Thanks mjolinor can you still use supports when its only being raised by 2mm?

Because i need a flush switch mechanism on the back of the case, and theres no other way i can do it.
Thanks for the reply!

Okay i am prototyping a product using a 3d printer, and i am doing a type of switch mechanism, and this side has to be flat on the bed, but it has to indent in abit, about 1cmx3cm and 2mm thick, but...

what is the setting enable combing? not really understanding that one, thanks!

Sir, i think you may be a genius! on expert settings there was a box ticked saying solid infill top, i just unticked it, and the print time dropped by 4 hours, you may have sussed it!

I have tried a different slicer with no luck, i literally have no idea what is going on. The picture in cura is what i want to print and the other pictures are what actually happens, it just puts a...

Hello everyone, I've been printing my product idea and for some reason when printing it (it's like an open box with small compartments in it) it prints another layer over the top of it, it's not...

Is there anywhere you can print the exact model of a phone?
As i have searched thingiverse and all i can find is phone cases and stands,
Thanks!

What Caliper would you recommend getting?Cheaper the better, but accurate as well!

Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the feedback! The seller has good feedback, and has sold brand new ones before, I just don't understand how he is able to sell them for£400 less than what they retail for.
Thanks!

I am looking to get an ultimaker 2, and have noticed on Ebay they go for around £1400 brand new, where as online its around £1700-800.
How comes people are able to sell it that much cheaper on Ebay,...

So I cant extract them from thinigiverse to further edit? Damn
So from what I get you are saying i will have to design the whole case from scratch to be able to further edit it?
Thanks

Thanks! I did click on it, didn't realize how useful that site was though, it has all the phones I need!
What is the best 3d print software, that i can get files from that website and then further...

Thank you!!!!

Are their available templates for phone cases for different phones I'll be able to download then further edit to ensure my case will fit exactly onto the phone?
Thanks!

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

Haven't got as far as designing it yet unfortunately, that's a completely different and new challenge I shall be trying to overcome in the next couple of months!
Just wondering once I have mastered...

As the title says, can you make good durable phone cases with a 3d printer, specifically the ultimaker 2. Will the sides that hold the case to the phone be strong and hard wearing?
How long will a...
