PLEASE HELP!! - Still not able to print on the full build surface after 3 years!
Hello, About 3 years ago I bought the Rostock MAX V1 and sadly i've never been able to truely use the full size of the bed. All i've been able to print really has been in a circle of say 15 cm MAX. I've always just accepted this small build area, because i got tired of trying to calibrate it. Since ...

Re: My WIP on a Tiger I Tank!
Hello again, Here's my update on the Tiger tank, finally. I haven't had much time for this project, still got my life ;) I've been making a few testprints to perfect the turret, I think it looks awesome and that it's pretty high quality for 3d printing. Only last week I've been able to start working ...

Re: DJI Inspired Quadcopter
I love it! what material is the brown-ish main hull made off? and where did you buy it? I've been looking for a color like that, looks "engineering material" I love how it is does'nt appear shiny. I really like it also and it prints very smoothly and uniformly. The material is GizmoDorks Brown HIPS ...

I had printed two overnight prints with the same settings and same filament no problem at all before I tried this one, I was able to extricate the nozzle from the effector platform but had to cut ...

Looking awesome! Beware of Sketchup's tendency to flip faces willy-nilly. Oh you don't know how much I've been battling sketchup the past few years! No matter how much I try to close all triangles on the mesh for printing, its hard to make complex pieces watertight... NetFabb for the win! Its a ...

question about axis for cartesian 3d printer
So I have been designing a cartesian 3d printer for a few days now, one that can handle a build platform of (width x depth x height) 500x300x300 in an as tight as possible package, thus have a paper scanner style x and y axis and the z axis for the bed. So far i've designed it like the ultimaker ...

best filament for small prints?
i have only been using PLA since i got my rostock max and its awesome stuff, almost got a 60 cm snap-fit Saturn V finished, super strong stuff but for prints with small layers it makes them look very ugly because it bends upwards with every layer made. now my question is: what is the best material ...

Re: how to change layer extrusion width
Finding the extrusion width: - Go to the slicing tab and choose the settings (configure) for slic3r. - Under the 'print settings' tab (it's the first one you'll see by default) - The last settings group called 'advanced' - If it's using the default settings these will all be 0 - Set them to ...

hello, when i begin a print, in PLA, bed and hotend heated up (hotend "leaking" filament already), it takes about 10-20 seconds after the head started the printing movements before the EZtruder actually starts extruding. i use skirts of 3-4 loops now to ensure filament coming out of the nozzle at ...
