    Prototype engine valve cover

    I've been using experimental. 1.2.7 just came out a few days ago and is much more stable than 1.2.6. Support material interface is much better than current stable version 1.1.7. I'm using the experimental for everything now.

    Prototype engine valve cover

    Looks like Slic3r. Impressed that those pillars at the front didn't topple. Also in Slic3r itself you can do variable layer heights so towards the top when you have a more shallow contour you could specify a smaller layer height for better resolution on that curve (as if the print didn't...

    gmax1.5xt and simplfy3D

    That should do it! But have one hand on the kill switch when you start that print, seriously.

    Funny you mention bondo: we've had some good results on that front. viewtopic.php?f=15&t=273

    gMax table

    It shouldn't come to that.

    gMax table

    That's the belt tensioner "spring", it comes included as far as I know. I personally don't like them but they're necessary on the gMax. When you have a loop of belt that long it's important to keep it taut.

    gmax1.5xt and simplfy3D

    That's correct. I'm actually running my own line of printers, hence the different parameters. The purpose of the image was to answer your question about running bed printer models. Make a different process (the dialog box open) for each printer/ filament/ setting combination, etc... That's...

    gmax1.5xt and simplfy3D

    The invert Y has to do with the virtual table view in Simplify, nothing to do with the printer. I've done a lot of tuning but it does work out of the box. Just bed sizes and homing dir Y to max.

    E3D Volcano

    First print with volcano (after the customary calibration cube) is a huge prosthetic/ functioning hand model for a client. I'm definitely starting to see the need for Z Lift on retraction. That said, the retraction itself shouldn't need to be that large. Volcano barely drools if at all. E3D...

    gMax 1.0 custom mod to 1.5/XL (am I crazy?)

    I'm with you on that last part, I just got my 0.8 Volcano printing this morning! Those are very thick strands indeed!

    Power supply cord doesn't Match up with Manual (LCD Screen)

    Re: Power supply cord doesn't Match up with Manual (LCD Scre I recommend imgur, it's the easiest to use, and then you can include the link to the image here. Kyle will take care of you.

    Missing Z Axis Lower Right Bracket In 1.5 Part Download File

    Re: Missing Z Axis Lower Right Bracket In 1.5 Part Download According to the manual the left and right parts are mirror images of each other. I went ahead and mirrored the identical left/ right parts across the XY Plane, corrected for units (Inventor likes to assume inches upon import), and...

    E3D Volcano

    That's pretty awesome. I love the green on black look. Customized fan shroud I take it? I need to make a block design for Volcano. But first, Chimera. Still waiting on all this from E3D. What we do is use a 20x40 beam for a "double-tall" X Axis. Then we have the space to proportionally...

    Layers Shifting

    Re: Sudden X-Axis problems, do I need a new Stepper Driver? Could have just said 'de nada' dude. We get Spanish and are more so technically minded people that can understand literal translations. :) Yes, Volcano experiences, please. My all-in order includes chimeras so I'm still waiting on...

    E3D Volcano

    Re: E3D Volcano Print Speeds Increasing your temp for all other layers will help, and slow down your first layer as needed b/c you don't want to increase that temp. That's what I like about printing on glass, I print PLA at 220 and have the ability to go all the way up to 280 without any worry.

    Errors printing over USB

    This would explain a lot, Marcus. I've had one of my printers just stop moving mid print and sit there with the nozzle at full temp until I discovered it sometimes hours later... Not good. This was with OctoPrint. Will go back to SD cards for that one. Also looking into Astroprint as...

    Guys, use imgur. Copy the bbcode line (2nd from the bottom right) into your text and it'll show up inline with your post.
