WOW, a dimensional change? Good luck as I have never seen that before.
Upload your .gcode file please. I would ask for the .x3g but no damn viewer do I know to look at it. :(

What material would be good to use for some kitchen/bathroom items? Like a soap dish or grating to set items on in the sink.
These will not be directly contacting food but will need to be cleaned and maybe go in the dishwasher.
MG sells dishwasher safe FDA approved PLA.
It is kinda a pain in the rear to print with...its VERY soft and likes to clog up feed gears....but good stuff.

Also, using natural ABS and then soaking it like described in prior post would work, though probably not dishwasher safe.
Thanks for the information. Yes, it is being printed in the Natural Bone ABS. I was going to paint it with Acrylic paint and then clear coat with Krylon Fusion per this thread (http://diyfishkeepers.com/forum/show...afe-clear-coat). There isn't a lot of fish in the tank and they're not expensive fish but it would be a shame to lose them due to toxicity. I'm definitely not rushing the project as I didn't have the 2 bridge ends come out perfect and with a little touch up they should be ready for sanding.
I'll have to try out the heatgun method with some parts as I tried XTC Smooth On Clear Coat but I don't think it's aquarium safe. Below is a stormtrooper head done with XTC:

I've been busy getting my dry box installed. Here is the new setup:
Where's Waldo?

Bingo... I had to move some hanging files and build in a shelf. There is room for two boxes, max of 6 rolls.

And the manifold for two boxes (only one box hooked up). I'm not thrilled with how this attaches to the QiDi. Will probably redo it.
