Slic3r's experimental builds have this feature but im not quite sure how to use it yet. You would load up a primary part, like the block and then a secondary modifier, like the cylinder. you would then tell slic3r that anywhere that the modifier item intersects the primary item, it follows a specifi...

Thanks for the refresh JSC, I was having some woes on the original holder as it didnt print nicely and the razor slipped a lot. do you recommend that the shield is printed in the orientation provided or to rotate it standing up?

If you have a Dremel (Who doesnt?) you can also try friction welding. Depending on the case, it may be a viable option.

funny how the Anti-Virus is always the culprit...

Dual boot a new OS while you try to recover the old one.

pm'ed you both.

so jealous. I really want one for home, I hardly get time to tinker with the one at work

hmm I dont foresee that i will be using a VIki anytime soon. Is it possible to use the M600 command with pronterface? after appropriate firmware updates of course
