In the G-Code Tab of S3D is a Global Z-Offset slot - that is where the people who need to do that would do it. If you have the new Rev. E machine, you do not need to do that . How do I find out if I have a Rev. E machine? where do I find the exact specs of my machine? thanks again from this novice!

Hi, I have a few basic questions: A. I have a V4 makergear preassembled, bought about 1 month ago. How do I know which hot end I need? You need the V4 hotend. I am using S3D and find it to be great but daunting. I am trying to follow the forum's instructions on printing with PETG. B. How do I add s...

I generally put a filament retract in my ending GCode so it pulls 10mm of plastic out of the hotend. It's pretty straightforward, and lets you keep the plastic loaded while still allowing for you to manually tug it from the cold extruder later (since it's not cemented into the hotend).

can anyone give me the best settings for PLA on PEI on fine print mode?
Also ABS and PETG?
thanks

thanks Jules,
I have lowered the hotted and its much better,
I will have to get 1000 grit sandpaper and try, but for now it printed well.

Hello, I was having much trouble getting a quality print, many times corners or parts would peel up and later get hit with the hot end when passing over. I tried different solutions (glue stick, hairspray) and now have just installed a PEI sheet on the glass bed. I relaunched expecting a huge improv...

thanks everyone for your great opinions, wasn't sure if it could have been a short through the USB cable, honestly its been years since I have see a whole computer crash. For the last number of years Mac made it so crashes were only apps that get blocked and you can manually restart the application....

Hello Insta, regarding your retract code, where do I add this and how? If I look at my end script from within simplify3d it says: M104 S0 ; turn off extruder M140 S0 ; turn off bed G91 ; relative mode G1 Z10 ; lift 10mm G90 ; absolute mode G28 X0 ; home X axis M84 ; disable motors where would I inse...

thanks again Insta,

but is the Viki the same as the LCD display that MakerGear sells? or different?
How are they different if so?
Which is better?

Which is easy to learn and intuitive?

thanks
