Post by mcbride19 »

Since everything went fine I will just show you different step of the build and the result, it will be more clear

So here is the photos:

A better way to put the belts inside the holes, roll it in your fingers, the belt will stay round , now you can pass it trough the holes !

So everything went fine , it took me 4 days to build it with the collaboration of my wife.
It works far better than my solidoodle 2 and the quality is also better

Looks Great! That is one of the best first prints I have seen on the Forum. Your settings must be awfully close
to what they should be. Good job!

Thanks !

For the settings I have some experiences with the Solidoodle 2 , I think it's not very hard to find best settings if you take time to understand how it works ans also to take a look on what have been done by other users.
I must admit that I'm really proud of my hollow cube, the bridges are quite perfect and i've also been surprised when I saw this result. ;)
