You could perhaps email and start a dialogue with Qid, they usually try and help.

The previous reply did say maybe, it also said it would not stop on, which makes it a pretty pointless waste of time doing it.
Okay, just so I understand the situation, you work in the timing belt...
From looking at the price of TPU, which is anything from £40-£102 per kilo reel and the time and energy cost to produce what you want for your commercial product experiment, perhaps you should offer...
From comments I've seen on this forum, Sketchup is a poor choice for producing STL files.
Plenty of free cad programs on the internet that work well for producing suitable printable files for 3D...
I've put a couple of paragraph breaks in your post, please feel free to change it back if you don't like it.
The link you posted only goes to a picture of a miniature building !
For the last 2-3 years I've barely used anything else except ASA and it's basically my go to filament.
I do have an enclosed printer though and use an all metal hot end.
Personally I don't use the...
Check for clogged extruder gears caused by filament grinding.
Williams in 1981 and Tsuji and Miyauchi in 2001 had the same question ” is PLA is biodegradable”. They have written white papers around the subject and are featured in the book Biomaterials...
From that article about PLA being biodegradable.....
PLA: PLA is a biodegradable material that can degrade rapidly and eventually decompose into natural substances. It is more environmentally...
Set the slicer to variable layer height, this should help but not eliminate the gap problem by making the layer height thinner where a curved surfaces occurs.
The seam appears because of the layer...
From previous threads on here, Sketchup is not very good for creating useable STL files to slice and generate g-code for your printer.
Plenty of free design software available, personally I use...
Yes, really!
You can buy it in adhesive backed rolls a few microns thick.
A printed bed levelling test of which there are many might give you an idea of just how much the bed is quite probably...
Try 100% fan speed for PLA
Have you cleaned the bed with a wipe over with some IPA before each print?
It could be that you need a new bed sheet, the reason I suggest this is that I tend to print ASA and never really had bed...
You realy need to say what temperatures you are using for each filament.
Is the printer enclosed because ABS is usually recommended to eliminate any souce of draughts.
I don't know what's wrong, but you can check the size in the slicer and also look at the preview.
Perhaps you've accidentlaly scaled it in the 'Z' axis ?
Perhaps the problem is with the filament that is giving you the problems.
Can you try a different filament, some suppliers will sell sample filament rather than buy a full reel?
You'll need file of whatever you want to print that is in a format that your slicer understands, save it as STL file in Solidworks.
Then slice it and export the generated G-code as a file.
Save...
Have you leveled the bed and printed one of the many bed leveling files from such as Prusa printables?
Looks to me as if the nozzle is slightly too close to the bed, you could try altering the 'Z'...
I've printed the temperature tower and found that I had to add the G-code M104 S temp at the required points in the slicer to change the temperature, it was not done in the calibration file.
I...
There is slicer called ORCA that has calibration models built into it.
I've just downloaded it to give it a try.
It is the same on my X-CF-Pro, probably part of the general construction and not for any specific purpose.
I do think the ribbon cable will fail prematurely because if a print uses the whole of...
I have two BLtouch probes that no longer worked because the probe had got bent or broken.
It is possible to buy just the probe and give the BL touch a new lease of life, the probe is held in place...
Is your printer still under warranty ?
If so, send video and query to retailer for an explanation and hopefully a solution.
