Awesome, thanks Tim. Added it to the map. Which Cubify are they using?

Thanks for letting your boss know Matt. It's such a shame about the other schools not using their printers. I wonder which ones they have and whether the roadblock is usability, reliability, no expertise at the school, or a combo of all three. I really hope 3d printers don't become like the iPads fi...

Thanks Jim!

Hi everyone, I'm trying to research how many schools are using 3D printers, and I've created a Google map to visualize the data. If you're using a 3D printer in a K-12 school, please fill out this short form to add your school to the map, or forward it to someone who does. http://www.makerspace.gard...

Hi Everyone, Thanks for all your help so far. The M2s at our school have been working very well. Kids and parents from the school and outside community alike have been enthralled with this technology. We're trying to refurbish our space so it's better suited to get more people in our community invol...

There are two issues at play: marring of the surface from little bits of support left over after detaching, and loose threads when printing overhangs that is what necessitates support in the first place. Yes, it's the latter, the loose threads. In particular, there were many loose threads on the un...

After finishing a few prints that required support material, the finish of the prints is quite poor in places where support material was printed. Are there any tips to improve how the support material is printed so that the object looks better? I can post some pix tomorrow. We're using Simplify3D. T...

Awesome Dale. Thanks heaps!

Brilliant Toby. Thanks! We'll definitely have some unattended prints and won't be there to catch it every time, especially with big overnighters. I'm thinking about rigging up a raspberry pi and a motion sensor to send out an email when the print finishes. I'll probably use the camera as a webcam so...

Got our first test prints out today and noticed that when a print finishes, the bed drops rather dramatically to the bottom. It seems to fall less quickly with taller prints when the bed is already closer to the bottom. Is this the correct behavior? Seems it might throw the bed out of level more eas...
