As far as I know this Qidi Tech. It's who I bought mine from. Except for $629 shipped price.

Looks good. Have know idea what a Pip-Boy is.
Strongly recommend you watch Simplify3D tutorial videos to get the most out of the software.

The Pip-Boy is a wrist-mounted computer system used by Vault-tech employees in the popular Fallout videogames.
With the release of Fallout 4 Bethseda (the studio that makes most of fallout games) was offering Pip-Boys. But they didnt make nearly enough of them, and they were $300. The game has an app to use on smart phone that links with the game, so you can use your Pip-Boy game function on an actual one your wearing.
I didnt get one but would LOVE to have one!!

Hey guys I had a few questions, I looked around in this thread but i'm not exactly sure what to call this. I've had some issues when trying to remove my models, I have waited till they are completely cooled and I've tried removing them when the bed is still warm. The back of the print stays stuck on the heat bed and part of the model comes off. I calibrate before each print and still have this issue. This is ABS, does anyone think PET or Kapton would help? Or any suggestion as to why this could/would be happening? Thanks!

Ugh, can't wait to get this thing delivered. Says it should be here tuesday.

I bought S3D in preparation. I'm using it with my Prusa i3 right, and it's night and day over the other slicers.

I got S3D pretty nailed down watching all the videos. Custom supports is a blessing, and the amount of control I have over the objects is way better than anything else I've used. I really like how you can program different settings for different layers.

I can take pics of the unboxing if we want updated pics for this thread. From what I've read there's been a few changes. It might be helpful for me to note them with pictures.

What bed temp? Looks like you're cooking it to the bed. Trying lowering bed temp. Looks like adhesion isn't your problem.

The bed temp is 110C

Awesome! Now if they would just let me verify e-mail there i could download it!
You just made my day bud...Im getting a Pip-Boy!!


Was also curious as to what file types this S3D yall talk about accepts. Im a hobbist at best, my only experiance is with Blender and a tiny bit with 3dMax. Was planing on using blender for redering most models...wondering if Im gonna need to convert file types. Blenders default output is .blend of course.

edit:
I think .obj is considered a native format for blender...I know Ive exported stuff in that format without issue at anyrate...
