![]() I see others printing with PET+ filament.
They claim “PET+ is stronger than many ABS filaments and has the higher print success rates of PLA. It's ideal for anything functional that needs toughness with some flex.” I will try this out down the road. like this. PET+ Filament Opaque Colors | MadeSolid |

![]() I would love to have one that does Delrin. That stuff can handle very high temps. I bet it will be a while before we see that one. but who knows the market is changing fast.

![]() I made a new part for my printer.
Tonight I need to adjust my Z End Stop and the print bed. The first layer came out decent but not as good as it could. Last edited by pinballlooking; 04-29-14 at 10:46 AM.. |

![]() New software installed.
MakerGear | Simplify3D All the settings are already configured. Wow big help. I printed a tool holder for the printer. I now have the Z End Stop dialed in and the bed leveled. Seems like a major improvement. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBt...JPYOIfQ/videos They have some nice training on these settings. Last edited by pinballlooking; 04-29-14 at 10:46 AM.. |

![]() I printed a spare part for my printer. Then I printed R2D2.
I was too ruff clean the printing supports so I will have to glue his legs. Last edited by pinballlooking; 04-29-14 at 10:45 AM.. |

![]() I am not really sure it was printing before I went to bed and it was done in the morning.
I will check the software it gives a print est. I just printed a phone case but it did not turn out at all. |

![]() My son wanted a Halo (Xbox game) gun so here it is hot off the 3D printer.
It is printed with 8 pieces. It is 15" long by 6" from the hand grip to the top of the gun. It feels very close to a actual pistol. The trigger is in wrong in the picture I fixed it. a couple places we should have printed support but we are still learning. Last edited by Daox; 04-15-14 at 12:41 PM.. |
