....but gahdammit I'm obviously using noob lazy techniques and have to do more study about how to model properly.

As soon as i...

I think I had walls set to 2. Changing it to 1 seems to have fixed the problem.

ah yes you're right. I meant the walls are capped, not the end. it is a double walled cylinder or a tube with a 1.1mm thick wall.

I made the tube by making two concentric circles 1.1mm apart and...

Hey have you looked at these methods. most require some hardware modifications and 4/5 are for 2d circuits

1. Solder extruder for reprap printer http://youtu.be/Wnu4lmOnX00
2. Laser circuit...

Why doesn't the build plate just stay calibrated. What is actually happening?

Is it :
-the build plate springs have memory
-The nuts loosen
-support part slippage
-Gremlins
-some other sort...

I made a cylinder in rhino5 with a wall thickness of 1.1mm It seems pretty solid and looks normal, but when I go to print it looks (and prints) hollow with no end caps both in makerbot and...

heres a better one

this guy actually did some tests and looks at acetone prints under microscopy.

I know this is an old post, but I reckon it would make it stronger

These people reckon it does. not very good evidence I admit:

Ah thanks Andy. Good to know its not just me.

I was able to unload and load the filament with no clicking so the drive wheels must be ok.

ah damnit its the left nozzle not the filament.

I hope if is just a setting and not something more physically defective.

I seem to be able to load and unload filament ok. so surely its not a...

I had uneven nozzles. I got them much better by tightening/loosening the 2 screws beneath the carriage.

more testing. It doesn't happen when I use the right nozzle, only the left. I might try swapping the filaments around to see if its just the Filament/color that is the problem.

I couldn't find...

Hmm Maybe I've understood the problem wrong. The clicking can't be because the carriage is going too far to the left. Since it stops only 1mm off the edge and is capable of going much further off the...

I found some links to makerware 2.4 and earlier https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/makerbot/Bkk-lxveXk4 What version would you use?

Thanks.

I wasn't too worried about it not printing in the center. I just thought it might help diagnose the problem of the printer trying to go beyond the X axis limits with that first initial...

When I print with makerware, the first printed line starts a few cm from the right and it tries to go off the left edge of the build plate resulting in clicking.

After this there is no material...
