Hi everyone, I am a Junior student studying in Hong kong, also a 3d printing enthusiast. Currently I am doing a personal project on 3d printing. My goal is to promote the 3d printing technology, and I would really want to know what are the purposes of a 3d printer??, specifically in the eyes of a av…

It would be nice to toggle materials as available/unavailable without having to delete the entire material pricing only to do it all over again when its available for print. My heatbed is down for the count and it can only Print PLA for the moment.

I have an assembly that consists of 11 parts. Is there a way to convert it into a single STL file, instead of having to open every part individually and convert them to STLs? Does anyone know if this is possible in SolidWorks?

bare glass isnt safe. Eventually a part will stick too much and the glass will shatter and most likely cut you. You need some sore of material on top of the glass. And since its heated bed you also would want borosilicate glass which is more durable to the heat cycles.

Put a glass bed right over top of it. You can get one very affordably on Amazon and it will make your prints adhere much better.

Thanks! Yeah I finally found that same information when I knew what to google. What happened is I had people on my house replacing my roof. And my dog is a 50 lb coward. I think she got anxious and just started going nuts. Whats amazing is a) she didn’t die on the 4 power cables she chewed through …

Usually: Red is heater cartridge doesn’t matter witch is witch (+ -) White is thermistor (heat sensor in head) also doesn’t matter polarity. So connect red with red white with white But if possible make a picture of the chewed cables (and also the Dog :D)
