Re: PETG failing to feed, any thoughts

Still no luck with PETG

; tried reprinting extruder with no luck yet!

Anyone know if there is a metal version of the filament drive? Does it work?

Re: Printing NEW M2 Parts in Simplify 3d Wont Work

Nevermind! Looks like the download was corrupt or something; downloaded it ok, but somehow did not work

I downloaded it again, and it is fine!

Sorry for the trouble!

Printing NEW M2 Parts in Simplify 3d Wont Work

When I import the file (trying to make a new ext ruder filament drive)

When I import it it says it is too large; but when I try to scale it, it does nothing. I am guessing it is saved in inches?

Any suggestions?

Re: PETG failing to feed, any thoughts

Sorry! V3b nozzle.

Few more questions while I have your attention, since you rock!

Can the Makergear use Stainless Steel nozzles?

If I use a larger nozzle, will it help to print larger prints faster?

Also, what is difference in the V4?
