So I thought I would give a glass plate a try. Thus far glass sucks. I'll try to tweak the settings one more time tomorrow, but even with a bunch of glue down on the bed it's just sliding all over the place. So I guess I'll try some of the ready made sheets you guys suggested as the parts are sticking to blue tape so bad that I fear I'm going to warp the bed removing prints. |

Bah! Never mind, the glass is actually better, I just goofed a bit of g-code. Printed out the little makerbot keychain and he turned out pretty good. You can make out most of his buttons and stuff, so I call that a success. I need to lay off the glue stick a little next time, but I actually managed to get a flat edge on the bottom without any path lines. He pulled off the glass a lot better than the tape, so assuming I can get this glue stick ratio down I think I'll stick with glass. |

| Howard_Casto:
Yeah it's a pretty good printer so long as you understand that you'll be fiddling with it. Like I kept getting thermal overruns recently... the solution was to zip-tie a set of wires down because the vibrations were wiggling the thermal sensor loose. I've printed most of the hardware for my world of Nintendo cab with it and it has held up well. |
