PLEASE HELP!! - Still not able to print on the full build surface after 3 years!

Hello, About 3 years ago I bought the Rostock MAX V1 and sadly i've never been able to truely use the full size of the bed. All i've been able to print really has been in a circle of say 15 cm MAX. I've always just accepted this small build area, because i got tired of trying to calibrate it. Since ...

Re: My WIP on a Tiger I Tank!

Hello again, Here's my update on the Tiger tank, finally. I haven't had much time for this project, still got my life ;) I've been making a few testprints to perfect the turret, I think it looks awesome and that it's pretty high quality for 3d printing. Only last week I've been able to start working ...

I love it! what material is the brown-ish main hull made off? and where did you buy it? I've been looking for a color like that, looks "engineering material" I love how it is does'nt appear shiny. I really like it also and it prints very smoothly and uniformly. The material is GizmoDorks Brown HIPS ...

So far i've designed it like the ultimaker ...

best filament for small prints?

i have only been using PLA since i got my rostock max and its awesome stuff, almost got a 60 cm snap-fit Saturn V finished, super strong stuff but for prints with small layers it makes them look very ugly because it bends upwards with every layer made. now my question is: what is the best material ...

Re: how to change layer extrusion width

Finding the extrusion width: - Go to the slicing tab and choose the settings (configure) for slic3r. - Under the 'print settings' tab (it's the first one you'll see by default) - The last settings group called 'advanced' - If it's using the default settings these will all be 0 - Set them to ...

hello, when i begin a print, in PLA, bed and hotend heated up (hotend "leaking" filament already), it takes about 10-20 seconds after the head started the printing movements before the EZtruder actually starts extruding. i use skirts of 3-4 loops now to ensure filament coming out of the nozzle at ...
