Thanks. BoozeKashi! I do think at some point I would like to try a .3 nozzle, but for right now I'm so absorbed in the Blender/design work i can't worry about anything else.

However, I did a good...

Yes, I know that outside in is bad for overhangs, but is it better for detail? I could set up a separate process for overhangs, switch from inside/out to outside/in when I need to.

In thinking about it, I think you're right - I'm up against the limitations of the nozzle size. With a .4 nozzle, every right angle is going to have a radius of .2 That's not objectionable with...

That tower is the only Blender model I've had any problems with. Simplify gave me a "very small, convert to millimeters?" message when I imported it. I think Simplify just had trouble parsing the...

Thanks CA.

You got me curious, and I just reimported that tower model into Simplify. It displays weirdly, as if it has all kind of flipped normals, although it doesn't. It displays as if a number...

My first time trying to post pics here and I'm not seeing a way to add text to the post...

Since you asked, CA, here's pics of the original firehouse that is the first building I modeled, the...

CA, I printed at 100 micron resolution. The piece I'm doing now I set to print at 200 microns for most of it, then change to 100 microns when it got to the top detailed surfaces. (I've learned how to...

So far the Buildtak is working very well for me. But I'm presently printing my biggest piece yet - we'll see how much trouble I have getting it off the bed.

But I'm using ABS, not polycarbonate.

Thanks for asking, BoozeKashi! I received the machine last Thursday, but didn't get to do my first test print until yesterday - just a 1 1/2" X 3/4" box that's included as a test object, in ABS. It...

Thanks, CA!

Well, I just purchased my Flashforge Creator Pro. I decided to go with the well established brand name where I know I can get tech support, online advice and replacement parts. That's worth the extra...

If I get a klic-n-print and need replacement parts - can I find them?

And can I use Simplify 3D on the Klic-n-Print?

I think I have made my decision. I think I am going to order a Flashforge Creator Pro tomorrow.

Anyone want to talk me out of it? :)

I'll admit I am concerned about the whole business with the...

BoozeKashi, I was just looking at the Prusa i3 MK2. It looks pretty sweet, but at present there's a 7 week wait. Can't do that. I saw some available on eBay but I believe they some kind of clone...

Well, you guys have given me a lot to think about. :)

I have a friend who is fairly involved in 3D printing and a young little genius, into robotics and math that makes my head spin and so on. He...

Curious Aardvark - whoa, the klik and print is only $399?

How is the reliability? How long have you been using yours? Is it twitchy? Much downtime, extruder clogs, recalibration etc?

Curious, can you glue and paint the pet-G?

I'll definitely research it - this is the first I've heard of it. I'll research everything you've mentioned, in fact. I knew joining this forum was a...

Thanks for the feedback, Ralph! I'll research the Nobel SLA, but I'd be kind of shocked if I can afford an SLA.
Thanks also for the comments on the Ultimaker Original. As I understand it, the Plus...

Thank you, Tristarbot! I will research this one carefully and consider it.

Hi Folks, I'm new here and new to 3D printing. I've been contracted to do a complex model in N (1/160th) scale for the New York State Bureau of Historic Sites. I have to make architectural models...
