I ended up getting my Glass and the Very first 1 or 2 Prints were PERFECT, excellent Gloss Finish. The Nothing Stuck anymore, I went and bought a small spray bottle of "Isopropyl Alcohol" from...

I have a FlashForge 3D Printer, I know it can print PVA, but I only want the PVA to be used in Support Printing so I can wash it off afterwards

OK, THANK YOU .... I have downloaded Slic3 1.1.7 and have run the slic3r.exe ( or should I run the slic3r-console.exe ) Now to Play ... so this will replace my need for ReplicatorG? so I can create...

OK Back again, 3D printing is only when I run our of my other work :-)

Thanks 3dkarma, here is what I have available

Printer is the FlashForge Duel Extruder and I load everything through SD...

Sorry should have said I have a Duel Extruder

How do you use the PVA just for the Supporting pieces? I have some but not sure what to do next :-)

Here is the first test, I learnt two things. 1) the Fillet is on bothside ( Front and Back ) and 2) The Fillet must make it think something else is coming as it closes in the Capital Letter on Both...

Yes loading fonts I worked out from youtube, just couldn't work out how to save them so that each time I go new or open Blender my font is ready. I will check out the youtube link, thanks

Maybe if someone can sent me a Blender File with the Defaults corrected and then I can save the defaults here?

Whatever I have done now doesn't extrude anymore? I've put the Length of the Text at 5.39 cm and even tried extruding it to 2.26 metres without seeing any change

OK, .. I have set Blender up so it opens each time with the Word TEXT and the Scale set to 0.001 - all works perfect, now is there a way I can setup the height of the font so that can show up...

Thank You for your Time Geoff, I will try all that :-)

Oh DAMN .... I forgot something very Important, the old method I use allows me to Separate each Letter so that I can move it so that it touches the next Letter. Easiest way is to show you in photos....

My Printer is the FlashForge, I use ReplicatorG but its not connected to the 3D Printer so I transfer everything by SD Card

Thanks Richard, I have a few other programs that all work to a certain point and then I'm back to square one. Blender does everything I wanted quick and easy enough ( to a Point ) I'm just learning...

Thanks Everyone, I will find some time to experiment :-)

OK will give all that a Go, Thanks Geoff

Bought the Glass for my Printer Bed, now what do I have to do to allow the extra 3mm thickness of the Bed so that the Print Heads know its 3mm Higher?

Hello Geoff, I have begun the Learning curve of Blender and it seems to be perfect as it allows an easy and quick method of adding a Bevel. Problem I'm trying to get around now is the Sizing. I...

Bugger so Printing PLA will sometimes fail? After about 10 Different Prints my Last one came off the Build Table and the Back section was like 6mm Thinner then the Front so I'm guessing that's cause...

I normally manually modify the GCode but it doesn't take much to find the Bed is up to 30C and then if I change the GCode for the next Print to even 20C it never cools down from 30c. I'm Printing PLA

Just a thought, what if the Glass was cut Larger then the existing Bed, that way 4 Hold Down Clamps could be designed to be Glued to the underneath of the Class and these clipped to the existing Bed,...

What do others do to make their Prints look as good as Possible? I'm guessing each of the different Types of Filament ( eg. ABS & PLA ) have different methods?

I have bought some AceTone and will...

I just thought the two pieces would Fuse together as they both would be warm and side by side. Maybe I will draw them up and allow 1mm clearance so that they aren't too hard to also put together ;-)...

Thanks Geoff, I will enquire about it tomorrow from some of the Glass Places here
