Thank you jferguson @kskiff & monkeyscript: The Ultra One is intended for industrial use and is a beast (weighs over 100 lbs). You really need to see it to appreciate the work that goes into it. We'll be looking for ways to get the cost/weight down for a more general purpose machine but that is goi...

"MakerGear printers are designed and constructed with an uncompromising commitment to quality—without sacrificing the components critical to precision, repeatability, and durability. " Rick, this sentence should be revisited. Commitment to quality does not suggest any sacrifice. Maybe something like...

I bought 3 extra plates before working up my nerve to use the 2 inch tape. Instead of soapy water I used Windex. The process is as airscape notes, a bit messy, but I've been printing on the tape plate with PETG and Elmers Super Gluestick and it's worked well for the things I print - not a lot of sur...

Karl, is the new printer enclosed? I ask because one would expect the black ePC to emit heat faster - ie, cool down sooner, which might affect adjacent layer bonding. If extruding at a higher temperature causes other problems, it seems possible that there is no (NO) satisfactory way to print with th...

Gwhite,
That is really slick. How well does it work?

sorry guys, clearly i have a disicipline problem/

It's good to know this, Karl, I suppose because it saves me the time needed toput a cabinet together.

thanks much Karl, I imagined 247 was a bit too hot. I've had very good luck with elmer's extra strength stick glue on kapton. I have a piece of fiberboard which I use for removal of prints where there is a fairly solid face sitting on the kapton. I put the glass on a bench, line up the fiberboard wi...

Karl, I've been printing eSun PETG clear at 247C for thin shells for R/C aircraft wings. they seem pretty strong to me, but i will have to mess with rafts to deal with what appears to be some shrinkage distortion just above the table - first 3/8 inch or so. No fan, bed at 87C. What temperature do yo...

pretty slick. what filament?
