I printed a Charizard. I don't think it was exactly that one. I don't remember having issues with the tail or supports, but the wing on mine was so thin it would disappear at any reasonable scale when sliced. I beefed up the wing membranes with Meshmixer (model attached). It sounds like you may be ...

Thingiverse seems to attract models that are artsy and impossible / absurdly difficult to produce with consumer-grade printers. I'd amputate the wings & tail & maybe the head, print the pieces aligned in the obvious orientations, then glue everything back together. Might be faster & less frustratin...

Bummer! What happens if you extend the brim out far enough that it overlaps itself? Would that give you a solid platform that you could get the support to stick to? (Rafts make such a mess on the bottoms of your prints, i hate to even suggest them.) But you got it to work with the manual rafts, (wh...

I'd prefer to at least get a chance to try it before shelling out for it :). I'm just going to make a habit of posting this response everywhere, because this is kind of silly it gets posted so much. IT HAS A TWO WEEK MONEY BACK GUARANTEE!!!! Also aware. Amount of software* I have bought in the past...

Cheers Jules :). Slic3r has limited options for Brim - I can just specify a width, and it's applied to each part which connects with the bed. Removes easily enough, but I haven't found it reliably preventing toppling of thinner/taller supports. Possibly Simplify3D has other options, but I'd prefer t...

This was my attempt at printing Hitman . hitman-little-large.jpg More detail here . Both printed using Maxx tooth white PLA - I purchased two spools of this - one each of the Economy and Pro variants. The small one was printed on the Economy variant, sliced at 0.15mm with supports enabled using slic...

Yeah, it's a curious one - I exported a simple 1x1 cube connector as ASCII, repaired that and exported as ASCII from netfabb. There are quite some differences in the results - difficult to know whether some of the differences are just in the sort order, but the repaired model has many more vertexes ...

Interesting, but the values given didn't fix it - still showing errors when loading in the netfabb version I have here. Tried a couple of variants with no success. Would be nice to find a solution to that one for sure. FWIW, you should be able to edit the code in place and re-run by pressing ctrl + ...

So I'm trying to wire up some motors on to a 3D print, using an Arduino to control them. I found that the driver boards for the motor (ULN2003) have male pins, and the only female connectors I had would have made the connecting wires way too long, so I figured I could just print some female/female c...

Cool - post a pic .
