So the exteuder fan went out the other night. I was rotating it to look at the extruder and the wires to it just snapped. I attempted to solder them back on tonight. Plugged in the resoldered fan and now when the printer is powered on it sounds different. The fan on the motherboard will not start up...

Hey everbody!! I am having a problem. Hopefully someone has some ideas. I use a MakerGear M2. And most prints I am having great success. But with this new print, I am having an issue where at certain parts of my model it's separating and pulling up on corners. You can see it pretty clearly in this i...

It would probably work with 0.05 mm layers around 0.2 mm interior layers, but that's just crazy talk. Better to slather jsc's favorite dressing on the thing: XTC-3D FTW, so I gather. Have you used STC-3D? I am curious how it works on parts with tons of small detail? I am printing very small parts w...

Well the main reason I am using ABS is because that's what I have been using. So it's what I am familiar with. Also, for the project I am working on bonding it together with Acetone makes is SUPER simple afterwards. And on the Flashforge Creator Pro I was using I was able (After much trial and error...

I then watched as it warped raising the middle from the table over about 10 seconds!! This is frustrat...

Hello all, so I got my new Makergear M2 and ran a few prints with the black PLA that came with it and all went great. Prints are looking great. I tried to do a high detail print with the PLA and it didnt work as well as the large prints. Just came out too rough. Might need to adjust the settings but...

So what you're saying makes sense. But I am still having one major issue here. Have you used MakerBot Desktop? If so, then you would know that in it you have FULL control using a series of well designed UI tools to orient in all axis, scale in all axis and place in all axis your objects on the platf...

Hello Everyone!! I just placed my order for my Makergear M2 last night and it said this morning that it shipped!! I am super excited but I am not sure about 1 thing. Which software should I use? My experience up to this point on 3d printing has been importing .stl files into MakerBot Desktop to crea...
