For the issue of a computer going into sleepmode and stopping a print... on my iMAC (which is how I print), I use the app, Caffeine. It places a little coffee cup icon at the top of my screen and I can select it anytime to override sleep mode. I can change the settings to: Indefinite, or 5, 10, 15, ...

Working on a replacement dryer door handle for my girlfriend. The original handle is cracked through the whole baseplate. It's actually a fun project for a newbie like me! I just have to place small tabs underneath the base on each long side in order to 'snap' the part into the handle opening of the...

Our nurse at the clinic (I operate a small laboratory there) got the idea for her boyfriend to buy him all the parts (he already has a longboard) and make his Christmas gift a DIY kit! I hacked out a two-piece aluminum mounting bracket and printed a two-piece as well as a one piece solid bracket. I ...

Thanks for the lesson nitewatchman! Mac The Knife, I was thinking of printing with the orientation reversed for me (starting with the prongs down... like in the righthand imnage of yours). Nice prints there too! Hope you have a longboard, motor and all the other stuff so you can build that sweet ele...

Oh... and I should mention that when I finally did view the layers in MatterControl... the anomoly showed up, by it's count, in the 40+ layer scheme no up in the 70's... for what that's worth...

nitewatchman, Thanks for all that! Can't tell if you're some kinda surgeon or you work on a secret program dissecting aliens! "...popped out sections of the skin and climbed inside... Long as I stay on your good side... I'll be able to walk around town without looking over my shoulder all the t...

Xenocrates, hahaha.... 'circus engineer version'?... cool! :lol: . nitewatchman, I contacted the person on thingiverse who posted this originally... hopefully he or she will send me the whole file. What I get from TVerse appears to be a locked file that can be read but not opened by me. Here's what ...

Thanks Xenocrates... but... I tried the repair and it got worse! hahaha... what a mess! Again... I'm done with this print but someday hope to understand how to fix something like this if it ever happens to my creations! Of course... if it's my own creation... I'll have the code to go back and dissec...

teoman, thanks! tonight I put a new file in and clicked 'generate' and figured out what 'bar' you were talking about... the vertical scrolling slider. I'll put that problem file in next... although it will still only show me where the problem starts, and how it prints each layer... not the actual co...

teoman, Thanks. I do use Layer View, but it just gives me realtime tracing of what the printer is printing. That's where I got the screenshots I link to in my opening post. What I'm not sure is how to go about viewing and scrolling through each layer... if possible. Even then... I can see what the p...

Guess I'll finally do this intro thing. . Finally stopped all the searching, researching, and waiting... received my Orion printer several months ago and have been printing PLA and t-glase on it ever since. . I only use OpenScad at the moment, although I do attempt to do work in Sketchup... then wal...

Thanks ya'll! I'm one of those who've been printing by the seat of my pants... not real well-versed on slicers. I mainly use OpenScad to design my own stuff, then send the .stl file to my computer, and use MC from that to print. . I haven't done much in the way of Thingiverse, or anyone else's, file...

I'm just glad I was sitting here when it started do...

I am doing a second print of a toothed pulley for an e-Longboard skateboard conversion. Both printings have this one anomaly on layers; 70,71,73,74, and 75. Basically, the print commands have it stop printing my hex infill for approx. 1/3 of the surface of those layers... same place each layer... th...
