Optimizing Retract On S3D
Normally we run PLA and ABS on our Orion. We've been getting decent results so far very pleased with both machine and software. Lately however we've been running nylon and PETG and seeing a lot more pimples than we did with PLA. Any tricks or tips to optimize the retract settings to reduce this to a...

Re: How do you keep your workshop organized?
I share a shop with Lady McGrumpy. Her stuff is organized, in it's place and labeled. Mine is the total opposite of that -- she tried to clean my stuff up once and I nearly divorced her over it. Took me a week to get everything back into heaps and layers. I know where stuff is -- my system LOOKS cha...

[Orion] [PLA] Layer cooling and the included fan/blower assembly
I've managed to modify mine with a bit of cardstock and glue, so I can print PLA for the time being. It's not ideal but it's not a total bust. What exists out there in terms of "good" modified fan-ducts to work with the existing fan? What is out there in terms of proven/tested single/multi...

[Orion] Gcode Question Related to the "speaker"/"buzzer" On The Control Console
I have several printers here and on each one I use custom G-code to make the speaker play music on print-start and play again at print end. For example, my Folgertech I3 plays the Marine Hymn at start and Ode To Joy when the print ends. Tried to make it work on the Orion this morning, I all I got wa...
