Yes, but we already deal with that. If we want specific orientation we have to deal with a ton of supports in many cases.

Only as a result of your perspective. Height isn't strictly in relation to the orientation of gravity, and if you are that upset about it, turn the printer 90 degrees :cool:
Compared to the...

Edit: Was not first done here, but this one one of the first applications available to the general public.
Fillers in ABS are not terribly common in the plastics industry. While it is possible that there are more, typically ABS is only filled/reinforced (note that these two are not the same thing) with...
Which would be right in line with what was stated, that hotter temps risk degradation of the material.
When processing plastics the lowest temperature you can manage to get working is always...
As with all things, every adjustment must be made "consistent to quality", so every rule has it's asterisk.
Sadly the 3d printing industry has absolutely zero standard when it comes to filaments,...
Hydrolysis of PETG causes brittleness as the polymer breaks down when processed with significant moisture content.
As does excess heat.
Since most people don't have a major problem printing...
That would depend on what your specific symptoms are.
I started out with a default profile, which printed ok, and then tweaked one setting at a time to learn how it affects my material.
I refuse to use my computer to run a print. If the computer updates or shuts down mid-print it's boned.
Just my two cents.
Every time I mention that RH has nothing to do with it I get laughed out of the room. I only ever use it as a practical example that most people understand (as above). 50% RH at a pretty standard...
Depends whether you only require it to be dry enough to avoid cosmetic issues, or structural ones.
For the most part I think that the typical printer is not concerned with the extreme limits of...
Now that's innovative.
Well, not really. Nature figured it out first, but to apply it to a mechanical device is impressive.
Oh boy. Then my posts can be experience points!
And since the last post was 199, this will bump my title to engineer in training without contributing anything at all to the forum. Though strangely this useless post winds up being on topic here in...
They should be set more along the lines of how much posting you do rather than the titles like "engineer" and stuff.
I am not an engineer. I should not have engineer next to my name. (yet, give me...
Use your new 3d printer to design and build a larger 3d printer!
Nothing is non-conductive. Static buildup can result in a nasty shock on plastics because the voltage is high enough to allow current flow across the surface and into your fingers.
Which is why...
What a crock of shit.
Anyone who owns a 3d printer can easily design and print a firearm, even if it does only work once. This does nothing but infringe upon rights. You can go online and post how...
Given that they still have not responded to multiple emails I sent them in regards to a cube *pro* for professional use, I wouldn't suggest them to anyone. It's been months now. They lost my...
Loss of jobs in what field?
Certainly not manufacturing, as no 3D printer can possibly keep up with mass production. Any machinist that used to create one off parts can simply retrain to run a 3d...
I have a monoprice maker select i3, which is a rebrand (not a clone or copy, but the same machine with a different sticker) of the wanhao machine. Wanhao is one of the highest rated consumer printer...
Yeah, that's actually a decent thing to do for small batch. The strength isn't up to par, so those cavities simply don't last as long, and there's a risk of voids messing up the surface finish of the...
Yeah. As answered this is not only possible, but is a standard practice in some portions of the industry. Steel is used to print intricate cooling channels within a tool (really only used for high...
It isn't a copy, it's a rebrand. Made in the same factory by the same people with the same components. Only difference is the words painted on it.
I have it myself. Very moddable, and out of the...
Are you paying for it?
