I've used this STL Repair site in the past to fix that very problem. Easy to use and works most of the time.

Been testing the Ember Printer the last few weeks and so far I really like it. Cannot speak to the longevity of the Vats but I think you can buy two for $100US whenever they get cloudy. Their printer...
I just started working at the US distributor for DWS machines but we don't have an X-FAB yet. Seen a few prints from it and they look pretty good. Heard they're still troubleshooting the material....
I think ukuleles have trouble staying in tune in general.
The learning curve for CAD software is much higher than the learning curve for 3D printing, so I think for the time being there is a market for people selling their CAD designs. I've never sold any...
I was using LiquaCast. It's a light pink color.
By the way, about the divesting liquid, how well does it work and is it expensive? I was doing mechanical divesting of Formula and I cannot say that it can win any stars in the favourite activities...
Yeah rapid burnout will not work with Plasticast. Tried it myself and my results were similar to yours.
You could try silicone molds instead of rubber as a cheaper option. No vulcanizer, just mix...
Also placing the thickest supports do the trick. Do not use thin supports with this material. - A lot of the work I do has pretty fine detail and the thick supports left lots of cleanup on the piece....
I upgraded on my travel laptop just to try it out. Don't know if it installed any support drivers for 3D printing. I think you have to download an app to install the drivers. The printer I use is a...
So I upgraded to Windows 10 and the first thing they ask is if you'd like to use their "Express Settings". I pressed "Customize" to see what settings they were referring to.
Send your contacts...
Windows 10 sounds similar to Xbox Live. Pay a fee to get all of the extra features, or stick with the limited free version.
I'm upgrading on my travel laptop because I really don't like Windows 8....
If the investment you need is unavailable where you are located, I would suggest making a mold from the printed piece. FTX Green can withstand temperatures up to 800F (426C) without deforming. This...
Not a piece of design, but a bit of nostalgia. This is the first printer I ever used. My introduction into 3D-printing. This is a Solidscape T66BT 3D Printer. It's got dual-extruders printing a...
Here's a piece where 3D-printing saved a lot of time and hand fabrication. The customer wanted a large ballerina ring but she wanted the cluster to be removable so she could wear it as a pendant. The...
This piece has a bit of a history lesson with it. This is my interpretation of a Memento Mori piece. Memento Mori is defined as the medieval Latin theory and practice of reflection on mortality,...
I made this piece after a trip to the Kimball Art Museum in Fort Worth TX to see the Samurai Armor exhibit. Many design elements from the samurai armor are incorporated into the design.

Wonderful. Pictures have vanished.:confused:
Not to worry.
Here's the old ones minus one I can't find.

With FTX Cast, you have to cure, and cure, and cure, and then cure some more. It will turn from a light-green shade to white with a hint of pink. Sometimes I would have to run 6-10 cycles in the cure...
I can tell you that 1. 3D Systems, 3. Envisiontec, and 5. DWS (Digital Wax Systems) all use proprietary resins. It may be possible to use third-party resins, but they were not intended to and will...
Magic, eh? Been a while since I talked to the coven. I wonder if they still have my wand...:p
Pretty sure there aren't any naked edges or bad surfaces on the model. Usually, if there's a bad...
I've done casting tests on the Form1 castable resin and it didn't cast as well as I'd hoped. Still leaves bad surfaces and some porosity. I haven't been able to test the material from the B9 (though...

I've never used them personally, but they are very active on CAD Jewelry forums posting pictures of prints and finished pieces. It says on their site...
