    Advice required

    Hi can anyone advise me? I’m fairly new to 3d Printing and I’m thinking of buying a Flashforce Creator Pro. One job I want to print has a Diameter of 148mm. Looking at the spec for the flashforce some say its 150mm and sum say 145mm. Would I be able to print this?

    WOW this is close but with precise placement of the model on the build and mechanical end-stops placement this can be achieved.
    Though this is going to take a skilled 3D Printer operator to accomplish.

    150mm is the actual bed width. And i have pribted right to the edges on my rep clone (amost of these enclosed boxy style printers are based on the original makerbot replicator - if you want to know if it's a rep clone. Look at the print volume. usually 223-225x150x150 - or numbers really similiar to that).
    So yeah - you should be able to just about squeeze a 148mm print on to it.
    worst caes scenario you slice it in half and print two 74mm parts and glue them to gether.
    Flashprint lets you do that.
    But better to do it in a cad package then you can add interlocking joints to insure the two parts match up exactly.
