Re: Electronics / Hotend Fan not running after dual upgrade

Re: Sketch plane placement

for starters, what CAD software are you using?

also this should be posted on that CAD software's forums.

have you updated any extrusions that occur after the sketch you are modifying. You will want to check all subsequent actions to anything that modify.

Re: M2 V4 Starting Issue

Have you calibrated your Z-Height? Have you leveled your bed? If your nozzle is too close to the bed, it won't be able to extrude anything. Are your extrusions consistent otherwise? If not, you may have your filament tension set poorly. easiest way to check is to withdraw the filament and examine th...

Re: relocating Rambo board?

you may give rambo some separation anxiety. Other than that, no problems.

Re: Benchy: Is this a S̶l̶i̶c̶3̶r̶ S3D problem?

Okay, I caved. I bought S3D a few days ago. Still trying to get this dialed in before the big project, I don't want any failures. I'm having a hard time balancing the extrusion multi. In Slic3r I found the multi to be 0.99. I applied this to S3D and got a good benchy, but a bit over stuffed. so I ca...

Re: extreme frustration >:( #rant

Help us understand here. What sort of project are you doing? my first impression is that maybe fusion 360 is not best program for your job. I use fusion 360 for creating parametric models or engineered solutions. I never get into meshes. maybe another 3d modeling program is better suited for your ne...

Re: Benchy: Is this a Slic3r problem?

20170112_021428872_iOS.jpg The original issue is nearly gone with just the solid infill threshold reduced, Thanks Ed! there is still a slight bulge that starts a few layers lower, right when the railing is started. maybe ringing? maybe the same gap fill issue? next print is seeing if I can lower th...

Re: Benchy: Is this a Slic3r problem?

Too hot maybe? Looks a little melty to me....some of those PLA filaments will melt at absolutely nothing. (Also might want to increase the infill % and lower the infill speed.) But get S3D anyway...it's so worth it. ;) :D I agree with the melty look, but I think my phone embellishes this look. I di...
