I did multiples of the spool, the tensioners, and the finger joints. I also printed some with "coarse support" (KISSlicer) the finger motor brackets, the thumb cover and servo bracket. Everything else was one stl at a time.

Re: Help with printing a part

I agree with Polygonhell, maybe not FDM for this. My first thought is, why in one piece? I know we have the ability to print very complex geometries. I too like the "all at once cool factor 8-) " but beating my head against a wall trying to do it seems counter-productive. Sometimes I think...

Re: TPU Filament

Having run my Filastruder for a while now. I can hold +/- .02mm. I would definitely shoot for under tolerance rather than over. If you go over too much the spool will be unusable:( Where as an under tolerance can be accounted for in software. Consistency is the key. Good luck with the trials! Let us...

Re: Hotend too cold, I think.

It sounds like your hot end is not heating enough. Can you check its temp independently with a thermocouple on your multimeter? That would be my first check, and a critical piece of knowledge to extrude properly. Worth every penny, even if you have to buy a new meter with thermocouple. If not that. ...

Looks like development is moving along. I purchased the image converter. It seems to work as promised :) (early adopters get it for $15, it will be $25) Haven't tried "Matterslice" yet, that's on the to do list. 8-) http://www.3dprinterworld.com/article/mattercontrol-11-and-image-convertor...
