Another case of lifting corners

Morning: I've had my M2 for a bit over three months now and the printing has gone smoothly and except for my own dumb mistakes, exactly as programmed. Having said that I'm facing a slight dilemma with a few of my latest prints using black PLA. The corners of these prints lift off the table (see pics...

A Bed Spring

I finished printing this PLA "spring" which, when testing is complete, will keep the Z Axis/Bed from hitting the motor when the motor's disabled.

I know there are many different types of filament available, but I'm having so much fun (most of the time :oops: ) learning the 3D process and P...

Another satisfied Purchase

Hi all: My name is Mike and I'm a recent M2 printer purchaser. I've had the machine for nearly three months and it's been (nearly) flawless from the moment it was uncrated to now. It arrived on-time, well packaged and needing only a minor tweak to the bed level before printing a bracelet sample usin...

A Question concerning Maintanence

I've maintained the printer as described, but I need to know if this area (see Picture) is supposed to be ...
