    Thank you JohnnyV that is good, I am going to seriously consider Simplify3D. I did also think perhaps my extrusion was off and I did hear a clicking noise in the the extrusion motor (though material...

    So what does the rubbing alcohol do? And actually I have been using the glue stick, which I scrape off the bed after a print and relevel. Though I was suspicious of my leveling procedure and I am...

    thanks for the input, I think the dime sized disc I replaced with a Raft... i discovered a few things:

    I think with my PLA printing I want the first few layers much warmer than the higher layers. ...

  7. qidi printer having problems with larger prints...larger print considerations?

    I was here in december (man time flies) and got some great advice and manage to churn out a few cool 3d prints (namely some tiles for a board game called catan) worked great! Though I realized...

    I thought layerheights were limited by my nozzle, and I couldn't go past .2mm, so if i get those overhangs with .2mm guessing my printer won't do .1mm as a decreases. I did print some other models...

    I also couldn't resist I printed the vault boy one more time and it came out pretty good!! though its like a few of the layers got off balance or something (detailed in picture) other than that (in...

    So this is with the 10% infill, that top gap no idea whats causing it, bigger than the last time I tried with the diff diameter and temp. looks almost like an air bubble/pocket burst... I am not...

    Actually I just did another print and did lower the temperatures...It is a pretty decent looking cube finally. That was at 195c. The top is still rough and the layers near the top seem to bulge...

    Thanks so much Alibert and Sebastian, and that manual to Sailfish was a total treasure. I ran through the calibration, mostly checking my diameter of my filiment and I used that to print the...

    Thanks again Alibert, I did (well am doing another print) I set it to 195c but didnt halve the speeds. I will have to google the 100mm passing filament... cause I have no idea where in makerware...

    Okay I almost got this. My replicatorG did something funky....basically after I put on full support (or even the other one) it gets stuck in the generating toolpath for model. I see the Skeinlayer...

    I think I figured out part of the issue, in replicatorG it has a checkbox for raft/support but you still have to select Exterior or Full. I am trying a print again with Raft/Support and material set...

    Ty again. When you say first layer not bonding right what causes that? And I will have to find in replicatorg where to set the supports on. Guessin you just cut the supports out when the model is...

    Thanks again, but I am curious how one adds supports? Is that like the model creator has to do that? or do the replicatorG and stuff recogize tings that would be printed in air and able to add...
