    Not Printing Direct to Platform

    I'm relatively new to the world of 3D printing. I apologize in advance if this is a simple problem due to operator error.

    I uploaded a file to Replicator G. When I did, I selected move to center and move to platform. However, when I print the file it is creating a sub platform between the object and the 3D printer platform.

    Can anyone please advise me as to how I can have the object print directly to the platform without that sub platform?

    Thank you in advance.

    What you're printing is known as a sled in Makerware, or a raft in others like RepG (I believe). I don't use RepG, so I don't know how to deselect this option, but in Makerware it is just a checkbox when you export the .x3g file.

    I'd recommend using makerware instead: http://3dprintboard.com/showthread.p...-x86-computers
