Wow.

How is it that I did not know about this sooner!?

Thank you.

I do. What does that do?

Okay, see here's what I've discovered... I created these pieces to be printed together as mentioned above. The piece on the left is to be the 'frame structure'. Printed solid. The piece on the right is to be filler material. https://public.bn1303.livefilestore.com/y2puS2oG77E7GBDSJZVyT9o2Ebu9zsX0E6O...

I tried that, it seems that S3D changes the reference points on import.

I had to go back and measure my CAD to do direct entry. there was an offset in the x direction of 20.1mm. Which is exactly the distance between the wall of the square, and the surface of the cylinder.

It Works!!! It's kind of a pain to align the parts perfectly on the build plate. I'm not sure why, both of the parts were designed with the same origin point.... https://public.bn1303.livefilestore.com/y2pm3FFhqsxtKGLdtRTyC9wbwgEXGC6Unj5u8CsJwmUnY6AAUeF3l8zKck3UemUQyw3NB9q0GrcHdL70DndUAdF1c9XhSIJp2s...

So, I've been thinking of ways that I can reduce my Infill percentage and adding structural integrity to my parts. As some of you know. I use my M2 primarily to make flying machines. Tricopters, Quadcopters, Ya'know hand-cutters. :D I have this idea that if I create 2 parts. One being the inverse of...

Just thought I'd share this with everyone. Some guys from our Midwest office put this system together. I wish they would've asked me, I would have made a much larger print bed! :P The robot is able to change the orientation of the extruder so it can print on different surfaces of the part. http://ww...

Any officially released specs on the V4?

Specifically the maximum print temp?

A friend of mine at work is ready to buy his Makergear M2 kit.

He's been holding out waiting for the V4 hot end to be included with his kit. My question: When will V4 extruders come with the kit?

I'll occasionally use ABS for small, short duration prints. Large surface area prints, or anything > 1.5 hours, fuhgetaboutit. The best results I've ever achieved with ABS were when I used blue painters tape and a glue stick. (Scotch brand permanent, others swear by the Elmer's purple extreme glue s...
