Lot's of successes using Red MakerGear PLA with Simplify3d on Windows 8, sending files by USB. I've got a few questions. What is your shutdown protocol? How long after a print finishes do you wa...

Re: Really Getting Started - Purchase Decision
Again, thank-you for the guidance. You have made me very comfortable about my purchase.

Really Getting Started - Purchase Decision
Hello All, I have ZERO experience with 3D printing, but am spending my time on due diligence in order to make an informed purchase decision.
