Apr '19 - Hi @tekniksinc can you describe what state the printer is in when it stops? Is it making a noise (as though it's jammed)? Is the nozzle still extruding...
Apr '19 - Hi @FormlabsDK very excited about this release, I've been waiting! One key question on my mind is how the resin cartridges and print beds are detected/...
Apr '19 - Hi @devdeque I'd probably try printing with another material - PLA, for example. I know you need to print in ABS but printing with another material and...
Mar '19 - Hi @diogomaniac I can't give you any definite choice, but I can say I've been very happy with my CR-10S so far. It's not perfect, but it does a good jo...
Aug '16 - HI @Harisahmad , @MindFuLL I'm not sure the extrusion temperature is the problem - I print PLA at 217 all the time and it's fine - and Harisahmad has t...
Dec '18 - Hi folks, here's my experience unboxing and setting up my new Creality CR10S-Pro a week or so ago. Enjoy! http://cobnut3d.co.uk/creality-cr10s-pro-unbo...
Oct '18 - Hi @ashton_fora I'd respectfully suggest you need a lot more than "only" a shop in a good place and a full body scanner. If you're asking the questions...
Oct '18 - Hi @hexbugspider PLA will probably need some "help" to stick to a glass bed, but it's one of the more forgiving materials in terms of bed adhesion so y...
Oct '18 - Are we sure this was SLA/SLS? There are some pretty big layer lines visible. I'd have said FDM, personally, albeit a high-quality one. Can we identify...
Oct '18 - Hi @Sam_Wyatt that is, without a doubt, the worst 3D print I've seen in a long time. It's so bad, it makes me think there's probably one single thing t...
Oct '18 - Hi @achelp , as @Jory has said, shrinkage is not really machine-specific but rather the nature of the plastics used in FDM printing. FDM really isn't t...
Oct '18 - My trusty 2016 FF Creator Pro is showing its age. With over 3200 hours on the clock, almost 9 kilometers of filament, the print quality and reliability...
Sep '18 - Have you tried marking the position of the adjustment screws to see if they're actually moving? If they're not, something odd is happening. How close a...
Aug '18 - Hi @Odense3DPrint the problem with glass is (for me at least) that it's really only PLA that you can print directly, everything else will still need so...
Aug '18 - Hi @Reta firstly, I'd be extremely wary of anything on Kickstarter. While some projects have ended producing decent machines that go on to sell and wor...
Sep '18 - The Crealty CR-10s 3, 4 or even 5 springs to mind with 300x300, 400x400 or 500x500 print beds. It does lack many of your requested features, and I've n...
Aug '18 - Hi @TAHammerton can you see whether the extruder motor and/or knurled wheel is turning? In other words, is the machine trying to extrude, but the filam...
Aug '18 - Hi @User_1240 why are you steering clear of calling this a DLP printer? That's what it is, it uses a projected image rather than a laser, yet in your K...
Aug '18 - How did the original surface fit if the screws are proud of the bed?
Aug '18 - Hi @wo4sunhao I'd agree with @Jeff_Johnson , don't go straight to buying a new printer under the assumption that there's something wrong with the N2, i...
Apr '18 - Only seen the initial press releases on this and, other than the build area and the self-levelling (I thought the UM3 had this already?), it doesn't se...
Dec '17 - Hi @CRyan while the feel of a product can be persuasive (who doesn't like something that feels solid and well made?), at the end of the day it's print...
Dec '17 - Hi @zahn1 your shortlist is pretty much the same one I'd suggest, and all three printers are decent machines, so I think the final decision is going to...
Sep '16 - Hi @Ernie_Prescott I've only had to level the bed when I've changed it; in two months of owning a FF Pro I've not seen the bed "drift" from its origina...
Oct '16 - I have to say I'm not that impressed with what I've seen. The decision to go with two nozzles seems odd given that other manufacturers are looking more...
Oct '17 - Hi @Thatzgacho1 if you're committed to using ABS only (and can I ask why?) then one major consideration is an enclosed print bed. ABS is very prone to...
Nov '16 - My new PEI bed is working well and warp is a thing of the past, hurrah! However, as they say, I now have a new problem… Take a look at the bottom of th...
Aug '17 - Hi @AppliedAdditive it just sounds like your nozzles are not aligned, as @MaceyTech3D says. It's easy enough to fix, and the right thing to do. A quick...
Dec '16 - Hi @bobo123 I'll page @wirlybird as he has both FF Pros and Qidis…
May '17 - As @gr5org suggested, the usual trick with Marvin is to print more than one at a time (or print something else the same height, as suggested, like a 10...
May '17 - Just one thing to add - the Prusa i3 is now being sold as the Mk2S, with upgraded bearings and rods, so anything you've read about the bearings being s...
May '17 - Like @tabbott , I'd say that if you're seeing what looks like a lack of filament, I'd be looking primarily at the settings that control filament flow,...
May '17 - I got some Micro Swiss full metal hot ends and they work just fine. Not sure what your definition of "cheap" is, but if this is the first time you've r...
May '17 - To be honest, I'd rather work out why it's not sticking to the bed - this "purge" routine is a useful start to any print to clear baked filament from t...
May '17 - HI @theaquain this certainly isn't a fault in the S3D software itself, depending upon the area being supported, the first layer after supports will eit...
Nov '16 - Hi @Sean_Soso well, it's certainly crooked and whoever did that shouldn't be charging you any money! Not sure how it's crooked though - the left-hand s...
Aug '16 - Hi @runninred57 the electronics involved in temperature controlling something like this are really quite simple; the kit appears to come with a thermis...
May '17 - Hi @Charb33 since you're new to printing, I'll explain in a little more detail. FDM prints (the type that the Prusa makes) are not usually solid. They'...
Apr '17 - Hi @c_geometry while I don't necessarily agree with @Toadums that nozzle levelling is difficult on the FF Pro (I've done it twice so far and had no pro...
Apr '17 - My Prusa appears to have developed a case of the morning after shakes… A couple of prints I've done today came out with distinct "ribbing" up the sides...
Mar '17 - The decision really comes down to whether you think the original Prusa is overpriced. If it's not overpriced, then any machine that costs less than the...
Feb '17 - Hi @slugw0rth Simplify does have a ridiculously large retraction setting for the FF Pro (12 or 15mm I think) so that might be an issue. I use mine with...
Mar '17 - I'd second @wirlybird 's comment; I always pre-heat the bed and leave it for a decent while before heating the extruder(s), especially if the machine i...
Mar '17 - Hi @markpot the problem with oiling bearings is that it can make them more susceptible to gathering dust/particles, which can then cause further proble...
Dec '16 - @Maker5162 do you have any evidence of the claim that the Prusa "sacrificing performance in the long term" and needing "lots of maintenance to maintain...
Feb '17 - Hi @Tony1170 I can't speak for your specific case, but it seems that almost all these type of problems with these machines is down to the wiring. I've...
Feb '17 - Hi @ejalal the simple answer is that it's ABS and ABS warps, which is why I try to avoid printing with it when possible. Even with all the tricks in pl...
Feb '17 - Hmm, very impressive, as @Garyg said, it's a very neat parcel of plastic you have there! I'd perhaps be cautious about heating it excessively; it's har...
Jan '17 - Hi @3DPrintandStuff welcome to the wonderful world of printing with ABS! This is (mostly) called "delamination" and is something that ABS is prone to,...
Jan '17 - I've heard a lot of good things about this material so thought I'd get a couple of reels. They arrived yesterday (white & clear) but I'm having real tr...
