You can necro a thread, as long as you're adding something useful and not just "thanks!" ;) Cool thats what i wanted to know. I've seen a few things in the subpost i guess its called that are older post but really good information but some of it is personalized and would be interesting to know for ...

Not to discourage you at all, but be aware that dual extruder printing comes with a whole extra set of headaches above and beyond regular 3D printing. You will want to be comfortable with editing gcode, and maybe have to learn a different slicer. Check out the v4 dual thread.[/quote] Thanks for the ...

im sure someone that has dont it will chime in here but makergear is usually pretty thorough and complete. i doubt you would need anything additional. if its a kit i can bet it will have everything included down to the washers for the screws. jimc the way the kit was when i got it with extra nuts, ...

Bowden is inferior in just about every way on a moving-bed printer. On a gantry like the Ultimakers it's fine, because X and Y have the same mass, but it doesn't get you anything on the moving-beds because regardless of how lightweight X gets you still have the mass of Y "holding back" the accelera...

the new m2 i just got here has the metal enclosure. i had to email rick when i got it saying how nice that was. way nicer than the stock plastic box. jimc that is definitely a nice setup and a big step forward as far as looks are concerned... Ok so as far as feeding the filament I know some have sw...

I have heard such great thinks along with a few bad things here and there about the E3Dv6 and I know E3D also make's the Chimera and really have been looking at it also. Now other than Thingiverse http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:280766 I do...

I just run all my printers in the basement and don't use stinky plastic :) I would do just that but half my basement is garage and the other half basement. My garage is filled with metal working machines ( to many of them lol) so that makes a lot of metal dust and dirt. Now in the basement side I h...

Burn a small segment of that filament. If it's a small blue flame, its PLA. If it's a smoky orange flame, it's ABS. Also, PLA will smell kind of sweet, ABS will smell like a car fire. I bet that's ABS... insta I am using MakerGear filament.. When I buy something like this (a machine) I kinda go ove...

I'm interested in knowing what all you guys have your Raspi doing with your printer.. Some info and good links for doing what we are doing with them would be great.
