Re: How to print objects that don't have a flat side?
You can do this in simplify in most cases. Simplify wont print anything below the bed so double click the model and lower the model in the z axis, print then flip it OR duplicate it and flip one then print both halves at the same time There's a write-up for what Jim is discussing here: http://forum...

Re: How to print objects that don't have a flat side?
Thanks for the help. Can Simplify 3D split an object in half/multiple parts or is another piece of software required to accomplish this?

I am changing the fans on the bed and extruder, and need longer wires for the setup. What gauge wire is utilized for the fans? Thanks.

G code automatic shutoff
I utilize Simplify 3D, and would like when the M2 is done running its prints for the night to automatically shut off. Maybe that is asking to much. However, is there a G code or something software related that could accomplish this?

Re: eSUN PETG Problem
