That is an interesting experiment. Maybe the farther you get away from the bed, the less difference temperature makes? Wonder if you had it go from hot to cooler temps it would be the same. I've...

For me, when I first got my printer I was attributing to many problems to bad bed leveling. Once you get a print to lay down and the first few layers come out good then the bed is level. And...
Anyone tried this software yet? It sounds promising. If it could save some time with mesh repair it would be worth the $50 for sure.
I usually adjust the angle on the auto support function to get the results I want. When you are looking at the model on the right side- the bottom tool button is for manual supports (looks like...
Hatchbox and Makergeeks- check! I've looked at makergeeks site before... their prices really aren't too bad. Hatchbox is one of those that is so cheap that I was afraid to try it. That is good to...
Here's a really good tutorial using free software, Netfabb Basic. I found it helpful. :)

I would really love to hear what filament you guys are using in your FlashForge printers. I know we have some earlier threads on this but they get dated pretty quick as new filament makes and types...
This is great! Nice work!
Aha! I should have known you would have been working on the whole suit. You do seem to be a bit of an overachiever, eh? :D Haha!
I have been wondering about Thingiverse myself. I don't know if...
i know right?! I posted a picture to show my friends and people said the same thing- when is the rest of the costume done.....I did see this though- how funny would that be?!!!
...
All done!!! I'm so happy with how it turned out. This is by far my favorite thing I have printed so far. It's also the biggest project I've tried but I learned a lot working on it, particularly about...
Hey guys- didn't know if you saw but MyMiniFactory.com has made some nice changes to their site. The best change is that they aren't using the credit system. All downloads are free like Thingiverse....

Welcome and have fun with the new...
The size is great- perfect for my teen son. I have it glued together now and it fits good. But even on me I can see out of the eyes no problem. I've filled the seams and waiting for it to dry then...
That looks fabulous! Airbrushing has such a nice finish to it. Great job!
Starting to glue together! Printing the last two pieces tonight. :-) You can see the size of it in this picture- it looks so cool all ready.

Great! That helps a lot. Printing number 13 now. Excited to put it together. My son and his friends are super excited about this project- they have me giving updates to them as well. So this will...
Progress so far.... I have 5 or so parts to go. A little bit of cracking in the ABS on the front face plates but should be able to fill them. I love how its turning out. The pieces fit together...
I am with you on the scattering across too many projects thing. I tend to be ridiculously ambitious with my to-do lists anyway, and there is something about these printers that is addictive. It's all...
Geoff this is really first rate modeling. I am going to work on getting these plated and on my sd card so I can start prints whenever I have time. It always impresses me that people share their work...
thanks is I will give Tinkercad a try- can't hurt! Do you use that as your primary design software? Or more for repairing?
Yes that how I usually do it, but as I said, the mesh is too dense and boolean errors out, I've tried everything I can think of to make it work. That's why I was curious what other methods people use...
Hey guys! This doesn't technically apply only to flashforge owners, so I hope it's ok that I post this here.
Now that I'm getting more comfortable with printing my own designs I'm looking at my...
Maybe post a little video of it? That may help determine the problem. I wonder if it's an issue of getting the PLA to stick and lay down on the bed? It's hard to say without seeing it. Pictures or...
So you don't have a printer? Or can model? What made you want to try this for your business? I see you've started similar threads at least twice before and others have given you good answers. You can...
