Hi Selficide,

Unfortunately, I won't be able to advise on the 3D scanner, however, in terms of 3D printing you have some excellent choices.

The Prusa i3 is a great kit to start out with....

Hi Curious Aardvark,

I sell 3D printer filament in the UK. If you are interested then please PM me.

I do agree with you that prices of other retailers have been increasing recently. I think...

Justin,

Have you tried the slicer Cura? Its a very good slicer considering it's free

Wow that doesnt look a great set up. Surely a couple of car batteries and a 3D printer is more portable than all those solar panels.

Hi Tony,

Yes the part you show is definitely a viable 3D printable part. Almost anything is 3D printable if support material is added but your part would be printable without support material.
...

As above, please post a link to your slicer setting and that will really help.

However, a few points:

It seems that your Benchy is fairly small and this may affect the quality of the model....

Great print. I have seen a few people print these Lions with good effect. We might give it a go soon. Makes a change from Baby Groot

I would suggest looking at your PTFE tubing as mentioned above.

It could also be your belts becoming loose thus effecting the ability for the nozzle to change directly quickly.

Yeah easiest way to get a print off a bed is to cool it right down. Spraying compressed air onto the base of the print will have a cooling affect and should work perfectly.

Be careful as if you...

It looks like under-extrusion. This can be a common issue with flexible filaments. You can up your feed/flow rates on your slicer which would help. The best solution would be to physically prevent...

If your printer can heat to higher temperatures (250 deg for nozzle and 110 deg for the bed) then you should be absolutely fine printing ABS. If you don't have a heated bed then you can use an ABS...

If the website is your own then I think a policy of disclosing any interest you have in the website would win you more favour on this forum.

However, regardless of that, I think the idea is a...

Sanzana,

There are so many printers out there and each one has fans and opponents. Have you narrowed it down to a few printers? Perhaps once you get to that stage we will be able to help you.

Looking nice. You've certainly finished that well as it is hard to tell that youve 3D printed it.

This is a great project and thats going to be one large Bismarck once you're done. Are you thinking of powering the model once youre done or will it be static display?

Regards, ...

That looks amazing! I was expecting to be able to see some of the give away signs that this is 3D printed but I cannot find any.

I particularly love the weathering you have applied to it.
...

There are so many 3D printers available. It is refreshing to see so much choice but this can lead to difficulties when deciding what to buy.

Perhaps it might be best to decide on a budget and...

This is an awesome project. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

Yes it looks like you have your printer dialled in well. Are you able to share your printer settings?

It depends on your environment whether you have to dry filament. In a dry room with little moisture in the air would be fine for storing filament. This is probably why you have never had to dry the...

Yes I agree with the above. Download Netfabb basic (which is free) and then follow the steps above. This method always gives an excellent result for us.

Hi WILL_STEF,

I am glad that you fixed this issue. Are you able to explain how you managed this?

The Dremel is a good quality printer, but, as pointed out, it does lack a lot of features such as a heated bed. I think even for this reduced price there are better options to go with.

If i understand what your saying, the print head is grinding over the dried print as it warps due to the infill cooling slower than the outside?

In most slicers you can edit the infill print...

As Mjolinor said, PLA is similar to most plastics in terms of its conductivity/resistivity.

Do you have a particular use in mind? Some of us might be able to comment on whether PLA is suitable.
