Be sure to take into consideration the mass change if you move from a belt to a chain. The weight of the belt is going to be far less than a metal chain. The weight of the chain is going to reduce...
From what I see online, it's a resin printer. Take seriously the health considerations when using. The vapors from the resin can damage your lungs. The worst aspect of this is that it takes time to...
Yes, that's why I suggested it's not THE answer.
Fresh out of the box a spool of filament can contain excessive moisture, yes.
It's not necessarily THE answer, but ensure that your filament is dry. PETG absorbs moisture and can cause so many unusual problems when printing. The before and after photos on the internet are...
I thought I had grabbed a great deal from the local Craigslist. My printer uses 2.85 mm filament through Bowden tubes and I've recently discovered that the stuff is nearly 3 mm and some of it...
Research shows that you have a Creatbot R3D Dash printer. It appears that the manufacture date is just prior to another company taking over the name, if not outright purchasing the original company....
If you take sufficient quantity of photos from all angles, you can use photogrammetry to create a mesh and an exported .OBJ file from which to create your models. Ideally, you'll have a specific...
Fusion 360 has a free hobbyist version. It's only slightly limited, especially for new modelers and requires that you renew annually, but free is a good price. Tons of tutorials on the interweb to...
It is indeed known the correct method of assembly for a nozzle/hot end/heat break/heat sink.
In order to ensure that the heat break is properly sealed to the nozzle, the nozzle should be threaded...
Now that I'm awake, I used Fusion 360 to import both meshes, used Mesh/Modify/Combine and created the attached file. It passes Meshmixer's Inspector.
Hope this is what you wanted. If not, let me...
Okay, that was WRONG. You're asking for the difference and I did a combine. Sheesh. I'll get back on it in the morning.
I selected the Queen component, then performed a plane cut and aligned the cutting plane to the monolith. On execution, I selected both components and performed Combine. The result is attached. There...
Rather than firing up F360 again, I loaded the full STL into Meshmixer and did a "separate shells" then exported each letter to its own file, attached for your viewing pleasure. It's very likely your...
I confirmed that I have Microgramma D Bold Extended typeface installed in my computer. I then started Fusion 360 and started a new sketch on the x/y plane. Selecting Create>Text and dragging out a...
Montana chalk spray (and others) are on Amazon with various colors from which to choose. White is the most common selection, for best reflectivity. The ad copy for this product states that it washes...
TGFT, (may I call you TGFT?), without a clear analysis of the failure mode, one can only make a guess. The photos of the character exhibit specular reflections. The bright dots on the surface can...
Without a clear analysis of the failure mode, one can only make a guess. The photos of the character exhibit specular reflections. The bright dots on the surface can confuse many scanners. One...
First point, one hundred percent infill isn't going to make the part stronger than a lower value. One can have as low as 20 to 25 percent infill and have a fairly strong part, which is more dependent...
yes, the printer will work only with g-code. What Cura does is convert a 3D model from OBJ or STL or 3MF to g-code, which you transfer to the printer. Many other factors to consider and it's good...
You'll probably find that it's more effective to copy the sliced file (g-code) to the memory card and print from that. When you use USB, you're tying up the computer to manage the data that the...
I've been contending with some personal issues and have mostly lost track of the three project assistance projects in which I'm involved. This means that it's critical to drop back to a single...
This forum is a good place to start. I'd be willing to take on the project if you can provide additional information, either in a private message or email. Additionally, there exists a sub-reddit to...
If you have Cura with your printer, it will work, but find out if you can get a printer profile for PrusaSlicer to match your printer. What brand/model printer did you purchase? You have to have the...
