FDM printer users can have ton of issues when trying to get their printer to print properly.
Almost every printer kickstarter or launch video is a stock happy background music and showing the...

I know there's a "moisture meter" for checking moisture content in wood.
Can it or some other tool be used for checking the level of humidity in my pellets before feeding my Filastruder?

Aquanet is not available locally.
What other brands to look for, or what ingredients to look for?

I've tried this, still warping....

I know there are companies that sell pellets targeted at "home" 3d printer filament extruders.
But the cost including shipping (to Persia) kind of beats the purpose for me for making my own filament...

I hear mixed opinions about these:

I don't seem to be able to find GT2 pulleys for sale which have a 6 mm bore (hole) to put on my 6mm shaft.
I see only 6.35 mm GT2 pulleys on eBay. The ones that listed as 6mm turned out to be 6.35mm...

Hi. Thanks. Can you please explain why it will be more accurate.

The reason I made this thread is someone else said this in my printer's forum:
"Mxl belts aren't designed for linear motion. But...

I know most printers use GT2 belts but some 3d printers like Solidoodle come with MXL belts and pulleys.
Is one better than the other and is there a reason to switch?

Acetone has less predictable, less controllable and uneven (caused by gravity and how acetone vapor moves in your chambler) final result and a glossy finish you might not want which could be achieved...

Looks cool, but isn't acetone few dollars and sand blasting tools over 1000?

So I have a Solidoodle4 with a 0.4mm nozzle.

All I know is it can print at 0.31mm for support material, which is the default slicer setting from the official download.

But how low can I go and...

Another user "grob" shared this photo of the wiring.
Thought Id share it with the rest here.

Someone suggested to use an SSR instead of car horn relay.

does the relay need a cooler?


First time hearing this.

Should I even try electroplating the insides of a mold, or it won't work?

Thanks for the explanation. I think I'm starting to get it.

Then I get this question: do I really need a relay and connecting the heatbed to the power supply if I don't care about speeding up...

Granted I'm not experienced in electronics, but being able to connect the wires to an upgraded 30A power supply and measuring VREFs with a multimeter after watching or reading a tutorial, I don't...

Thanks for the reply.

I actually thought of electroplating then getting rid of the ABS in acetone tank or heating it until it melts, but one problem I have in mind with electroplating: won't...

I've seen people using the "lost PLA/ABS" method of getting a metal objects from 3d printed (or not) plastic ones.

But increasing the size of the object the metal version can , well, get pretty...
