I did see your revision to Greg Wade’s Extruder and thank you for the comments. Has there been a noticeable increase in print quality with the BMG? With the lighter weight I would assume there would...

RobH2 that’s great to hear! Im curious if the rod version before the v-rails lends more stability. This week as I’ve been looking at newer printers to see what has been going on in the industry I...

Hell Printbus,

It's great to see you still have your 8" MF i3v running. This is the same model I have which I just dusted off last week and got her running again after almost four years. She still...

BLKKROW that did the trick I had a washer of the right size at home. Thank you very much.

I just noticed my hot end isn't as secure as I thought. On retraction it is shifting. See here:

Yes that's right it's pushing air through the hot end sink and into the boxed end bottom of the x-carriage. Thanks for that bit of info I'll keep it in mind going forward and thanks to everybody else...

I'm using a cheap brand of hair spray

Ran a print with the Light off and all plexi glass walls up on the enclosure. Started at 93 degrees and got up to 97 almost midway through the print before stopping it. Problem was still there.

Looking around online I saw that 140 degrees Fahrenheit is an optimal tempature inside an enclosure when printing with ABS. That is ABS I'm printing with. I built the enclosure because I was having...

I built an enclosure for my Makerfarm i3v and before I had it dialed in well and printing great test cubes. After putting the 3D printer into the enclosure I've encountered this issue. It seems like...

Hello Lakester. Interesting use you are putting your MakerFarm to. I like it.



I believe I tried using Inkscape for this exact reason at one point when doing some 3D modeling of my motorcycle...

Okay I got the settings all in there and they're working good. Cura hasn't had issues with the prints I had troubles with using that older version of Slic3r. I've printed good test cubes and other...

Anybody tried Fry's Electronic's filaments?

USarmyaircav and Printbus thanks for the responses. First I want to apologize for spreading this over multiple threads. As you two responded I dug up an earlier post of Printbus's here:...

Printbus what you set your Cura settings at compared to what my settings for Slic3er are here's some observations.
Looking at some settings MakerFarm provides out of the box for Slic3r there is a...

I've been searching putting bits and pieces together from here and there trying to get my head wrapped around slicing programs. I've had lots of problems with the Slic3r version recommended on prints...

Thanks for that I'll keep it in mind. Have a roll of ABS coming from Colin

Hello all I've assembled my MakerFarm 8" i3v and loving it. Colin recommended I print PLA at 225 with the E3d V6 hot end I installed and that seems to be working good. That seems high so I was...

I don't have any way to measure their weight unfortunately

Hello I'm trying to get the firmware I need for my RAMPS board since I'm going to use the E3d hot end on my new i3v. I'm unable to download it from the link below Makerfarm links to. I would like the...

What do you mean you have the hot bed already?

Okay thanks I plan on printing with ABS regularly so I'll get one.

I'm not sure what type of power supply cord to get for the power supply. Makerfarm recommends getting the wiring kit with the...

I can't seem to find info on reasons to upgrade to an aluminum hot bed. Anybody know? I'm about to purchase a Makerfarm i3v and wondering if I should get the aluminum bed.
