Got it Syd. I had to uncheck "retrieve remote file and reference locally". Do you find you have to uncheck that option?

Thanks for the help!

This is my first phone case. PLA supplied with the printer.

For the record I ceased to use PB when they started to charge and went to various other sites then finally imgur and never looked back.

PB still has a free option.

Have 3 accounts with them, been using PB for like 8years now or so, never once paid them so much as a cent.

When I used them was back around 2004/2005 until they started charging and told everyone to remove their stuff or lose them. I probably still have my account on there.



UGH, to PB and lack of security.

Awww yes, 10GB per month which on those old forums I used was in a mere matter of days (it was a HUGE forum with a lot of traffic).

Royal mail in the 1980's was kick ass and my friend in Hull used to get 4 deliveries a day and if it was an over sized package 5. I always smh on that one as to why so many since he was just in a public housing complex over there. Not sure what you chaps called them but it was a normal house in a community with not much room inbetween but was a public housing complex that, still to this day, we do not see in the states. Back then the mere mention of public housing brought up thoughts of the show Good Times and the projects where crime was king and that is how it was here back then. Still, the projects that are left I will not drive through around at night just too many murders.

Aye it's changed days now with, well everything
Think we'd probably just call it a council estate, well that or a shit hole, ha.
I can get away with that, I was born in one and spent the first 7 years of my life there before my parents decided to move us 60 miles away for a better quality of life. So I've been lucky really, we live in a nice place, crime in the entire region is incredibly low. (Not that I was always a good boy growing up, far far from it, I reeeaaallly enjoyed life but still managed to get an education and good jobs. but no-one outside of my friends knew about my wild side, I hid that well. But oh the stories I could tell you ) but I digress, bloody medication, what the hell was I talking about.

Sorry folks, awfy rambling, you wouldn't want to be in my head. And I've got to work like this, not much will be getting done

Well, all of this is off the subject at hand but I will tell you what was your shit hole would have been a palace and a great way of life here in the states in comparison. After 31 years I am sure they have ran down, or have they, because here they are having to tear down a lot of projects and the homeless rate went up. Section 8 housing is what took its place so the govt had less to do and they saved money. Nothing worse than spend 1k, or more, a month in an apartment and in comes Section 8 who paid 100 per month. Talk about ticked off residents and houses 50-100 per month while your neighbors are 1k-2k per month. The rich hoods screamed bloody murder but the govt told them to move to an island.

I know it's off subject, honest I'll stop rambling.
But that's just crazy, honestly the past few years the world has gone crazy and the next few, now that's a scary thought. Trump as president?? UK splitting from the EU, god knows what it's going to be like in a year or two. (Sorry if anyone is a Trump supporter, from the outside as a non US citizen he seems, em, certifiable?) incidentally I'm not anti-US at all, I keep trying to talk the wife into moving there, I've loved it when I've visited.

Better say something on topic, I'm a happy chappie, finally got my Qidi dialed in the way I want it. Test cubes coming in almost bang on target. Less than 0.001 variation from the 20x10 and 20x20 cubes I printed. I'm calling that close enough.

What's the tallest piece you have been able to print?

Depends on the material but around 10-12cm then something always seemed to happen.

Ok, I am going for a 145mm print. Something tells me I am going to want a print for taller items!
