Confused as hell on this one. I've been printing polyhedral dice the past couple days; the 12-sided and 20-sided are about 25mm diameter. Each has printed fine two or three times. Right extruder...

The latest version of S3D does that line across the front edge by default. However, I also use a skirt, and if I'm printing with both extruders I use either an ooze shield or a prime pillar,...

I tried that, and it actually activates the pause functionality as if the print had been printing when I pressed the button. It lowers the platform and goes into the "draining pipe" routine. Then,...

Also tried M25 and M226, which both pause the print, but they don't seem to pause it. The extruder homes, then comes right back to the print...

I edited my gcode file to have

G28 XY
M0

so I could drop a magnet into a cavity in the print. The extruder does go home and the print pauses...but I can't get it to re-start. On my...

God, I'm an idiot, thanks SpragClutch. I've been setting the preheat to 250 for my ABS loading and it never occurred to me that that was overriding the default setting. Appreciate the help!

Sorry if this has already been discussed. I can't seem to get any hits using the Search, and I did browse back to April looking for threads.

I've got a spool of PVA, have a dual extruder print...

So, I upgraded to S3D 3.0 yesterday, and finally started getting successful multi-color, two extruder prints again. Aardvark, I was using (and still am) the default settings in S3D regarding first...

Extruder wheel isn't skipping, and the extrusion multiplier is set at .9. (I'm just using the S3D defaults for many settings.) I don't know how to prime the extruder before the G28 command, though;...

I'm trying to print some two-color prints with my Dreamer and running into some issues that I didn't have with the same operation in the past. New objects, new .gcode files, so it's not necessarily...

Apologies for putting a question in here about the forum rather than the hardware, but this is driving me nuts. The forum contents, messages themselves, everything other than my input box is showing...

I have a Dreamer as well, but I haven't used buildtak sheets. I always print on glass, so not sure how much I can help, but I do have a few thoughts. Most important is that when I'm printing with...

Like I said, I haven't tried it, and I haven't found a scenario where I see a reason to try it. However, that's different from "no printer does it," and OP asked if it's possible.

Actually, Simplify3D will allow this -- when you have two different processes and hit "Prepare to Print," Simplify3D asks if you want ot print layer by layer or object by object. I've never tried...

Yeah, "gears" is my general word for "don't know what's inside this machine, but something clearly ain't right." I think it has something to do with the height of the platform -- when you send yours...

Okay, discovered one new thing -- the printer seems to have lost track of where the 0 is for the Z axis. When I give it the Home command it moves the head to the back right corner and the bed to Z =...

Really at a loss here...my Dreamer started grinding terribly when printing and I can't pinpoint what this noise is. You can hear it at the 24 second mark in this video.

At first I thought that...

I've noticed that there's one point, a little more than halfway down, where my platform is consistently producing a rubbing noise as it travels up and down the center screw. Any advice on...

I'm visiting Dublin in a couple of months, Aardvark. Want me to bring you a box of Polymakr? :)

I like the Hatchbox filaments quite a bit --I haven't had many clogs with those, and I suspect...

Or maybe, raft question. Is there a particular situation where one should use a raft?

Yesterday I printed a large-ish piece of a box; it's about 9x5 cm at the opening and rises about 7cm to a...

This is my first attempt at an OpenSCAD script for something functional; if anyone has suggestions for improvement they're happily accepted.

Curious Aardvark sent a script about a month ago to...

I just spent an hour cleaning out the extruder -- I'm always nervous about this kind of thing, as I'm more persistent than experienced when it comes to my electronics' innards. I ended up cleaning...

Incidentally, you asked about other software earlier in the thread. (For a change I read the entire thread before replying, to see if anyone else had already mentioned this...)

My FlashForge...

The Flashprint software that ships with the Dreamer actually has a setting for a build platform threshold before triggering the extruder heating -- I don't recall how adjustable it is since I've been...

I thought I saw an ad showing filament at Radio Shack -- I'm going to stop by there today and see if they actually have it in stock; it never occurred to me that any place would carry it brick and...
