Re: Single V4 Extruder First Look.

I second what Steve says. The M2 is great as is. I am only upgrading to the v4 as I wanted to have a second nozzle, but the v3b is still working great for me. The only thing I wish I would have done sooner was setup octoprint as being able to remotely watch/control your prints is great. Have fun wit...

Re: Single V4 Extruder First Look.

Re: Help printing threads on this part

Thanks Ed and benavery. I will first try again with what benavery suggested. If it doesn't work out, I will have to do what Ed suggested and split it down the middle. My current modeling software (MoI) doesn't support the import of stl files so I am going to have to find something to split the stl f...
