Hi,
I just finished building my i3 from a kit and need help printing I have no idea what firmware I am running and need operating instructions.

I turned on the printer and inserted my sd card. It...

Actually what I would like is to heat up both faster. I am afraid though that adding a separate power supply at a higher voltage may burn out the bed. Also without thermal feedback I may also exceed...

What is the difference between the MK8 and MK9? How can I tell what I have? Is it worth upgrading?

Good idea. What I did was to place a small paper washer the thickness of the difference under the high side screw

When I manually preheat the FF both bed and extruder heat at the same time. So the power supply must be able to handle both (or three if both tools selected) without damage

I am leaning toward the T-Glas or HD glass since they are PET. PET is completely food safe and is the material used in soda bottles etyc.

I have heard these stories. Thats why I hope someone has had a good experience.

I am looking for a really clear filament. Which is the best? ABS, PLA, T-GLAS?
Suggestions appreciated.

I just read that MakerBot is laying off 100 US staff and shutting down all their US retail stores.

Seems to me they were overly ambitious in a crowded market.

Yes, S3d does have ts faults, the chief one being lack of good doumentation. understandable for free stuff but unacceptable at $140.
It is my primary slicer though. As Mr. Aardvark says, Once you...

Down side of replacing aluminum bed is that you can't have several glass beds and remove them tot clean. and to stick in freezer to safely release models.

I don't know that this can be done successfully. For PVA you need a cold bed but ABS requires a hot bed (around 100c). The are not compatible.
I would suggest using ABS for the supports. Since your...

You need a shim on the z axis to trip the limit switch earlier so glass does not collide with extruder nozzles. In your case you need a 1/4" to match the glass thickness. A good example is...

simplify3d is worth it especially if you do dual extruder printing or need to program periodic stops for parameter change or to change filaments. Has a learning curve though. Instructions almost...

Sorry!

I bought a roll of HIP filament from IC3D to test as a support material for ABS. Results were very good.

1) I printed several models at the same temperature 230/110 that I use for ABS. Same...

What I have done is make a thick base then paused when the infill was almost done and filled the base with lead birdshot. I then resumed printing and the shot was covered by the solid layer that...

Hi can someone help me understand where a 5-6" expansion is possible?
If I want to print only the right nozzle I can expand the bed and gain the width of the nozzle separation about 1.5 inches on...

Hi,
Has anyone had experience with using HIP for a dissolvable support with ABS?

Are there any other advantages of modeling with HIP rather then ABS?

3 point is the more standard way. Flashforge used 4 points on early models then switched. Instruments that require leveling like surveying instruments all use 3 points.

I find that two passes of...

Need more information, photos best. Would help if you could observe if roughness in any direction. If in X direction could be a loose belt.

Try acetone to soften and then scrape gently with...

On Creator - My left nozzle is lower then my right. From factory - never changed. If right nozzle correct left gouges?

How do I adjust?

You might want to exercise it a bit to see if everything working without heat.
Go to utilities and try jogging each axis make sure they stop when they hit end of travel switches. Then try home...

Thanks for your reply. I tried jiggling wires. No response. I have a replacement harness on the way.
