I have a FFCP clone.
It will only print up to 8.9" height x 5.7" width x 5.9" length
Unfortunately I would like to print something that is long and flat 6.5" long x 3.5" wide x .125 thick"
Since I obviously do not have the width needed, what would happen if I tried to print that object On EDGE ?
I'm assuming I would have warp city and it'd be about as wavy as the surf on a windy day.
Do I have no choice but to buy a 2nd 3D printer with a larger build volume to get that extra .6 inches?
Split your article in two or more parts print and them separately. Then you can join then later.
You can most certainly print it without cutting it. Just rotate it on the bed (something like 30°) I believe...
Just rotate the object to fit the bed-space diagonally , in the slicer software, if it will fit that way ?Quote:

Our bed is now 11" long. :)
(There's a picture of the extenders in that thread but you must click the website's hidden-pages to see it ! ??? :( )
You can have it printed separately then assemble them afterwards.
I know can improve the "config" file of print area/size in makerware file folder, and then just put a glass on top of the heat plate.
You are mixing up your X,Y and Z dimensions.Quote:

The FFCP has a print bed of 8.9" width (X-direction) by 5.7" deep (Y-direction) and can print up to a height of 5.9" (Z-direction).
Your object fits perfectly on your printbed with room to spare in all directions????
you've got the dimensions the wrong way round.
It's because americans always put numbers in the wrong order.
so it's actually 8.9 long by 6 wide by 6 high.
so: 6.5" long x 3.5" wide x .125 thick"
will fit on the bed without any problems.
