Printer noob - Can't print consistently on FFCX

[Geoff]

Nah its cool, this issue bugs alot of people and a great solve is just to use a glue stick around the perimeter of where the print is going to go, this will give the edges a good stick throughout the print job.

John,
I disagree. I read your post in the email alert and found it to be very helpful. It would be a good post for anyone just getting started. This is an incredible forum and appreciate the great advice. I bought my FF last week to print a prosthetic hand for my son. Until I found this forum I wasn't sure I'd ever figure it out to the point where we could start printing his hand. We're going to spend a couple weeks playing around with materials and settings before we try the hand. I'm thinking about starting a new Thread to show our progress with the "Hand Project" and solicit advice. Do you think that would be an appropriate use of this forum? Thanks!

Thanks. I felt like I was being kind of snotty, and the thread went well beyond any short-read I gave it.

How old is your son? I saw a cool article this week:http://gizmodo.com/iron-man-prosthet...per-1647614019 . That is a great step up.

This forum is a great place to get information and support. All the best to you and your son, and your project! Please keep us informed!

Cheers,


John

There is a section for Prosthetic's here at this forum. If your problem is because you are using a FlashForge, you will probably get better results in this area. But if the question is about problems making Prosthetic's, the other area might get you a better answer.
