A wonderfully fuzzy image with unreadable dimensions of what appears to be a rotating cam with a sharp profile is not a gear, but I suppose it's a...

If you can provide better drawings or an external reference to better represent your project, I am willing to help. The hand sketches are...

I would expect that no one is helping, because the information provided is insufficient to create the model. The images I've seen show a planetary...

@SDAJosh, I think curious aardvark's comment is directed at me. Too many reasons to enumerate here why the dinosaur is still in the box.

I was able to load the STL file into PrusaSlicer2 and after adjusting tons of settings, specifically aimed at the 0.1 mm nozzle, could get a linear...

I've configured my slicer for a 0.1 mm nozzle with 0.050 mm layer height, which is outside my printer's capacity, but I won't be printing it (grin)....

I use Meshmixer to check some models that may be questionable. When the model is imported, portions are outlined/highlighted in red and blue, while...

Prusa slicer shows 391,000+ modeling errors. Meshmixer shows that the entire outer surface has reversed normals. Prusa slicer repaired the reversed...

Both meshmixer and tinkercad have easy solutions. Meshmixer, import the model. Use Edit, Plane cut and use the rotation handles to spin the plane...

Something this small is especially challenging to print when the cross section in the horizontal plane is so tiny. By breaking apart the design and...

It seems that Nikolas wants to stop the heat before the print is done. Using PEI, which I agree, is a great coating, would most certainly release the...

If you consider that the model was created to be constructed from wood, each individual component would be cut from appropriate material. It's more...

Printed in the orientation you've displayed will result in layer lines running vertically when the stand is in the operational position. That's not a...

If you are having trouble removing the prints after cooling, then there is a much stronger chance your suggestion would work. With glass beds, once...

Your parameters are quite demanding. The reference to the "chopsticks" being 0.05 mm apart is well beyond many FFF/FDM printers. A tolerance test...

If you don't mind the first layer disengaging from the bed after it cools, it's okay to turn the heated bed off. Unfortunately, if the first layer...

That certainly is the way of some of the locked down printers, but the Pegasus uses ordinary pour-from-the-bottle goop, but it has to be theirs. Some...

I have to wonder if there's yet another factor for resins. I have a FSL Pegasus Touch still in the box. It uses only their product unless one pays an...

It sounds as though there's a frequency mismatch between your printer and the resin.

It's a design similar to the CD/DVD mouse trap powered cars I've seen on the 'net. It's a good bit more attractive and the easy assembly makes for a...

That's good news, as Tinkercad has nearly one hundred percent compatibility for 3D printing. I can't think of a single model that caused a problem...

If you want to toss the test portions of the models at me, I can print them to check your clearance before you pay the big bucks to have them...

I purchased a model print from Angus of Makers Muse to determine the print-in-place capability of my printer. I can print models with 0.4 gaps and...

If you require that there be no bracing on the back of the angled support, it's critical that you have sufficient mass at the bottom where you plan...

Your project is splendid! I intend to provide the link to the public library makerspace hoping they will use it for the teen maker programs they...

I'm not familiar with that particular printer, but there's bound to be an option to test the LCD panel for operational status. The web page shows...

I'm not hopeful about your results. Once it was "flatted" and repaired by PrusaSlicer and exported, I ran the preview and there are faces where I...

I loaded it into my slicer (Simplify3D) and ran a preview. It shows that a bit less than one third of the model is the first layer, a bit more on the...

PLA will transfer heat pretty well, which means you should be able to turn the heater block on and allow it a few minutes to soften the mass. It may...
