Looks nice. My army of printers are arranged in a "Whereever I can put them" fashion, often resembling the favelas of Rio De Janeiro, or some of the cliffside houses on Italy's islands.

I'm on the west coast and the native tree species here seems to be pine needle trees (Douglas fir in my area, Noble firs in Seattle). Same with oregon. I thought the east coast would have leafy trees, but I was in the Southeast for a year and found the same thing: Pine trees everywhere! Is there any...

Okay, took about 15 minutes to write this c# code. Haven't tested it yet, but looks like it should work. Might have to string format the doubles to comply with STL specs, but let's see if I can get away with it. :D DirectoryInfo d = new DirectoryInfo(p); dl("Got directory info:" + d.FullName); strin...

Slic3r and Simplify3D can scale your models in any axis independently. You can scale it in S3D, but you must use the GUI as it offers no command line functionality. Not useful when I have to rescale 2000+ models. Slic3r offers command line functionality, but doesn't scale each axis independently. I...

Also, just a warning about Black ABS. All black ABS that I've seen on the market exhibit a high shrink rate, so even if you get it to stick using the above method, it will curl at the corners like a mofo (Also the one I tried (Esuns) contaminates the bed with nasty residue that seems to require acet...

I have no idea, but I have a feeling that SolidWorks' Flow Simulation is supposed to help. I'd personally be interested in flow simulation around a vehicle body, but not enough (currently) to do some serious work.

Hmmm... luckily for me, I have all the original SCADs so rescaling them would be a cinch. The downside is that I have 2000+ scads to rerender, took a good 2 days the last time I tried. (And, yes, I paralleled that shizniz on 7 different threads on my 8 core processor. Had to leave at least one core ...

innkeeper wrote:i'm a big fan of kapton tape for ABS, just keep it clean between prints with some acetone and it seems to work well for me.

What do you do about the air bubbles that form underneath the Kapton after using the printer? Or is that a problem that I only I've had with Kapton?

Gaaaah, ABS Juice on Glass keeps doing this to me' probably 1 out of 3 prints. Sometimes when it breaks free it actually tears a chuck out of my glass, which makes me even more aggrivated!. Aside from ABS juice (acetone and filament) directly on glass; is there another setup you guys have had good ...

I need to increase the size of my STLs by 7% in the x-axis and y-axis to compensate for the 7% shrinkage my replicator 3d printers exhibit. Is there an app that will do this? Doesn't necessarily need to have batch processing abilities (Would be nice), just needs to be able to call some kind of STL s...
