Montana chalk spray (and others) are on Amazon with various colors from which to choose. White is the most common selection, for best reflectivity....

TGFT, (may I call you TGFT?), without a clear analysis of the failure mode, one can only make a guess. The photos of the character exhibit specular...

Without a clear analysis of the failure mode, one can only make a guess. The photos of the character exhibit specular reflections. The bright dots on...

First point, one hundred percent infill isn't going to make the part stronger than a lower value. One can have as low as 20 to 25 percent infill and...

yes, the printer will work only with g-code. What Cura does is convert a 3D model from OBJ or STL or 3MF to g-code, which you transfer to the...

You'll probably find that it's more effective to copy the sliced file (g-code) to the memory card and print from that. When you use USB, you're tying...

I've been contending with some personal issues and have mostly lost track of the three project assistance projects in which I'm involved. This means...

This forum is a good place to start. I'd be willing to take on the project if you can provide additional information, either in a private message or...

If you have Cura with your printer, it will work, but find out if you can get a printer profile for PrusaSlicer to match your printer. What...

Yeah, I figured that they would be too small to measure, but not too small to calculate. If you can provide an accurate outside diameter and a tooth...

Just for the experience, tell me the diameter of the gear in the photo and the number of ridges and if possible the depth of the grooves between the...

I’m away from the computer and cannot view the attachments, but the resolution of a filament printer is going to be based on nozzle size, as small as...

With dimensions, I can create an STL from an OpenSCAD file, but if it's as small as the last one, it's another challenging print, I'm sure.

For PLA printing, the bed can be from 40°C to 60°C. The lower end isn't too hot, but what can happen is as the bed cools the cat will find it...

For most printing, PLA especially, there's no risk. Some people will find the odors from ABS and ASA to be problematic. For the idler project,...

If someone tells you that PLA is as good as nylon, they aren't listening to you or asking you the right questions. PLA is a great hobbyist material,...

You won't be able to print vinyl, to the best of my understanding, but I think you might mean nylon. To print nylon with a filament printer, you'll...

If the axle hole is 1.5 mm that can be easily incorporated into the model code. The same applies to creating a groove or pulley, which would be...

Does this look like your objective? I've left the axle solid, as there were no dimensions in the post for the axle hole diameter. In an...

Your first post states, "Since I already have the scanner," which, in the context of 3D printing means a 3D scanner, not a flatbed scanner for...

The printer type/name/brand isn't all that helpful without an STL file to print. No scanner name yet? No software name that came with the scanner?...

The unidentified scanner (please identify) should contain appropriate software (for download?) that will create an appropriate mesh file from the...
