It has to be considered a hobby.. it cost money you may or may not get back. At this point for me,(6 years in) I have made back the cost of the hardware, have added a second printer and the things I...
Print time is dependent on print speed, extrusion width (nozzle size). layer height, infill percentage, travel moves (nozzle moving between areas where it prints), modle size and amount of support...
There is no compatibility issues between CAD/Modeling software and 3d printers. You export your 3d Model as an STL file which get imported into your slicing software and exported as gcode that the...
Modeling you parts is a software in itself. Slicing the model for printing is another software in itself.
You can change the size of any model within the slicer by percentage or by entering a size...
There are many chess sets out there on the web for free. You do not have to learn to model right off the bat.
Here is a set I made including the board, is on thingiverse for free.. I used wood...
Shipping to the UK really is not a big deal so I am game! What is the exact purpose of this part and why is it 1.3mm thick is that just what the original was due to the material or is there a actual...
TPU for printers typically comes in a couple different harnesses.. Take a look that the Ninja Teck website. I use Ninjaflex and Cheetah.. first is softer and stretchier than the other..
...
what material. I a nut shell if you are using the proper temperature and speed you should not have issue.. delamination will typically be due to the thread not bonding to the existing thread.. ...
Can you change the orientation of the part by rotating it 90 digress so the point is up.. you can not print over open air..
In the slicer the is a way to put whatever surface you want on the build...
what your part looks like does not matter.. the system works from the build plate up .. Bottom is what touches the plate, top is what has nothing above the bottom. So if the part that touches the...
Slicers have settings for number of bottom layers, number of top layers, number of perimeters... if zero then you get no layers..
you did not say where the part is failing. Are the blades coming off the hub? I would have added a fillet where the blade meets the hub to make that area much thicker. 3d printing and parts that...
Can you show me what you are looking to do? Do you have a model already made or still conceptualizing it in your head?
well anything thing can be done with enough time, money and information. More than likely you could use a 3d printer to make it but as I said, you need to know what is possible and how to go about...
Had never heard of such a thing but a quick google shows what it looks like.. This type of object would not print very well. ALL open spaces would need supports and the thin curved structure does...
I have one of these, just cut most of the trays so 2 rolls of filament can fit inside

Glad you got a print done! Things like this are why the higher end printers cost more.. Tight tolerances, well built assemblies that do not change from how they are set, etc. Please know, that when...
Ok, so cleaning filament is just that. When you remove the pla you heat the nozzle with the nozzle way above the bed and you extrude 200 or 300 mm. Then you remove it and insert whatever you are...
and what happens when the print starts.. filament balls up or just does not stick? Have you run cleaning filament through your hot end after the PLA and before the PETG? I really do not know what...
PETG sticks to anything if the starting Z axis offset (gap between nozzle and bed when it is at Z0 is within the proper parameters. I use to print on heated glass, and removing the print was the...
I just did a quick google for 3d printing bed adhesion issues and this one should answer all your questions

HAHAHAHAHAH yeah max travel speed when dong a non printing move maybe.. My antient Makergear M2 does that, does not mean you can actually lay down plastic at that rate and get a useable part! If...
I don't believe so, it is a heating element, just a resistance load, so make no difference which way the current flows.

Hi Bob, additive fabrication is probably not what you want. If you are using O-rings you are trying to seal something. 3d printing is not known for it's air/water tightness. Also as you fear, the...
