This is my third time typing this due to internet problems so I am going to make it short. Putting glue down on a layer of tape instead of using rafts worked perfectly for the first 5ish prints, but every recent print the base of the thing has been bent up in a rounded cone shape. I am adding plenty…

I saw a video where a guy created a platform in one piece that had moving/ working parts. - YouTube Time of pa…

I recently purchased the Da Vinci Jr and I asked my teacher if he had any extra filament I could have, so he gave me about 100m of a filament. Once the printer arrived I realized I can not use alternate spools. The filament has the same diameter and as far as I can tell with given specs it is the sa…

I have tried multiple ways, in fact the poor quality XYZ software won’t even print anything. I am sure there is a way to print in .stl and I just don’t know it…
