I usually print with PETG and I might have discovered something after I printed a new extruder end out of PETG. I was having problems feeding and someone here suggested drilling the hole in the nozzle after the drive gear to a diameter of 2 mm. I did so and it worked great after that. Since we are u...

As setting out in the sun heat or engine heat? I don't know why ABS or PETG (more flexible) would not work. Both would tend to melt at the 400 Deg F range.

Resistive Wattage is calculated VxA or 120 x 6 = 720 Watts. There is also a Power Factor to be factored in, but since this a is DC output power supply I am not sure what that would be. But 720 Watts is a lot of power for a 3D printer, I think the answer above stated 200 watts for the bed and I would...

So what I found was getting digitizing done starts with a base cost of $300. The 123D Catch software is having issues according to the Forum and the Agisoft Photo software is nice but I can't get a decent model. Since I don't do this for income I can't justify $3000 for a good pro grade entry level ...

I'm quite happy with the David SLS-2 setup. I bought the David 4 software, my own K132 projector, Industrial CCD, Lens, V-rail, printed the mounts for the projector and camera and bought a new laptop to run it all. My all in price was $2100 w/ the laptop. On the David forum there all the info you n...

Well I more or less gave up on 123D Catch, I realize it's all in the lightning and quality of photo but they should at least be somewhat usable. I have emailed Agisoft for a trial key for the Standard Version but a little apprehensive as the company is located in Russia, home for a lot of Internet h...

I did check out the Agisoft Photoscan software and it looks interesting and I will give it a try. But I want to try 123 Catch first. Yes my digital camera would be prefect for this as I can use my new remote trigger... finally. One question, what file formats can it Export? I use Fusion 360 and I kn...

I've got 123 Catch downloaded and reading up on now. Might get my good Canon SLR digital out and give it a try. I did locate some digitizing places near me, one is in Minneapolis and looks to be very upscale and knowledgeable, the issue is the cost of course. Thanks for the tip on the other Autodesk...

I know about Autodesk 123 Catch never used it but I am not sure if it can do Scaled 3D files? I am downloading it right now to try. I need to take files into Fusion 360 create STL files and print repaired and scaled copies. As anyone used 123 Catch or is there a affordable online service you can sen...

I'd think the only real fix is to re-spool filament to another good reel and at the same time have it running through a gauge that would trip the whole process to off if it hits an oversize spot in the filament. Kind of like when you buy bulk fishing line to fill your reel. Or just find another bran...
