For most printers, if there is no room for the number of selected shells AND infill, the printer will print as many shells as it can, basically rendering the object 100% solid.

Hello! So, the first thing I'm going to suggest is NetFabb. Try running your obj, stl, or whatever through that and see if it works after.
If that doesn't work, then I would be happy to look at...
I don't believe that users can make sub forums.
As far as I know, not even I can make sub forums. It has to be done by an Administrator.
I would ask Eddie, Brian, or SarahA. (Administrators whose...
I recently had a small chat with an engineer from the DoD, and he told me something that I hadn't heard before when I asked him how he got his 2X to work.
The simple mechanics are thus: Most of...
I have a fix that worked for me.
The two nozzles will NEVER be aligned perfectly, AND the plate itself has a convex surface that can't be flattened.
The biggest problem that I was alerted to...
Who else is here?
What have you guys seen, or who have you guys met that was interesting?
Also, if anyone wants to meet up for a bit, let me know. I'm traveling around with a rather large group....
I don't have the name on-hand right now, but it's the same one that Shapeways uses.
Can anyone help me think of some good, persuasive points of how a $40,000 Full-color sandstone 3d printer would benefit a school? We already have two Makerbot systems, but We'd like to take our...

Welcome to the FIRST Robotics folder! This is where you can discuss various things related to any FLL, FRC, or FTC competition.
FIRST is about community, as well as learning how to build a robot....
So! If any of you guys are interested, I have a temporary chat setup on Skype. You can either use the string of stuff below or if that doesn't work, just add me and I'll put you in the group!
You...
If you'd like someone to talk to, I'd be more than happy to have a chat!

I'm almost always on the Canternet IRC servers, specifically in #celestiaradio...
One thing I noticed about Makerbot printers is that they CAN NOT handle system time changing if you are printing from a computer.
Without looking at the files, what you could try would be to export it as another filetype and use Meshlab to turn it into an STL.
Try OBJ first, and come back here with what happens.
I have a total of three systems in my control. Two at school and one at home.
I actually just ordered like five rolls the other day.
We had one a while back. Not sure what happened to it while I was gone.
I've always been a fan of having one. If enough people want one, I'd gladly make a temporary one on Skype or IRC until we...
If you use Makerware, you can simply open two instances of the program, open the file on both, and tell each to connect to a different printer.
I've done that before, but I don't think that's...
So, if all you want to do is make a 3d punch-out of that image, there are steps you can follow online that will let you export that file from Adobe Illustrator as a .SVG and then import it into the...
Well, while at the Inside 3D Printing Expo in NYC, there was a raffle for some printers and someone there 'unofficially' form Hershey won one of them and said that they might be looking into it in...
If they work, I'd gladly buy them...
If they don't work, I'd gladly buy them for less money and fix them...
Where are you located? What school is it?
God Bre... What have you done...
Wait... What?
I pitched the idea of backing this to my school and told them one inch...
That was the deciding factor. I can't get them to agree to back this for $333 unless we can recycle our...
What do you teach?
Let us know how it goes, I'm trying to get our printers to get used by more classes so I'd love to know how you're integrating it into your curriculum.
If it's okay with you, I'd make a Skype group and any mods on the site I'd give whatever powers Skype will let me give people in a group chat.
If you don't want one, that's fine. If you don't...
If Kickstarter would ever take my card info, I'd back you today.
