That said, PLA is picky about bed temps. You want it 50-60C, no hotter. You want a fat & slow first layer, it seems van der walls forces hold the plastic down as much as anything. What settings are you using? I'm printing at 70C. Seems to work fine on the 2 printers whose glass beds do work. My spe...

I take meticulous care in printing with the cleanest of clean glass beds, including periodic acetone washes and a very specific way of cleaning with alcohol, damp rag and a dry rag. All my ABS prints stick to the glass bed flawlessly using this method with almost 99% reliability (Whereas if I don't ...

Oh, so I got to print one off that's been posted somewhere in this thread. Got it! Thanks.

(Lol, found the link. It's the first post of this thread.)

Got everything wired and inserted the hotend into the extruder motor assembly and, what, it wobbles and is loose? Is that normal? So, I removed it and reinserted the original makergear extruder and it surely enough fit snug as a bug and wasn't playing around. What gives? Surely a loose extruder won'...

Aha, totally suspected they were indigeneous to the northeast, one place I've never been to. Okay, that's reassuring they weren't just all imported from foreign lands at one time or another. The southeast certainly did have interesting trees that I've never seen on the West coast. Spanish moss trees...

Well, damn. I guess I'll try extra hard in insert the blue sleeve into the tiny hole. (And, man, I already shortened the sleeves. Hmmm...) Well, I tried reinstalling it, and the sleeve went all the way upto the hole, but it wouldn't go into the hole due to fraying from past attempts. Well, I'm hopin...

DirectoryInfo d = new DirectoryInfo(p); Way more readable than: var directoryInfo = new DirectoryInfo(p); ;) If it makes you feel any better, I'm pretty sure I just copied and pasted that from a stack overflow thread, lol. Regardless, I would've done it much the same. I totally love it when the 'va...

Just got the E3D kit and I'm now installing it on my makergear. One thing I'm kind of befuddled by is why they designed this glass bead thermistor with thin metal legs to be inserted in a tiny hole in a metal body. Doesn't make sense, since the legs of the thermistor look like they'd easily short ou...

Lol. I don't like using 'var' because it makes it harder to read the code during maintenance/improvement/changes later on.
