Fire Safety

I'm working towards getting my printer set up for longer, unattended prints, so I can make larger models.

My new hot end came with a thermal fuse built in, to make thermal run-away impossible. I have since added thermal fuses to the heat lamp and to the heated bed and power supply.

I also installed some passive fire extinguishers (in addition to the traditional fire extinguisher I keep near the door)



Next step will be adding a relay board to the raspberry pi that controls the printer, so I can remotely control power to all the heated elements and the entire printer.
