spools being weaker now but I am still testing to see if it is that.
Anyway this is the latest announcement and as many of us want to support British business and I cant find many suppliers cheaper that 99 quid for 10KG PLA delivered, with a choice of colours I thought it might be welcome.

New Toy Day!
That takes me back! The best day of the year in primary school—waiting eagerly to see everyone’s latest and greatest toy. Sports Day was a close second, but nothing quite matched the excitement of Toy Day!
Yesterday brought back that same feeling when a rather large box arrived in the afternoon, our new customised industrial water chiller had finally arrived. This addition will allow us to push forward with more advanced engineering polymers that require non-standard production parameters. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be implementing this extra cooling system as we prepare to introduce a brand-new material to the 3DQF lineup.
It’s incredible to reflect on how much equipment is needed to properly dry and prepare the raw material and ultimately produce high-quality filament. Looking back to when we started in December 2015, I’m amazed at how far we’ve come. The transformation of our business and the dedication of our team have enabled us to produce a filament that not only competes with but often exceeds the quality of the largest European and US manufacturers. I have seen a good number of facilities across the world and very few prepare the material to the level that we do.
We always talk about the importance of supporting UK manufacturing, but the reality is simple, without your continued support, we wouldn’t be here. We wouldn’t be reducing plastic waste with our polymer fee spools, locally manufactured consumables from card stock to colouring and the UK would have far fewer options beyond imported filament. Your support is paramount to this fight to support our domestic production which is vital.
From the whole team at 3DQF we thank you for the support, we will continue to drive for the highest quality filament with the highest level of customer service."

Well finally got Orca and Creality splicer working, wanted to give the K2 a proper workout so have printed the Clock spring torture toaster.
Spliced it in Orca, took just under 6hrs to print with a 0.16mm layer height. Probably could have used a .2mm
Over all its pretty good, the gears all work nicely and the apart from the 0.1mm slider the rest were easy to get moving.
For an out-of-the-box printer with no fine-tuning, its bloody impressive.
few little niggles,
First layer was a bit generous and took ages to weed out.
The 80 deg and 70 deg arms have a bit of distortion.
there is a small layer shift line on one corner.

This is a file i spliced, its available on Printables
there are only 3 models that come with the K2, Benchy x2 and the Creality logo.
I have got plenty to print, load of bee keeping stuff, bits for my Range Rover classic and storage stuff for the workshop.
Plus any daft stuff that i design in CAD
What's one of them when it's at home?

I was watching this:
but the designer hasn't published his models.
So I made this:
www.printables.com
It's a 10in wide modular server cabinet.
The corner blocks are 1u in height, and it's bolted together with M6 all thread.
The holes down the "legs" are standard spacing for rack ears, and take a M6 (or 1/4-20) nut so a bolt can secure the rack panels.
Needs a bit of a "tweak", but im quite happy for a first draft.

And GPS is global positioning system, NTP is network time protocol so it's a box that tells you where you are and what time it is. But more than that I don't know - maybe something to do with tracking satellites or stars /planets maybe??Rpi= raspberry pi
Beyond that...

With the legs, could you make a projection in one and a divot in the one below so they would align rotationally.
Maybe a hex pocket half the depth of an M8 nut top and bottom so the nut would align each part and the M6 rod pass through the middle.
