Re: Visualizing 3D Printed Thread Dimensions
I took your advice from another thread and set the z-offset to the difference between the desired 2mm and the 2.17mm it came out. That made the first layer nice and flat and shiny and actually connected! It also made the height 2mm exactly. However, I do wonder (-0.17mm offset seems like a lot) that...

Re: Visualizing 3D Printed Thread Dimensions
I'm having trouble getting my first layer correct. I was able to get the wall thickness just about right by adjusting the extrusion multiplier, but the first solid layer is always so thin. My first layers do not at all look like the beautifully squashed layers of the blue lines in the initial pictur...

Re: M2e Kit (Pre-order)
Ahh, this stinks. I was interested in a kit and even emailed but never received a response about whether it would be available. This thread had died so I gave up and eventually bought an assembled one. I was looking forward to assembling and learning the machine.

Hey again everyone, Another noob question here. I've read through another thread about corner ringing and it describes my issue exactly. The corners kind of bulge out in both directions on sharp corners. I read things to consider were reducing acceleration, adding small fillets, possible NEMA 17 dam...

Re: Eliminating the small errors
I figured the organic shape of the object was part of the cause. I printed some styluses tonight and they were both flawless, one with the vase-mode and one normal with 2 walls and hollow body. I can see the line where each layer started but they line up since the cross section of the cylinder is un...

Eliminating the small errors
Hey everyone! First post and first complete top-to-bottom process of design, slice, print for me. I love the printer so far. I printed two of the bracelets when I first received it and they are both flawless. Today I printed hexa.g that was included on the SD card and then sliced the hexa.stl using ...
